3.1 Агрегатты кубаттоо

The MX401 can be powered using the included DC power supply or two 9V batteries. Ensure the unit is switched OFF before connecting power.

• DC кубаттуулугу: Connect the included DC power supply to the 'VDC' input jack on the front panel. Plug the power supply into an appropriate AC outlet.
• Батарея кубаттуулугу: Open the battery compartment on the side of the unit and insert two fresh 9V batteries, observing correct polarity. Close the compartment securely.

3.2 Connecting Microphones and Line Inputs

The MX401 features four XLR inputs, each capable of accepting either microphone or line-level signals.

1. Connect your microphones or line-level devices to the XLR INPUTs (CH 1-4) on the rear panel.
2. For each channel, use the MIC / LINE switch to select the appropriate input level:
• Төмөнкүгө коюу MIC for microphones.
• Төмөнкүгө коюу LINE for line-level devices (e.g., keyboards, CD players).
3. If using condenser microphones, activate PHANTOM POWER for the respective channel by pressing the PHANTOM POWER button. The LED will illuminate when active.

3.3 Чыгууларды туташтыруу

The MX401 provides balanced XLR outputs and a 3.5mm stereo output.

• Connect your main audio system (e.g., power amplifier, recording device) to the balanced XLR OUTPUTS (LEFT, RIGHT) арткы панелде.
• For connecting to consumer-grade audio equipment or headphones, use the 3.5mm STEREO OUTPUT алдыңкы панелдеги уяча.

Бардык байланыштар жасалгандан кийин, которуштуруу КҮЧТҮ ӨЧҮРҮҮ toggle on the front panel to the ON position. The 'pwr' LED will illuminate.

4.2 Каналды башкаруу

Each of the four input channels (CH 1-4) has independent controls:

• ДЕҢГЭЭЛ: Adjusts the input gain for the respective channel. Start with this knob fully counter-clockwise and slowly increase it until the desired volume is achieved without clipping.
• ПАН: Controls the stereo positioning of the channel's signal between the Left and Right outputs. Turn clockwise for more Right signal, counter-clockwise for more Left signal, and center for an even spread.
• MIC/LINE которуу: Selects between microphone-level and line-level input sensitivity.
• PHANTOM POWER Button: Activates +48V phantom power for condenser microphones connected to that channel.

4.3 Чыгаруу деңгээлин башкаруу

The master output level is controlled by the OUTPUT LEVEL knob on the front panel. Adjust this to set the overall volume of the mixed signal sent to the outputs.

4.4 Clip Indicator

The КЛИП LED on the front panel illuminates when the input or output signal is too high, indicating potential distortion. If the CLIP LED lights up, reduce the corresponding channel LEVEL or the master OUTPUT LEVEL until the LED no longer illuminates during peak signal levels.

5. Техникалык тейлөө

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Rolls MX401, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Тазалоо: Түзмөктүн сыртын тазалоо үчүн жумшак, кургак чүпүрөктү колдонуңуз. Абразивдүү тазалоочу каражаттарды, эриткичтерди же момдорду колдонуудан алыс болуңуз, анткени алар капталга зыян келтириши мүмкүн.
• Сактагыч: Узак мөөнөткө колдонулбаганда, аралаштыргычты күн тийбеген жана өтө температурадан алыс салкын, кургак жерде сактаңыз.
• Батареяны алмаштыруу: If using battery power, replace batteries when the 'pwr' LED dims or the unit ceases to function. Remove batteries if the unit will not be used for a long time to prevent leakage.
• Вентиляция: Ашыкча ысып кетүүнүн алдын алуу үчүн аппараттын айланасында туура желдетүүнү камсыз кылыңыз. Эч кандай желдетүүчү тешиктерди жаап албаңыз.

6. Кыйынчылыктарды

Эгерде сиз MX401 түзмөгүңүз менен көйгөйлөргө туш болсоңуз, төмөнкү жалпы көйгөйлөрдү чечүү кадамдарын караңыз:

• Кубат жок:
  • Check if the DC power supply is securely connected and plugged into a working outlet.
  • If using batteries, ensure they are fresh and inserted with correct polarity.
  • Verify the POWER ON-OFF switch is in the ON position.
• Үн жок:
