Unpacking
Please take a few minutes to read this manual to familiarize yourself with the important information regarding
installation, product features, and operation.
As with most electronic devices, ORIGINAL PACKAGING (OR EQUAL) IS REQUIRED in the unlikely event that
the product needs to be returned for servicing.
1. Do not connect the unit to the AC mains until some preliminary settings are completed. AC mains should only
be switched on later in this procedure. Ensure that the AC power and phantom power switches are in the OFF
position.
2. Move all faders down to the “∞” (minimum gain) position. Turn all level control knobs for TRIM, AUX1, AUX2,
EFX, including those marked AUX SEND, AUX RTN, MONO, TAPE IN, and CONTROL ROOM/PHONES to
the full counter-clockwise or “∞” position. All equalizer controls should be set to the “V” or “0” position.
3. Connect the appropriate OUTPUTS to the inputs of the device that follow the mixing console, or integrate it
with the complete sound/recording system.
4. Connect the INPUT of the mixing console channels to the source devices using the appropriate input channel
connectors (MIC, LINE, STEREO, TAPE).
5. Connect the AC mains to the mixing console and apply AC power by switching the console AC POWER
switch to the ON position. You may also switch on the PHANTOM POWER if you are using condenser
microphones that require phantom power.
6. After ensuring that the various signal sources are activated and providing normal signal levels, adjust the
input channel TRIM controls to prevent the PEAK indicators from steadily glowing.
7. Depress the L/R switch on one of the input channels having signal. SLOWLY increase the Main L R fader
position and the input channel fader until the desired level is reached. The fader position should rarely need
to be adjusted to a position higher than the “0” marking. Obviously, if there is distortion or feedback, reduce
the input signal level, or lower the position of the faders.
8. If step 7 was successful, depress the L/R button and SLOWLY increase the position of the faders of the
remaining input channels being used. Remember, unused channel faders should always be OFF (at “∞”). If
there was a problem at step 7 then some troubleshooting should occur before proceeding any further.

Operation
The following explanation will instruct the user on how to operate the controls and make adjustments. Experience
and patience are required in most cases to get the system to sound good and to fully appreciate the capabilities
of the mixing console.
Begin by reading the “Short Form” instructions. The short form section is provided for operators that do not
require extensive instructions. Novices will benefit from reading the Short Form instructions but will find the
Operation information most helpful. The Operation information provides the foundation for building operating
skills and techniques that can result in proficient console operation.
These instructions are written in operational order and do not necessarily follow the physical layout of the
console.
In a Live application (like the mono church system described later in the PAN explanation), the Left and Right
outputs (or just the Left) may feed an external equalizer. The Left output of the equalizer would then feed a
crossover or amplifier and then the amplified signal would feed the Main speaker. The Right output may be
connected to a tape recorder with a “y” cable to feed both the Left and Right inputs of the recorder. An equalizer
is not required between the console and the tape recorder. Other external electronic devices (such as
Compressor/Limiters) may also be added to this signal path. These should be connected according to their
instructions to the circuit between the console and the equalizer.
Lower the slide faders all the way down to the minimum position and switch the AC mains power ON.

MX-1436/1836/2236(EX)_E 56.8.28 10:6 PM 페이지18
done by adjusting the TRIM control, is to adapt the signal strength of your source to the mixing console input
normal signal level capability. Remember that condenser microphones require Phantom Power voltage to
operate. The console can provide this voltage by switching ON the Phantom Power switch located on the rear of
the console.
FADER
All the way down is off, all the way up is too much signal, and the “0” position is optimum during normal
operation. Depress the L/R select button located next to a channel fader that has an input signal (a tape deck or
CD player is more appropriate than a microphone for initial setup). Then increase the level of the Main Mix L R
faders to the “0” position (no sound will be heard yet). Slowly increase the input channel. Stop increasing when
you have attained the desired level. Slowly repeat this process for the remaining input channel faders that have
signal. Faders for unused input channels should remain all the way down. By positioning each input channel
fader relative to the other input channel faders you are mixing the signals. Most applications require different
levels on each input. Adjust the faders so that the mixed signal sounds good (not so the position of the faders
look good). This would be a good time to go back and check the TRIM settings. Any channels that have the
faders near maximum (above “0”) could probably benefit from having the TRIM control adjusted slightly to
reduce the signal level. Make sure that the PEAK indicator does not illuminate excessively in this new position. If
the fader seems too sensitive and the operating position is near the bottom, try adjusting the TRIM control to
increase the fader’s range of motion. Keep in mind that adjusting the TRIM will affect all (pre and post) send
signals leaving the channel. Adjustments to the fader will only affect Post-fader sends.
Input channel faders determine the level of each input relative to other inputs. The Main Mix L R faders determine
the system level.
Your mixing console is operational at this point. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the basics that you
have just learned or continue reading if you are ready to learn more.
Control Room
This is most useful when the operator cannot hear the output of the mixer such as in a recording or broadcast
MX-1436/1836/2236(EX) 15
MX-1436/1836/2236(EX)_E 56.8.28 10:6 PM 페이지19
application. Use these output connectors to feed powered monitor speakers (or an amplifier and speakers)
positioned near the operator. After making the connections set the levels using the CONTROL ROOM/HEAD
PHONES knob so that the volume from the speakers (or in the headphones) represents the system level. The four
switches below the OUTPUT LEVEL METERS determine the source of the CONTROL ROOM outputs and the
HEAD PHONE jack. The CONTROL ROOM feature normally is not used in a live application where the operator
can hear the main speaker system directly. Headphones may be used in either Live or Recording applications
but are more common in Live.
SOLO/PFL
Depressing this button (located on the channel) sends the channel signal to the CONTROL ROOM and
HEADPHONES outputs as well as the meters without interrupting any other setting or signal path. This is a
convenient way to isolate to a particular input from a mixed signal. More than one input can be in the
SOLO/PFL buss at one time. Remember, having everything in SOLO/PFL defeats the purpose of the SOLO/PFL
feature. The PFL/SOLO button (located near the meters) determines whether the signal is being monitored SOLO
(post-fader) or PFL (pre-fader) through the headphone outputs and “Control Room” outputs.
TAPE IN CONTROL
The TAPE IN input signal is routed directly to the MAIN MIX L R busses and the CONTROL ROOM output
without the option of Equalization, PAN, or routing to an AUX buss. This allows the Stereo and Mono input
channels to be reserved for inputs which can benefit from the features those channels provide.
Equalization
If it is determined that adjustments to an Equalizer are necessary, remember two important items: proper
equalization is achieved with minimal equalization; and it is better to cut than to boost (cut excessive frequencies
rather than boost weak frequencies).
16 MX-1436/1836/2236(EX)
MX-1436/1836/2236(EX)_E 56.8.28 10:6 PM 페이지20
adjustments (if needed). Adjustments made on a stereo input channel will affect both the Left and Right channels
of the source.
AUX buss #1
AUX 1 is one of several busses of the console. The output of this buss can be used for a variety of different
applications including a performer’s stage monitor. This AUX buss is Pre-fader so changes to the main channel
fader position will not affect the level of this AUX.
AUX buss #2
AUX 2 is one of several busses of the console. The output of this buss can be used for a variety of different
applications including sending a signal to special effects devices. This AUX buss is selectable to either Pre-fader
or Post-fader for maximum flexibility. Some performers will object to the subsequent changes in their stage
monitor loudspeaker signal level resulting from a Post-fader signal so the Pre-fader setting is preferred by most
performers.
EFX buss
EFX is actually another AUX buss and is one of several busses of the console. The output of this buss is
particularly suited for use with effects devices. The EFX buss is Post-fader so changes to the main channel fader
position will also affect the level of the EFX output. The EFX output signal will typically leave the console and be
sent an external effects device. The output of the effects device will usually return to the console via on the AUX 1
or AUX 2 RTN (return) or possibly an unused input channel.
Inserts
“Insert” is a term used to describe a method of adding an external electronic device to the system. Inserting
refers to having a signal leave the console to go into the input of an external device, then out of that device and
returning back to the console that it originated from.
Proper use of an insert requires skill. An insert may require special cables and a clear understanding of signal
flow and system design. Using inserts incorrectly will result in the console having no output signal, or perhaps
distortion. If you are not familiar with the use of inserts or find signal flow and system design a little confusing,
you should avoid using Inserts until your system is working correctly. This will make troubleshooting Insert related
problems easier if you are confident that the system worked correctly before the Inserts were connected.
MX-1436/1836/2236(EX) 17
MX-1436/1836/2236(EX)_E 56.8.28 10:6 PM 페이지21
INSERT JACKS use a standard 3-conductor (TRS) 1/4” connector the connector itself is wired in a manner that
only works for use as an INSERT JACK. Cables must either be custom made or purchased especially for this
application. The special cables will be in a “Y” configuration (not all “Y” cables are insert cables) having a total
of three connectors. One connector will be labeled “Insert” and is intended for connection to the INSERT JACK
on the console. Another connector will be labeled “Insert” which will be connected to the input of the external
device. The remaining connector will be labeled “Insert” which will be connected to the output of the external
device. The console and the external device both have level controls that will provide signal level adjustments. It
may take some experimentation to make the adjustments necessary to achieve the desired effect.
Again, it is best to avoid using Inserts until the entire system is properly connected and operating normally.
Glossary
The word “Insert” has several meanings. In one meaning, it refers to the Input Connector (the point where an
external source enters the console). In another meaning it refers the Input Channel, the entire set of controls
affecting the routing, level, and EQ of a single input (or both inputs in the event of a stereo input channel).
The word “Source” refers to the external device (such as a microphone) that provides a signal to the mixing
console input. Items such as microphones, tape decks, electronic instruments, etc. are all potential sources.
Various types of sources (such as Mic level or Line level devices) will have differing electrical characteristics, as
well as different characteristics (such as Mono or Stereo). Consulting the owner’s manual of the device will help
determine each product’s electrical and output characteristics.
The word “Pre” means “before.” In a mixing console, it refers to a signal that is before an action or effect
occurs. For example, Aux 1 is a Pre-fader signal (the AUX 1 signal precedes the input channel fader, so a
change in the channel fader position does not change the signal level from the AUX 1 control). Therefore,
adjustments to a channel fader have no affect on the AUX 1 signal. An EQ can also be “Pre.” If a particular
signal (or output) is Pre-EQ, adjustments to the EQ will have no effect on that signal.
The word “Post” means “after.” In a mixing console, it refers to a signal that follows an action or effect. For
example, the Aux 2 signal is Post-fader (the AUX 2 signal follows the input channel fader, so a change in the
channel fader position changes the signal level from the AUX 2 control). Therefore, adjustments to a channel
fader will adjust the level of the AUX 2 signal.
The word “Buss” refers to the section of the circuit within the console where various source signals combine
together. Aux 1, 2, 3, 4 and Main Left, Right are all busses where various input channel signals will combine
together.
The word “Channel” typically means Input Channel, the entire set of controls affecting the path, level, and EQ of
a single input (or both inputs of a stereo input channel). Channel may also refer to the Left or Right portion (or
channel) of a stereo signal.
