I N S TA L L AT I O N To ensure years of enjoyment from your NADY AUDIO SRM-10X mixing console, please read and understand this manual thoroughly before using the unit. 1.

Before installing and using your unit, carefully examine the packaging and all contents for any signs of physical damage that may have occurred in transit.
CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS 1. MONO INPUT SECTION (1) COMBINED MIC XLR / 1/4” LINE INPUT The Mic input is an electronically balanced XLR type designed to accept signals from any balanced low impedance (Low Z) microphone. To accommodate condenser microphones, this input is also equipped with +48VDC phantom power globally switchable to all XLR input jacks with the Phantom Power switch (33). Dynamic or ribbon-type microphones do not require phantom powering.
CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS The best balance of S/N and dynamic range will be achieved if you adjust the TRIM control on each channel separately so that the Peak Indicator LED (9) for that channel lights occasionally. (7) PRE/POST SWITCH This switch selects whether the AUX SEND signal is Pre or Post Gain control. (Up = Pre, Depressed = Post) (8) PAN CONTROL The Channel Pan positions the output of the channel in the stereo field of the Master Mix.
CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS 2. STEREO INPUT SECTION (12) (25) R LINE INPUT When using channels 3-6 as stereo input channels, the left signal should be connected to the L input and the right signal to the R input. These signals will be routed to the AUX, EQ and Channel Gain controls equally and will retain their stereo separation. The AUX, EQ, BAL, and Channel Gain controls all function the same as those on the mono input channels.
