4. Operating Instructions

The MAMX1 mixer is designed for straightforward operation:

1. Adjusting Input Volume: Each input channel (INPUT 1-4) has a dedicated LEVEL knob. Rotate these knobs clockwise to increase the volume of the corresponding input source and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
2. Stereo/Mono Switching: Above each input LEVEL knob, there is a switch to toggle between "Mono" and "Stereo" modes. Press the switch to select the desired mode for each input. Ensure your cables are appropriate for the selected mode (TRS for stereo, TS for mono).
3. Adjusting Master Output Volume: The overall output volume of the mixed signal is controlled by the OUTPUT knob. Rotate this knob clockwise to increase the master volume and counter-clockwise to decrease it. It is recommended to start with the OUTPUT knob at a low setting and gradually increase it to avoid sudden loud sounds.
