Sikkerhedsoplysninger

• Strømforsyning: Brug kun den angivne strømadapter. Sørg for, at lydstyrkentage matches your local power supply. Disconnect power before cleaning or servicing.
• Ventilation: Bloker ikke ventilationsåbningerne. Sørg for tilstrækkelig luftgennemstrømning omkring enheden for at forhindre overophedning.
• Fugtighed: Do not expose the unit to rain, moisture, or excessive humidity. Keep liquids away from the mixer.
• Placering: Place the mixer on a stable, flat surface. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
• Service: Forsøg ikke selv at udføre service på enheden. Overlad al service til kvalificeret personale.
• Høreværn: Prolonged exposure to high volume levels can cause permanent hearing damage. Use caution when setting output levels.

Opsætning

Follow these steps to set up your RCF F-10XR mixer:

1. Udpakning: Carefully remove the mixer from its packaging and inspect it for any signs of damage.
2. Strømtilslutning: Connect the provided power adapter to the mixer's power input and then to a suitable electrical outlet. Ensure the mixer's power switch is in the OFF position before connecting.
3. Indgangsforbindelser:
   • Mikrofoner: Connect microphones to the XLR (MIC IN) inputs on channels 1-4. For condenser microphones requiring phantom power, ensure the +48V switch is engaged (see Operating Instructions).
   • Linjeniveau-enheder: Connect instruments or other line-level devices to the 1/4" TRS (LINE IN) inputs on channels 1-4, or to the stereo 1/4" TRS (MONO/STEREO) inputs on channels 5/6, 7/8, and 9/10. Channels 7/8 and 9/10 also feature RCA inputs for stereo line-level sources.
4. Udgangsforbindelser:
   • Hovedudgange: Connect your main PA system or recording interface to the MAIN OUTPUT R and L XLR or 1/4" TRS jacks.
   • Control Room: Connect studio monitors to the CTRL ROOM OUTPUT 1/4" TRS jacks.
   • Hovedtelefoner: Connect headphones to the PHONES OUTPUT 1/4" TRS jack.
   • AUX udgang: Use the AUX OUTPUT 1/4" TRS jack for sending a monitor mix or external effects.
5. USB-forbindelse: For stereo recording and playback, connect a USB cable from the mixer's USB port to your computer or compatible iOS device (with appropriate adapter).

The image clearly shows the MIC IN, LINE IN, STEREO LINE INPUTs, MAIN OUTPUT, CTRL ROOM OUTPUT, PHONES OUTPUT, and AUX OUTPUT sections, as well as the individual channel strips with GAIN, EQ, AUX/FX, PAN/BAL, and LEVEL controls. The PRO DSP FX section and the main mix fader are also visible.

Betjeningsvejledning

Input Channels (1-4)

• MIC IN / LINE IN: XLR inputs for microphones and 1/4" TRS inputs for line-level signals.
• GEVINST: Adjusts the input sensitivity for the connected microphone or line source. Set this to achieve a healthy signal level without clipping (indicated by the PEAK LED).
• COMP (Channels 1 & 2 only): Single-knob compressor for dynamic range control. Turn clockwise to increase compression.
• EQ (høj, mellem, lav): 3-band equalizer for shaping the tone of the input signal.
  • EQ HIGH (10 kHz): Adjusts treble frequencies.
  • EQ MID (1250 Hz): Adjusts mid-range frequencies.
  • EQ LOW (100 Hz): Adjusts bass frequencies.
• AUX/FX POST: Sends a portion of the channel signal to the internal effects processor or external AUX output. This is a post-fader send, meaning its level is affected by the channel fader.
• PANDE: Adjusts the stereo position of the channel signal in the main mix (left to right).
• NIVEAU: The main fader for controlling the output level of the individual channel to the main mix.
• PEAK LED: Illuminates when the input signal is too high, indicating potential clipping. Reduce the GAIN control if this LED lights up frequently.

Stereo Channels (5/6, 7/8, 9/10)

• STEREO INPUT: 1/4" TRS inputs for channels 5/6, 7/8, 9/10. Channels 7/8 and 9/10 also include RCA inputs.
• GEVINST: Adjusts the input sensitivity for the stereo line source.
• EQ (High, Low): 2-band equalizer for shaping the tone of the stereo input signal.
• AUX/FX POST: Sends a portion of the channel signal to the internal effects processor or external AUX output.
• BAL (balance): Adjusts the balance between the left and right signals of the stereo channel.
• NIVEAU: The main fader for controlling the output level of the stereo channel to the main mix.
• PEAK LED: Illuminates when the input signal is too high.

Phantom Power (+48V)

The F-10XR provides +48V phantom power for condenser microphones on channels 1-4. Engage the PHANTOM POWER +48V CH1/4 switch to activate. Ensure all condenser microphones are connected before engaging phantom power, and disconnect them after disengaging to prevent damage.

PRO DSP FX (Internal Effects)

The mixer includes a 24-bit internal effects processor with 16 studio-quality presets. To use the effects:

1. Vælg effekt: Drej på ROTATE TO SEL knob to choose one of the 16 effects. The selected effect number will be displayed.

   PRO DSP FX Presets

   Ingen.	Effekt	Ingen.	Effekt
   01	Lille Hall	09	Analog forsinkelse
   02	Stor Sal	10	Kor verbum
   03	Lille værelse	11	Stereo Chorus
   04	Lyst værelse	12	Flanger
   05	Tyndplade	13	Phaser
   06	Plade	14	Gated rumklang
   07	Forårets rumklang	15	Flanger Verb
   08	Multitap Delay	16	Vokal ekko

2. Apply Effect: Brug AUX/FX POST knobs on individual channels to send signal to the effects processor.
3. FX MASTER: Styrer det overordnede niveau af de effekter, der sendes til hovedmixet.
4. FX RETURN: Controls the level of the processed effect signal returning to the main mix.
5. FX MUTE: Dæmper effektoutputtet.

USB-optagelse og afspilning

The F-10XR features a built-in USB audio interface for stereo recording and playback with a computer or compatible iOS device.

• Indspilning: Connect the mixer to your computer via USB. The mixer will appear as an audio input device. Select it in your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software to record the stereo main mix.
• Afspilning: Audio played from your computer can be routed back to the mixer via USB. The IN USB IN 9/10 switch routes the USB playback to stereo channel 9/10, allowing you to mix it with other inputs.

Udgangssektion

• MAIN MIX: The master fader controls the overall output level of the main stereo mix.
• OUTPUT LEVEL Meter: LED meters display the output level of the main mix. Aim for levels that are strong but do not consistently peak into the red.
• KONTROL RUM NIVEAU: Adjusts the volume for the Control Room outputs.
• TELEFONNIVEAU: Adjusts the volume for the Headphones output.
• FODSKIFTE: Input for an optional footswitch to control certain functions (e.g., FX Mute).

Opretholdelse

• Rensning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the mixer's surface. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or waxes.
• Støv: Regularly remove dust from the ventilation openings using a soft brush or compressed air.
• Knobs and Faders: Avoid applying excessive force to knobs and faders. If they become stiff or noisy, consult a qualified technician.
• Opbevaring: Når mixeren ikke er i brug i længere perioder, skal den opbevares køligt og tørt, væk fra direkte sollys og ekstreme temperaturer.
