Introduction Please Note! This manual assumes use of microphone-level inputs and line-level output, the most typical SmartMixer application. However, all inputs and the output may be individually switched internally to achieve any combination of mic- and line-level input/output. See page 10 for details. What is a SmartMixer? ® The AT-MX351 SmartMixer is a microprocessor controlled, automatic switching, five-channel mixer. The four microphone inputs are XLRF-type balanced, with 48-volt phantom

Installation and Setup AT-MX351 SmartMixer setup tips: 1. Turn the Master level control to the minimum position. Proceed with steps 2-9. 2. Set all Priority DIP switches and Manual mode switch to “down” position. 3. Turn all four microphone Gain controls fully counterclockwise. 4. Connect the power cord to the mixer and plug into AC outlet. Be certain the voltage switch on bottom of unit is set for the voltage of the outlet you are using. 5. Turn Power switch “on.” The mixer will perform a se

Mode 2…Priority Pre-select switches (1-4) Down In this mode, only one mic at a time can be “on.” The lockout bus shuts down all other mics until the first speaker pauses. As soon as the controlling microphone goes silent, the lockout bus goes inactive and any other mic can come on. This switching takes place without any syllable-grabbing delay, or pops or clicks. (This mode is known as “First-come-first-served” or “Filibuster.”) This mode is very useful when the gain setting of the overal

The preamplifier gain may be reduced further, allowing the SmartMixer to accept line-level sources. Changing the settings of the internal switches designated by “SW3,” “SW9,” “SW15” and “SW21” will cause an input reduction of 50 dB for channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. Note that the appropriate internal switches can be used in combination for a total sensitivity reduction of up to 60 dB for each channel. Output Level The SmartMixer’s output is factory set at line level. Should mic-leve

Adjusting ”Off” Attenuation In instances when the number of microphones in use is high, it may be necessary to increase the amount of “off ” attenuation per microphone to keep the total ambient noise level low. There are “off ” attenuation adjustments inside the unit. To adjust the “off ” attenuation of channel 1, unplug the unit, remove the top cover and locate the trimpot designated on the circuit board by “VR3” (Figs. 4 and 5, page 11). It is factory set at approximately 8 dB, the atten

Control Voltage Out When a microphone channel turns “on,” as indicated by a Selected Channel LED on the front panel, the channel’s associated Control Voltage Out goes “high” (+4 VDC). See chart on page 12 for pin connection. This signal can be used to light indicator lamps, switch speaker zones on and off, select video cameras, etc. The control voltage should not be connected directly to an inductive load such as a relay coil, as damage to the mixer may result. Several interface circuit pos

Daisy-chaining Mixers When more than four microphones are needed, it is possible to daisy-chain multiple SmartMixers together through the Link In/Out connectors on their back panels (Fig. 2). Connect Mixer #1 Link Out jack to Mixer #2 Link In jack, etc. Mixer #1 output contains only audio from the first four microphones; Mixer #2 output then contains audio from all the microphones plugged into Mixer #1 and the microphones plugged into Mixer #2. The last mixer in the chain contains audio fr
