3.1 Napajanje uređaja

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 snaga: Connect the included DC power supply to the 'VDC' input jack on the front panel. Plug the power supply into an appropriate AC outlet.
• Snaga baterije: 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:
• Postavite na MIC for microphones.
• Postavite na LINE for line-level devices (e.g., keyboards, CD players).
3. If using condenser microphones, activate FANTOMSKA SNAGA for the respective channel by pressing the PHANTOM POWER button. The LED will illuminate when active.

3.3 Povezivanje izlaza

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) na zadnjoj ploči.
• For connecting to consumer-grade audio equipment or headphones, use the 3.5mm STEREO OUTPUT priključak na prednjoj ploči.

4. Uputstvo za upotrebu

4.1 Uključivanje/isključivanje napajanja

Nakon što su svi priključci napravljeni, prebacite NAPAJANJE-ISKLJUČENJE toggle on the front panel to the ON position. The 'pwr' LED will illuminate.

4.2 Kontrole kanala

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

• NIVO: 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.
• PAN: 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 prekidač: 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 Kontrola izlaznog nivoa

The master output level is controlled by the IZLAZNI NIVO 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 CLIP 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. Održavanje

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

• čišćenje: Za čišćenje vanjske strane uređaja koristite meku, suhu krpu. Izbjegavajte upotrebu abrazivnih sredstava za čišćenje, rastvarača ili voskova, jer oni mogu oštetiti završnu obradu.
• Skladištenje: Kada se mikser ne koristi duži period, čuvajte ga na hladnom i suhom mjestu, dalje od direktne sunčeve svjetlosti i ekstremnih temperatura.
• Zamjena baterije: 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.
• ventilacija: Osigurajte odgovarajuću ventilaciju oko uređaja kako biste spriječili pregrijavanje. Ne blokirajte ventilacijske otvore.

6. Otkrivanje problema

If you encounter issues with your MX401, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Nema napajanja:
  • 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.
• Nema zvuka:
  • Confirm all input and output cables are securely connected.
  • Check that the input device is powered on and sending a signal.
  • Ensure channel LEVEL knobs and the master OUTPUT LEVEL knob are turned up.
  • Verify the MIC/LINE switches are set correctly for your input devices.
  • If using condenser microphones, ensure PHANTOM POWER is activated for the respective channels.
  • Check the volume and input selection on your connected audio system.
• Izobličen zvuk / Isecanje zvuka:
  • If the CLIP LED illuminates, reduce the corresponding channel LEVEL or the master OUTPUT LEVEL until it no longer lights up.
  • Ensure the MIC/LINE switches are correctly set. Using MIC setting for a line-level device can cause distortion.
• Brujanje ili šum:
  • Provjerite da li su svi kablovi u dobrom stanju i pravilno zaštićeni.
  • Try using balanced XLR cables for inputs and outputs to minimize noise.
  • Avoid running audio cables parallel to power cables.
