Making the Most of Your Mixer
You’ve got yourself a mixer and now you’re ready to use it.
Just plug everything in, twiddle the controls, and away you go … right?
Well, if you’ve done this before you won’t have any problems, but if this is the first time you’ve
ever used a mixer you might want to read through this little tutorial and pick up a few basics
that will help you get better performance and make better mixes.
Balanced, Unbalanced—What’s the Difference?
In a word: “noise.” The whole point of balanced lines is noise rejection, and it’s something they’re very good at.
Any length of wire will act as an antenna to pick up the random electromagnetic radiation we’re constantly sur-
rounded by: radio and TV signals as well as spurious electromagnetic noise generated by power lines, motors,
electric appliances, computer monitors, and a variety of other sources. The longer the wire, the more noise it is
likely to pick up. That’s why balanced lines are the best choice for long cable runs. If your “studio” is basically con-
fined to your desktop and all connections are no more than a meter or two in length, then unbalanced lines are
fine—unless you’re surrounded by extremely high levels of electromagnetic noise. Another place balanced lines
are almost always used is in microphone cables. The reason for this is that the output signal from most micro-
phones is very small, so even a tiny amount of noise will be relatively large, and will be amplified to an alarming
degree in the mixer’s high-gain head amplifier.
Signal Levels and the Decibel
Let’s take a look at one of the most commonly used units in
audio: the decibel (dB). If the smallest sound that can be
heard by the human ear is given an arbitrary value of 1, then
the loudest sound that can be heard is approximately
1,000,000 (one million) times louder. That’s too many digits
to deal with for practical calculations, and so the more appro-
priate “decibel” (dB) unit was created for sound-related mea-
surements. In this system the difference between the softest
and loudest sounds that can be heard is 120 dB. This is a
non-linear scale, and a difference of 3 dB actually results in a
doubling or halving of the loudness.
You might encounter a number of different varieties of the
dB: dBu, dBV, dBM and others, but the dBu is the basic deci-
bel unit. In the case of dBu, “0 dBu” is specified as a signal
level of 0.775 volts. For example, if a microphone’s output
level is -40 dBu (0.00775 V), then to raise that level to 0 dBu
(0.775 V) in the mixer’s preamp stage requires that the signal
be amplified by 100 times.
A mixer may be required to handle signals at a wide range of
levels, and it is necessary match input and output levels as closely as possible. In most cases the “nominal” level
for a mixer’s input and outputs is marked on the panel or listed in the owner’s manual.

The inputs and outputs on
home-use audio gear usually
have a nominal level of –7.8 dBu
(–10 dBV).
Most professional mixers,
power amplifiers, and other
types of equipment have inputs
and outputs with a nominal level
of +4 dBu.
Microphone signal levels vary
over a wide range depending on
the type of microphone and the
source. Average speech is
about –30 dBu, but the twitter-
ing of a bird might be lower than
–50 dBu while a solid bass
drum beat might produce a level
as high as 0 dBu.

To EQ or Not to EQ
In general: less is better. There are many situations in which you’ll need to cut certain frequency ranges, but use
boost sparingly, and with caution. Proper use of EQ can eliminate interference between instruments in a mix and
give the overall sound better definition. Bad EQ—and most commonly bad boost—just sounds terrible.
Cut for a Cleaner Mix
For example: cymbals have a lot of energy in the mid and
low frequency ranges that you don’t really perceive as
musical sound, but which can interfere with the clarity of
other instruments in these ranges. You can basically turn
the low EQ on cymbal channels all the way down without
changing the way they sound in the mix. You’ll hear the dif-
ference, however, in the way the mix sounds more “spa-
cious,” and instruments in the lower ranges will have better
definition. Surprisingly enough, piano also has an incredi-
bly powerful low end that can benefit from a bit of low-fre-
quency roll-off to let other instruments—notably drums and
bass—do their jobs more effectively. Naturally you won’t
want to do this if the piano is playing solo.
The reverse applies to kick drums and bass guitars: you
can often roll off the high end to create more space in the
mix without compromising the character of the instruments.
You’ll have to use your ears, though, because each instru-
ment is different and sometimes you’ll want the “snap” of a
bass guitar, for example, to come through.
Boost with Caution
If you’re trying to create special or unusual effects,
go ahead and boost away as much as you like.
But if you’re just trying to achieve a good-sounding
mix, boost only in very small increments. A tiny
boost in the midrange can give vocals more pres-
ence, or a touch of high boost can give certain
instruments more “air.” Listen, and if things don’t
sound clear and clean try using cut to remove fre-
quencies that are cluttering up the mix rather than
trying to boost the mix into clarity.
One of the biggest problems with too much boost
is that it adds gain to the signal, increasing noise
and potentially overloading the subsequent cir-
cuitry.
Some Frequency Facts
The lowest and highest frequencies than can be heard by the human ear are generally considered to be around 20 Hz
and 20,000 Hz, respectively. Average conversation occurs in the range from about 300 Hz to about 3,000 Hz. The fre-
quency of a standard pitchfork used to tune guitars and other instruments is 440 Hz (this corresponds to the “A3” key
on a piano tuned to concert pitch). Double this frequency to 880 Hz and you have a pitch one octave higher (i.e. “A4”
on the piano keyboard). In the same way you can halve the frequency to 220 Hz to produce “A2” an octave lower.

Ambience
Your mixes can be further refined by adding ambi-
ence effects such as reverb or delay. The MG166CX’s
internal effects can be used to add reverb or delay to
individual channels in the same way as external
effects processors. (Refer to page 15).
Reverb and Delay Time
The optimum reverb time for a piece of music will
depend on the music’s tempo and density, but as a
general rule longer reverb times are good for ballads,
while shorter reverb times are more suited to up-
tempo tunes. Delay times can be adjusted to create a
wide variety of “grooves”. When adding delay to a
vocal, for example, try setting the delay time to dotted
eighth notes corresponding to the tune’s tempo.
Reverb Tone
Different reverb programs will have different “reverb
tone” due to differences in the reverb time of the high
or low frequencies. Too much reverb, particularly in
the high frequencies, can result in unnatural sound
and interfere with the high frequencies in other parts
of the mix. It’s always a good idea to choose a reverb
program that gives you the depth you want without
detracting from the clarity of the mix.
Reverb Level
It’s amazing how quickly your ears can lose perspec-
tive and fool you into believing that a totally washed-
out mix sounds perfectly fine. To avoid falling into this
trap start with reverb level all the way down, then
gradually bring the reverb into the mix until you can
just hear the difference. Any more than this normally
becomes a “special effect.”
The Modulation Effects:
Phasing, Chorus, and Flanging
All of these effects work on basically the same princi-
ple: a portion of the audio signal is “time-shifted” and
then mixed back with the direct signal. The amount of
time shift is controlled, or “modulated”, by an LFO
(Low-frequency Oscillator).
For phasing effects the shift is very small. The phase
difference between the modulated and direct signals
causes cancellation at some frequencies and rein-
forces the signal at others and this causes the shim-
mering sound we hear.
For chorus and flanging the signal is delayed by sev-
eral milliseconds, with the delay time modulated by
an LFO, and recombined with the direct signal. In
addition to the phasing effect described above, the
delay modulation causes a perceived pitch shift
which, when mixed with the direct signal, results in a
harmonically rich swirling or swishing sound.
The difference between chorus and flanging effects is
primarily in the amount of delay time and feedback
used—flanging uses longer delay times than chorus,
whereas chorus generally uses a more complex
delay structure. Chorus is most often used to thicken
the sound of an instrument, while flanging is usually
used as an outright “special effect” to produce other-
worldly sonic swoops.
Compression
One form of compression known as “limiting” can,
when properly used, produce a smooth, unified
sound with no excessive peaks or distortion. A com-
mon example of the use of compression is to “tame” a
vocal that has a wide dynamic range in order to
tighten up the mix. With the right amount of compres-
sion you’ll be able to clearly hear whispered pas-
sages while passionate shouts are still well balanced
in the mix. Compression can also be valuable on
bass guitar. Too much compression can be a cause of
feedback, however, so use it sparingly.
Most compressors require several critical parameters
to be set properly to achieve the desired sound. The
MG compressor makes achieving great sound much
easier: all you need to do is set a single “compres-
sion” control and all of the pertinent parameters are
automatically adjusted for you.

1 MIC Input jacks
These are balanced XLR-type microphone input jacks. (1:
Ground; 2: Hot; 3: Cold)
2 LINE Input Jacks (monaural channels)
These are balanced TRS phone-jack line inputs. (T: Hot; R:
Cold; S: Ground). You can connect either balanced or unbal-
anced phone plugs to these jacks.
3 LINE Input Jacks (stereo channels)
These are unbalanced phone-jack stereo line inputs.
4 LINE Input Jacks (stereo channels)
These are unbalanced stereo RCA pin jacks.
On channels that provide multiple input jack options
only one type of jack can be used at a time.
5 INSERT Jacks
These jacks can be used to insert an external signal-process-
ing device between the equalizer and fader of the corre-
sponding monaural input channel. The INSERT jacks are
ideal for connecting devices such as graphic equalizers,
compressors, or noise filters into the corresponding chan-
nels.
These are TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) phone jacks that
carry both the send and return signal (tip = send/out;
ring = return/in; sleeve = ground). Patching external
devices via an INSERT jack requires a special cable
such as illustrated below (insert cable sold sepa-
rately).
The signal output from the INSERT jacks is
reverse-phased. This should not be a problem
when connecting to an effect unit, but please be
aware of the possibility of phase conflict when
connecting to other types of device. A reversed-
phased signal may result in degraded sound
quality or even complete sound cancellation.
6 GAIN Control
Adjusts the input signal level. To get the best balance
between the S/N ratio and the dynamic range, adjust the gain
so that the PEAK indicator
9 lights only occasionally and
briefly on the highest input transients. The -60 to -16 scale is
the MIC input adjustment range. The -34 to +10 scale is the
LINE input adjustment range.
7 Switch (High-Pass Filter)
This switch toggles the HPF on or off. To turn the HPF on,
press the switch in ( ). The HPF cuts frequencies below
80 Hz (the HPF does not apply to the line inputs of stereo
input channels
3, 4).
8 COMP Control
Adjusts the amount of compression applied to the channel.
As the knob is turned to the right the compression ratio
increases while the output gain is automatically adjusted
accordingly. The result is smoother, more even dynamics
because louder signals are attenuated while the overall level
is boosted.
Avoid setting the compression too high, as the higher
average output level that results may lead to feed-
back.
9 PEAK indicator
The peak level of the post-EQ signal is detected, and the
PEAK indicator lights red when the level reaches 3 dB
below clipping.
For XLR-equipped stereo input channels, both the post-EQ
and post-mic-amp peak levels are detected, and the indicator
lights red if either of these levels reaches 3 dB below clip-
ping.
0 Equalizer (HIGH, MID and LOW)
This three-band equalizer adjusts the channel’s high, mid,
and low frequency bands. Setting the knob to the “▼” posi-
tion produces a flat response in the corresponding band.
Turning the knob to the right boosts the corresponding fre-
quency band, while turning to the left attenuates the band.
The monaural channels have MID frequency controls to
adjust the midrange frequency band.
The following table shows the EQ type, frequency, and max-
imum cut/boost for each of the three bands.
* The monaural channel MID frequency can be adjusted from
250 Hz to 5 kHz. The MID frequency is 2.5 kHz when the
MID frequency control is set at the center position.

A AUX, EFFECT Control
Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the channel to the
AUX and EFFECT buses. These knobs should generally be
set close to the “▼” position. These controls send either the
signal from immediately prior to the channel fader (pre-fader
signal) or the signal after the channel fader (post-fader sig-
nal) to the corresponding buses. The types of signals sent by
the AUX and EFFECT controls on each mixer model are as
follows:
• MG206C
AUX1: Pre-fader
AUX2, 3: Pre-fader/post-fader (determined by the AUX
PRE switch
B)
AUX4: Post-fader
• MG166CX
AUX1: Pre-fader
AUX2: Pre-fader/post-fader (determined by the AUX
PRE switch
B)
EFFECT: Post-fader
• MG166C
AUX1: Pre-fader
AUX2: Pre-fader/post-fader (determines by the AUX
PRE switch
B)
AUX3: Post-fader
•To send the signal to the STEREO bus engage the
ON switch ( ).
• On stereo channels, the L (odd) and R (even) input
signals are mixed and sent to the AUX and
EFFECT buses.
B AUX PRE Switch
Selects whether the pre-fader or the post-fader signal is fed
to the AUX buses. If the switch is on ( ), the mixer sends
the pre-fader signal to the AUX buses, so that AUX outputs
are not affected by the channel fader
I. If the switch is off
() the mixer sends the post-fader signal to the AUX
buses.
C PAN Control
PAN/BAL Control
BAL Control
The PAN control determines the stereo positioning of the
channel signal on the GROUP 1/2 and GROUP 3/4 buses or
on the STEREO L/R bus. The BAL control knob sets the
balance between left and right channels. Signals input to the
L input (odd channel) go to the GROUP 1 or 3 buses or to
the STEREO L bus; signals input to the R input (even chan-
nel) go to the GROUP 2 or 4 buses or the STEREO R bus.
On channels where this knob provides both PAN and
BAL control, the knob operates as a PAN control
when input is received via the MIC jack or L (MONO)
input only, and as a BAL control when input is
received via both L and R inputs.
D ON Switch
Turn this switch on to send the signal to the buses. The
switch lights orange when on.
E PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) Switch
This switch lets you monitor the channel’s pre-fader signal.
Press the switch in ( ) so that it lights to turn it on. When
the switch is on the channel pre-fader signal is output to the
PHONES and MONITOR OUT jacks for monitoring.
F 1-2 Switch
This switch assigns the channel’s signal to the GROUP 1/2
bus.
To send the signal to the GROUP 1/2 bus turn the
ON switch on ( ).
G 3-4 Switch
This switch assigns the channel’s signal to the GROUP 3/4
bus.
To send the signal to the GROUP 3/4 bus turn the
ON switch on ( ).
H ST Switch
This switch assigns the channel’s signal to the STEREO L/R
bus.
To send the signal to the STEREO bus turn the ON
switch on ( ).
I Channel Fader
Adjusts the level of the channel signal. Use these faders to
adjust the balance between the various channels.
Set the fader sliders for unused channels all the way
down to minimize noise.

1 SEND Jacks (AUX, EFFECT)
These impedance balanced* TRS phone jacks output the sig-
nals from the AUX/EFFECT buses. The pre-fader send option
should be selected if you are connecting to a monitor system,
while the post-fader send option is the best choice when con-
necting to external signal processors (e.g. effects units).
See “AUX, EFFECT Control” on page 14 for information on
the types of signals sent by the AUX and EFFECT controls
on each mixer model.
2 GROUP OUT (1 to 4) Jacks
These impedance-balanced* TRS phone jacks output the
GROUP 1/2 and 3/4 signals. Use these jacks to connect to
the input jacks of an multi-track recorder, external mixer, or
other such device.
3 REC OUT (L, R) Jacks
These RCA pin jacks can be connected to an external
recorder such as an MD recorder in order to record the same
signal that is being output via the STEREO OUT jacks.
The mixer’s STEREO OUT Master fader has no
affect on the signal output via these jacks.
Be sure to make appropriate level adjustments at the
recording device.
4 2TR IN Jacks
These RCA pin jacks input a stereo sound source.
Use these jacks when you want to connect a CD player
directly to the mixer.
Select where you want to send the signal using the
2TR IN switch, and adjust the signal level using the
2TR IN control in the Master Control section.
5 RETURN L (MONO), R Jacks
These are unbalanced phone-jack type line inputs.
The signal received by these jacks can be sent to the STE-
REO L/R bus as well as the AUX1 and AUX2 buses. When a
stereo signal is returned a mono mix of the signal is sent to
the AUX1 and AUX2 buses. These jacks are typically used to
receive the signal returned from an external effect device
(reverb, delay, etc.).
• These jacks can also be used as an auxiliary ste-
reo input.
• If you connect to the L (MONO) jack only, the mixer
will recognize the signal as monaural and will send
the identical signal to both the L and R jacks.
6 STEREO OUT (L, R) Jacks
These jacks deliver the mixer’s stereo output. You use these
jacks, for example, to connect to the power amplifier driving
your main speakers. You can also connect these jacks to a
recording device when you wish to record mixer’s stereo
output while using the STEREO OUT Master fader
I for
level control.
• XLR jacks
XLR-type balanced output jacks.
• LINE jacks
TRS phone-type balanced output jacks.
7 MONITOR OUT jacks
These are impedance-balanced* TRS phone-type output
jacks.
The signal output by these jacks is determined by the
MONITOR switch, the 2TR IN switch, and the PFL
switches on the input channels.
8 PHONES Jack
Connect a pair of headphones to this TRS phone-type output
jack. The PHONES jack outputs the same signal as the
MONITOR OUT jacks.
9 PHANTOM +48 V Switch
This switch toggles phantom power on and off. When the
switch is on the mixer supplies +48V phantom power to all
channels that have XLR mic input jacks. Turn this switch on
when using one or more phantom-powered condenser micro-
phones.
When this switch is on the mixer supplies DC +48 V
power to pins 2 and 3 of all XLR-type MIC INPUT
jacks.
• Be sure to leave this switch off if you do not
need phantom power.
• When turning the switch on, be sure that only
condenser microphones are connected to the
XLR input jacks. Devices other than condenser
mics may be damaged if connected to the
phantom power supply. Note, however, that the
switch may be left on when connecting to bal-
anced dynamic microphones.
•To prevent damage to speakers, be sure to turn
off power amplifiers (or powered speakers)
before turning this switch on or off. We also
recommend that you turn all output controls
(STEREO OUT Master fader, GROUP 1-2 fader,
GROUP 3-4 fader, etc.) to their minimum set-
tings before operating the switch to avoid the
risk of loud noises that could cause hearing
loss or device damage.
0 POWER Indicator
This indicator lights when the mixer’s power is ON.
A Level Meter
This LED meter displays the level of the signal selected by
the MONITOR switch
D, 2TR IN switch E and PFL
switch. The “0” segment corresponds to the nominal output
level. The PEAK indicator lights red when the output
reaches the clipping level.
B RETURN
•AUX1, AUX2 Control
Adjusts the level at which the L/R signal received at the
RETURN jacks (L (MONO) and R) is sent to the AUX1 and
AUX2 buses.
• STEREO Control
Adjusts the level at which the signal received at the RETURN
jacks (L (MONO) and R) is sent to the STEREO L/R bus.
• If you supply a signal to the RETURN L (MONO)
jack only, the mixer sends the same signal to both
the L and R STEREO buses.
• (MG206C) Signals input via the RETURN1 jacks
are adjusted using the RETURN1 AUX1, AUX2 and
the STEREO controls, and signals input via the
RETURN2 jacks are adjusted using the RETURN2
AUX1, AUX2 and the STEREO controls.

• MONITOR Control
Controls the level of the signal output to the PHONES jack
and the MONITOR OUT jacks.
E 2TR IN
• 2TR IN Switch
If this switch is set to TO MONITOR ( ), the signals input
via the 2TR IN jacks are sent to the MONITOR OUT jacks,
the PHONES jack, and the level meter. If it is set to TO STE-
REO ( ), the signals are sent to the STEREO L/R bus.
• 2TR IN Control
Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the 2TR IN jacks.
The following illustration shows how the switch settings cor-
respond to the signal selection.
*: When overdubbing, you can adjust the levels of the mon-
itor playback signal and the signal being recorded separately.
