Operating the MDR6
BASIC OPERATION
The following section explains the basic operation of the MDR6.
CONNECTING MICROPHONES AND
INSTRUMENTS
1. Before connecting mics or instruments, make
sure that the power of all your systems components
including the MDR6 is turned off.
Also, make sure that the Left and Right MIX
faders are turned all the way down.

cable firmly into the appropriate input on the
MDR6.

NOTE: SETTING THE INPUT GAIN - When connecting
a microphone to channels 1 + 2, it’s a
good idea to start with the Gain Control turned
all the way down. Set the input fader to the "0"
position and slowly raise the GAIN control until
you see the CLIP LED turn on. Now, back the
GAIN control down so that the CLIP LED only
lights for a short time during the loudest input
the channel will see.

NOTE: It is important to remember the Golden
Rule of audio … " LAST ON, FIRST OFF".
Translated, this means that when turning on
your system, you should always turn your power

amplifiers or powered monitors on LAST, and when turning your system off, turn your power amps off FIRST. This helps
avoid any loud pops caused by inrush current at power up, which can sometimes damage loudspeakers.
4. Turn on your power amp or powered monitors and raise the level control to the manufacturers’ recommended operating
level.
5. Set the Left and Right MIX faders in the MDR6’s master section to the "0" position.
6. While speaking into the mic (or playing the instrument), adjust the channel Fader control so that the "0" LED of the
MAIN section peak level meter lights occasionally.
7. You can shape the tone of each channel by adjusting the equalizer controls as desired.
