6. Operating Instructions

This section covers the basic operation of your mixer for various audio tasks.

6.1 Basic Mixing

1. Set Initial Levels: Before playing any audio, set all channel VOLUME FADERs and the MAIN VOLUME FADER to their lowest positions. Set all GAIN knobs to minimum and EQ knobs to the center (flat) position.
2. Connect Sources: Plug in your microphones and instruments as described in the Setup section.
3. Adjust Input Gain: For each active channel, gradually increase the GAIN knob while the source is playing (e.g., speaking into the microphone, playing an instrument). Watch the PEAK LED; it should flash only occasionally on the loudest peaks. If it stays lit, reduce the GAIN.
4. Set Channel Volume: Slowly raise the channel's VOLUME FADER to bring the sound into the mix.
5. Adjust Main Volume: Gradually increase the MAIN VOLUME FADER until the desired overall listening level is achieved. Monitor the main LEVEL METERS, keeping them in the green/yellow range.
6. Use EQ: Adjust the HIGH, MID, and LOW EQ knobs on each channel to shape the tone of the individual sound source.
7. Pan: Use the PAN knob to position the sound source in the stereo field.

6.2 Using Built-in Effects

The WEYMIC F7 includes built-in digital effects (DSP) to enhance your sound.

1. Send to Effects: On the desired channel, increase the EFF knob to send a portion of that channel's signal to the internal effects processor.
2. Adjust Effect Parameters: Use the DELAY and REP (Repeat) knobs in the master section to adjust the characteristics of the chosen effect (e.g., delay time, feedback).
3. Control Effect Return: The overall level of the returned effect is controlled by the EFF VOLUME knob in the master section.

6.3 Bluetooth Playback

1. Activate Bluetooth: Press the MODE button in the USB/MP3 section until 'BT' or 'Bluetooth' is displayed. The mixer will enter pairing mode.
2. Pair Device: On your smartphone or Bluetooth-enabled device, search for available Bluetooth devices and select 'WEYMIC Mixer' (or similar).
3. Play Audio: Once paired, play audio from your device. The sound will be routed through the stereo input channel (6/7 / USB).
4. Control Playback: Use the Play/Pause and Skip Track buttons on the mixer, or control playback directly from your paired device.

6.4 USB Playback and Recording

The mixer supports playback from USB flash drives and functions as a USB audio interface for computers.

1. USB Flash Drive Playback: Insert a USB flash drive containing MP3 files into the USB socket. Press the MODE button to select USB mode. Use the Play/Pause and Skip Track buttons to control playback.
2. USB Audio Interface (Computer):
   • Connect the mixer to your computer via a USB cable. The computer should recognize the mixer as an audio device.
   • For Playback: Select the mixer as your computer's audio output device. Audio from your computer will play through the stereo input channel (6/7 / USB).
   • For Recording: Select the mixer as your computer's audio input device in your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software. The main mix of the mixer will be sent to the computer for recording. Note: Some users have reported that the USB functionality is primarily for playback. Ensure your DAW settings are correctly configured for input if experiencing issues with recording.

7. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your mixer.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the mixer. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or waxes.
• Storage: When not in use, store the mixer in a clean, dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Faders and Knobs: Avoid excessive force when operating faders and knobs. Periodically check for smooth operation.
• Cables: Always use high-quality cables and ensure they are properly connected and disconnected to prevent damage to the jacks.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your mixer, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

• No Sound Output:
  • Check if the mixer is powered on and connected to an active power outlet.
  • Ensure all channel VOLUME FADERs and the MAIN VOLUME FADER are raised.
  • Verify that your amplifier/powered speakers are on and their volume is up.
  • Check all cable connections (inputs and outputs).
  • Ensure the GAIN knob for the active channel is sufficiently turned up.
• Distorted Sound:
  • Reduce the GAIN knob for the input channel if the PEAK LED is constantly lit.
  • Lower the channel VOLUME FADER or MAIN VOLUME FADER if the main LEVEL METERS are consistently in the red.
  • Check for damaged cables or faulty input devices.
• Hum or Noise:
  • Ensure all cables are properly shielded and connected.
  • Check for ground loops by trying different power outlets or using a ground loop isolator.
  • Keep audio cables away from power cables.
• Phantom Power Not Working:
  • Ensure the +48V PHANTOM POWER switch is engaged.
  • Verify that your condenser microphone requires 48V phantom power.
  • Check the XLR cable for damage.
• USB/Bluetooth Playback Issues:
  • Ensure the correct MODE (USB or BT) is selected.
  • For Bluetooth, ensure the device is paired and within range.
  • For USB, ensure the flash drive is formatted correctly (FAT32) and contains compatible audio files (MP3).
