NOTE If you are using condenser microphones, turn on (O ) the [PHANTOM +48V] switch.

Turn on the power to connected devices in the following order:

(microphone), (instrument), (audio device)

[ ] (switch on unit) (speakers)

NOTICE

Follow this order to avoid any loud, unexpected noise from the speakers. Reverse the order when

turning the power off.

Set the [STEREO LEVEL] knob to the “3” position.

For channels to which a microphone is connected, set the [GAIN] knob to

roughly the 12 o’clock position.

While playing your instrument or speaking into the microphone, turn the

[LEVEL] knob to adjust the volume of the corresponding channel.

If necessary, adjust the volume of the speaker or power amp.

If you hear the sound and the volume seems appropriate, setup is complete. If not,

please go to step 10 below.

NOTICE

To avoid any loud noise from the speaker, ﬁrst turn off the power of the speaker (speaker amp), then

the unit itself, and ﬁnally the connected sound source such as an instrument.

If the sound is not heard, or if you want to adjust the volume, follow the

instructions in the boxed section below.

If you still do not hear the sound after doing the following steps, please refer to the

checklist in the “Troubleshooting” section at the back of this booklet.

Turning the switch on (O) will apply a high-pass ﬁlter that

attenuates frequencies below 80Hz. When speaking into the

microphone, you may want to turn this switch on (O), in order

to reduce unwanted vibration and wind sound received by the

microphone.

band) and [LOW] (low frequency band) knobs. If you do not

need to adjust the sound quality, set the knob to the “6” (ﬂat)

position.

) [FX] switches (MG06X)

Toggle the FX (effect) of channels 1/L and/or 2/R on and off.

! [N MONO/O STEREO] switch

(N) [MONO]: Sound input to channels 1/L or 2/R can be

heard from both the right and left speakers. If you use the 1/L

or 2/R individually, set the switch to this setting.

(O ) [STEREO]: Sound input to channel 1/L can be heard from

only the left speaker, and that input to channel 2/R can be

heard from only the right speaker.

Applying Effects (MG06X)

The MG06X features built-in effects (Reverb and Delay) processors that are in the same

league as our famed SPX effect processor series. Those effects let you simulate the

acoustics of different performance environments, such as concert halls and small clubs,

and add warm, natural ambience to your vocals or instrument performance.

Use the [REVERBN /O DELAY] switch to select Reverb (N) or Delay (O ).

Type Description

REVERB HALL Reverb simulating a large space such as a concert hall.

ROOM Reverb simulating the acoustics of a small space (room).

PLATE Reverb simulating a metal-plate, producing a more hard-edged sound.

DELAY SHORT Short echo with a “doubled” sound.

LONG Long, resonant echo with an extended decay.

VO.ECHO Echo suitable for vocals.

Move the effect select slide switch up and down to select the effect type.

The LED of the selected effect lights.

Turn on (O) the [FX] switch of the channel (1/L or 2/R) to which you want to

apply the effect.

Turn the [FX RTN LEVEL] knob to adjust the effect amount.
