2. OVERVIEW

AlcheMix mixer series has been designed to meet the requests of musicians and en-

tertainment operators who need reliable and professional instruments for live shows,

rehearsal rooms, schools, home recording, etc. The architecture of these 2-Bus mixers

includes 2 subgroups, 2 AUX sends (one with Pre/Post-Fader selection; one Pre-Fader

operation). All channels feature 3-band EQ, MUTE, AFL, Group and main assignments.

A 7-band graphic EQ on the main outputs with precision lters, and a 48 kHz / 24-bit

Digital Eect complete the set of tools of these mixers. The Digital Eect features 16

of the most used presets (Hall-Room-Plate reverb, Delay-Echo, and allow to customize

one parameter through the Tap-Tempo button. The line consists of 4 models: AlcheMix

402FX, 402UFX, 602UFX and 802UFX with 4, 6 and 8 noiseless Mic/Line preamps. The

402-602-802UFX also feature a 2-In/2-Out USB Stereo Sound Card for recording/play-

back on PC/Mac at up to 96kHz/24-bit.

This is a female XLR connector that accepts a

balanced microphone input from any type of

microphone, and other balanced audiol sources.

(2)

These 1/4” jacks share circuitry (but not phantom

power) with the mic preamps, and can be driven

by balanced or unbalanced sources

(3)

The LOW CUT (high pass lter) switch cuts the

low frequencies below 75Hz. It is recommended

to use the LOW CUT on all microphone applica-

tions for the voice.

(4)

GAIN knobs adjust the input sensitivity of the Mic

preamp (-20dB ÷ +20dB) and Line preamp (0dB

÷ +40dB) inputs.

(5) These controls adjust the amount of high fre-

quencies for each channel (12kHz, +/-15dB).

(6) These controls adjust the amount of medium

frequencies for each channel (2.5kHz, +/- 15dB).

(7) These controls adjust the amount of low frequen-

cies for each channel (60Hz, +/-15dB).

(8)

These controls adjust the amount of eect for

each channel to be sent to AUX output or the

internal eect processor.

(9) These controls adjust the level of the channel

signal being fed to the Aux bus

(10)

These controls set the amount of channel signal

sent to the Right and Left output channels,

allowing the signal source to be shifted evenly

throughout the stereo image.

(11) This button is used to mute the channel signal

and it is indicated by the near LED .

(12) This LED Indicates the incoming signal.

(13) These sliders adjust the volume level for each

channel.

(14) This switch is used to route the channel signal to

main (Left/Right) output.

(15) This switch is used to route the channel signal to

(16)

When this button is pressed, the signal is sent

from the input channel to the headset and the

corresponding yellow LED lights up. Since this

signal is pre-fader, it is possible to listen to the

signal with the level totally low before it is ad-

dressed to the MAIN OUT or SUB 1-2 outputs.

(17)

This button is used to select the AUX signal as

pre or post fader. When the button is pressed,

the signal is controlled only by the AUX knob. If

the button is not pressed, the signal is controlled

both by the AUX knob and the AUX slider.

8. COMMON INPUTS/OUTPUTS

As explained in “4. AUDIO CONNECTIONS” on page 10, ALCHEMIX mixers, in addi-

tion to the MONO MIC/LINE and STEREO input channels, feature other common inputs

and outputs. Below is a brief explanation for each of them.

8.1. TAPE IN/OUT

TAPE

L

R

IN OUT

TAPE IN

Use these unbalanced RCA connectors (L/R) to connect

the output of a player, such as an analog tape deck, MP3

player, CD/DVD player or a Personal Computer.

TAPE OUT

Use these unbalanced RCA connectors to send out the

MAIN MIX signal to a recorder, such as an analog tape

deck, hard disk recorder, automatic CD burner or an A/D

converter connected to a Personal Computer.

8.2. AUX RETURN L/R Inputs

AUX RETURN

L/

M

R

Two AUX RETURN inputs are available for outputs of

external eects units and are routed to Main L/R or SUB

1-2 buses. If a mono source is used, plugging into the

Left jack (L/M) only automatically feeds signal to both

Left and Right.

8.3. SENDS FX/AUX Outputs

FX SENDS AUX

FX Send Output

This is an unbalanced output. Normally the FX signal is

sent to the internal eects processor but, when a jack is

inserted into this output connector, the FX signal is sent

to an external eects processor and the internal eects

processor is disconnected.

AUX Send Output

This is an unbalanced output. The audio signal from this

output could be used for a monitor on a stage and also

as input on a external multitrack recorder.

19

ENGLISH

ALCHEMIX SERIES User manual

8.4. FW MUTE Input

FW MUTE

By connecting a standard switch-type pedal to this input,

internal eects can be activated / deactivated. When the

internal eects are deactivated, “- -” will appear on the

mixer display to indicate that the eects processor has

been deactivated via the footswitch.

8.5. MONITOR OUT Outputs

LR

MONITOR OUT

These outputs let you hear the mix of incoming audio

signals on external active speakers

8.6. PHONES Output

PHONES

This output is used to monitor the Main Mix or PFL
