RM5c MixMax 7 ROLLS CORPORATION SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 7/02 OWNERS MANUAL Introduction The MIX MAX 7 is designed to be used as a middle component of a sound system. Such a system might be comprised of sound sources such as microphones , tape deck, tuner or CD player, preamplifier (such as the RM5C), power amplifier (such as the ROLLS RA2110) and speaker system. Features ¨ Three XLR balanced Mic inputs with phantom power. ¨ Bass and treble tone controls. ¨ Stereo effects loop on Mics for sound effects ¨ FX loop may also be used as fourth source input. ¨ 3 Stereo source inputs for tape player, compact disk, radio, etc.. ¨ Master level out for overall volume adjustment. ¨ RCA and 1/4" stereo outputs for amp, tape, monitors, etc.. ¨ Professional design for hard use and/or permanent installations. ¨ Three year limited warranty Applications The ROLLS MIX MAX 7 is intended for mixing up to three microphones with up to three stereo source signals as in aerobics studios, Karoake lounges, or audio visual applications. Its versatile inputs and outputs as well as commercial grade design make it an important problem solver in many audio situations. The FX loop may also be used as a fourth source input, but this may disable the Mics unless the unit is modified. Front panel controls Mic 1 - 3, These are the channel volume controls and adjust the volume sent to the tone controls and FX send SOURCE 1-3 are the level controls for the RCA source inputs on the rear. FX IN OUT switch is for engaging the external sound effects in the FX loop. FX LEVEL sets the level of the FX return jack inputs on the rear. BASS - controls the boost or cut of frequencies below 400 Hz. TREBLE - controls the boost or cut of frequencies above 400 Hz . MASTER VOLUME for adjusting the main stereo output level for the unit. Rear Panel Jacks MIC 1 - 3 - are the inputs for dynamic or phantom power microphones PHANTOM POWER - are the jumpers for turning on the microphone power for the XLR inputs, and are numbered for the channel they are assigned to. FX SEND - is the output to external effects units. FX RETURN R & L - Are the inputs from the external sound effects units, EQ, Etc. SOURCE 1 - 3 are the inputs from tuner, tape, CD player, Etc. LEFT & RIGHT OUT are the main outputs to the power amp, EQ, Etc. Microphone Phantom Power Phantom power is a means of powering condenser microphones through the microphone cable. The RM5C has individually switchable phantom power for each of it's 3 Mic channels through the XLR connectors. Phantom power is turned on and off by using the shorting clips on the header pin strip on the rear of the unit. To enable phantom power connect shorting jumper across pins 1 & 2 for Mic 3, pins 3 & 4 for Mic 2 and pins 5 & 6 for Mic 1. To turn off the phantom power simply insert the jumper so it is verticle on only one pin, this will store the jumper and disconnect phantom power. If phantom power is not needed it should be switched off to avoid damage or degraded sound quality. Installation The MIX MAX 7 will mount in a single space of a standard 19" relay rack or any suitable location. It requires no special ventilation but should be properly grounded and kept dry for safety reasons. The RM5C has plenty of level to drive most any power amplifier, the 1/4" and RCA output jacks are parallelled, if both are used the units they are driving will have to match the same level.
