Controls and Functions FRONT PANEL CONTROLS INPUT CHANNEL SECTION The following section details each part of the XM610’s INPUT CHANNELS including the 3-BAND EQ, the MONITOR and EFX sends, LEVEL and PAD controls. 1 HIGH MID LOW - Channel Equalizer The XM610 input channels feature a 3-band equalizer allowing you to adjust the high, mid, and low frequencies independently on each channel. The channel’s frequency response is flat when the knobs are in the "12:00" position.
Controls and Functions FRONT PANEL CONTROLS 24 BIT DIGITAL EFFECT SECTION The XM610 features a built-in, 24 Bit Digital Effects processor with 100 high quality, studio grade effects like Delay, Chorus and Reverb. The following section describes the features of the powerful on-board digital effects section. 6 SELECT - Digital Effects Select Switch The SELECT switch allows you to pick one of the 100 built-in digital effects. Simply rotate the SELECT to choose the effect.
Controls and Functions FRONT PANEL CONTROLS POWER AMP SECTION The XM610’s power amplifier section can be configured to operate several ways depending on whether you need MAIN plus MONITOR amplifiers to power your speakers, or if you just need more power for the MAIN speakers. The section below describes the XM610 power amp modes. 11 Mode - Power amp Mode switch The MODE switch is used to select one of three different operating modes, MAINMONITOR, MAIN-MAIN and MAINBRIDGE.
Controls and Functions FRONT PANEL CONTROLS MAIN SECTION The XM610 has two internal power amplifiers and depending on the power amp MODE selection switch, the amplifiers are sent the MAIN or MONITOR bus signal. The following section describes the MAIN bus operation, which allows you to adjust the over-all tone and volume, and specify the mix level of the built-in effects.
Controls and Functions FRONT PANEL CONTROLS MONITOR SECTION 19 The XM610 has two internal power amplifiers and depending on the MODE selection switch, the amplifiers received their input signals from the MAIN or MONITOR bus. The following section describes the MONITOR bus operation, which allows you to adjust the overall tone and volume, and specify the mix level of the built-in effects.
XM610 Input and Output Connections 1 3 2 4 6 5 7 8 9 CHANNEL 1–6 MIC and LINE INPUTS The XM610’s six input channels each have a LINE level, Hi-Z (High Impedance) input and a MIC level, Low-Z (Low impedance) input. By using the PAD switches, you can connect a variety of signal sources from microphones to line level devices such as synthesizers, drum machines and direct boxes.
XM610 Input and Output Connections EXTERNAL OUTPUT JACKS The XM610 features several output connectors allowing you to interface a variety of external devices. A stereo recording device such as a cassette recorder can be connected to the REC OUT jacks, and additional power amplifiers can be connected to the MONITOR and MAIN output jacks. 7 REC OUT - Record Output The signal present at this connector is the MAIN bus signal before it has passed through the MASTER level control and graphic equalizer.
XM610 Input and Output Connections SPEAKER CONNECTION The XM610’s power amplifier section can be configured to operate several ways depending on the setting of the power amp MODE switch located on the front panel. This allows you to choose whether you need MAIN plus MONITOR amplifiers to power your speakers, or if you just need more power for the MAIN speakers. For more information on the power amp MODE switch, see the section POWER AMP SECTION on page 7 of this manual.
Operating the XM610 BASIC OPERATION The following section explains the basic operation of the XM610. CONNECTING MICROPHONES AND INSTRUMENTS 1. Before connecting mics or instruments, make sure that the power of all your systems components, including the XM610, is turned off. Also, make sure that the level controls of each channel of the XM610 and the VOLUME control of the MAIN section are turned all the way down. 2.
Operating the XM610 USING THE DIGITAL EFFECTS The XM610 features a built-in, high quality, 24 BIT Digital Signal Processor offering studio grade effects. The DSP features clean Delay, lush Reverbs and multi-effects like Chorus + Delay or Chorus + Reverb. You can add a broad range of studio quality effects by simply dialing through the 100 presets. The following details the operation of the internal DSP effects: 1.
Operating the XM610 USING AN EXTERNAL EFFECT If you prefer to use an external device for effects processing, you can easily connect the unit using the XM610 EFX bus. Follow the simple steps below to interface your processor: 1. Set the MONITOR section VOLUME control to the "0" position. 2. Raise the EFFECT controls for the channels to which you want the external effect to be applied. 3. Now adjust the EFX LEVEL to about half way. 4.
