List of effects Power Cmp1

This controls a COSM effect that simulates a vacuum tube amp, and a compressor. It boosts thin sounds that are lacking in low range, giving them greater weight and power.

Power Cmp2
This controls a COSM effect that simulates a vacuum tube amp, and a compressor. It boosts the mid-range, creating a fat-sounding vocal.

Power Cmp3
This controls a COSM effect that simulates a vacuum tube amp, and a compressor. It boosts the high range. This is ideal for delicate acoustic guitar sounds. This is also a way to obtain greater clarity for sounds that tend to be buried by other loud sounds around them. Parameter Range Explanation Cuts the noise that occurs at low volumes in the background of the voice. With higher values for this setting, louder noises will be cut. * If you apply this too strongly, the beginning (attack) and end (decay) of the voice may be cut off unnaturally, or the voice may be less intelligible. (Power Cmp1) BASS (Power Cmp2) TONE (Power Cmp3) BRIGHT 0100 0100 0100 Mainly adjusts the loudness of the low-frequency range. Raising this setting will boost the low-frequency range. Mainly adjusts the loudness of the mid-frequency range. Raising this setting will boost the mid-frequency range. Mainly adjusts the loudness of the high-frequency range. Raising this setting will boost the high-frequency range. This is a COSM effect that simulates a vacuum tube amp. It produces the natural-sounding distortion typical of a vacuum tube. Raising this setting will increase the distortion. * Since this models the subtle characteristics of a vacuum tube amp, it may be difficult to notice the result in some cases. Lowers the threshold of the compressor (i.e., the volume level at which the compressor begins to operate), and simultaneously raises the volume. The result is to even out the volume levels of the loud and soft sounds, raising the overall loudness. Raising this setting will increase the level. Unlike simply raising the volume, this produces a thicker and heavier sound. The compressor threshold is common to channels 1 and 2. This means that you can use COMP either in stereo for channels 1 and 2, or for just one or the other channel. * You should be careful not to over-apply effects. Doing so may increase noise, or cause the sound to be muffled when loud sounds are excessively suppressed.

Adjusting the output signal appropriately for your environment (Room Acoustic Control)
Room acoustics refers to the overall acoustical characteristics of the environment in which youre reproducing sound, including the response of the speakers youre using. The M-10DX provides a Room Acoustic Auto Control function, which automatically compensates for the acoustics of a room. At the touch of a single button, this function performs the following operations: (1) Outputs a test signal from the M-10DX, and plays this signal through the connected monitors. (2) Detects the sound played by the monitors with the Room Acoustic Sensor, and analyzes its frequency response. (3) Based on the results of the analysis, automatically adjusts the response of the output signal. The results of this automatic adjustment can be further edited manually if you wish.

Depending on the environment in which you are located, the automatic adjustment may not be enough to provide the optimal response. In this case, you can perform manual adjustments in conjunction with the automatic adjustment. You can use a mic connected to channel 1 as the room acoustics sensor. Selecting the Room Acoustic Sensor (RAC Source) (p. 38) You can specify the upper and lower limits of the frequencies that will be automatically adjusted.

In order to obtain the best possible results from this function, please observe the following points.
fig.RAC_Caution-e

Place your equipment so that the room acoustic sensor or mic (if the RAC Source (p. 38) is set to CH1) is at the listening point. Place your equipment so that the left and right monitors (speakers) are the same distance to the sensor/mic. To the extent possible, place the sensor/mic at the height of your ears at the listening point. Do not place obstructions near the sensor/mic. While the adjustments are being performed, do not place the M-10DX or mic on an object that could resonate easily (such as a hollow box or stand).

Same distance

* Such an object could resonate with the test signal, causing slight vibrations that might interfere with accurate measurement.

With monitors (speakers) that have a low output level, the test signal may not be detected, and the analysis may fail to start. In this case we recommend that you perform the analysis manually (p. 33).

List of effects Natural

This effect adds a natural finish that does not impair the original character of the sound. Parameter CROSS Range 10.014k (Hz) Explanation Specifies the frequency at which the low and high ranges will be divided. Lowers the threshold of the multi-band compressor (the volume at which the compressor begins to apply), and simultaneously raises the volume. The result is that the level differences between high volume and low volume will be smoothed out, making the overall volume more consistent and raising the overall loudness. Increasing this value will intensify the result. Unlike simply raising the volume, this produces a thicker and denser sound. Controls the enhancer to specify the degree to which the sound is clarified. Higher settings will produce a stronger effect. * If you excessively apply this to a sound that is already clear, it will make the sound unpleasant or distorted.

Troubleshooting
If you experience problems, read this chapter first/ It contains tips for solving most problems.

Power does not turn on (when using the AC adaptor) Is the AC adaptor connected correctly?
Check the connections, and make sure that the AC adaptor plug is inserted firmly into the DC IN jack.

Power does not turn on (when using batteries) Are the batteries installed correctly?
Make sure that the batteries are installed correctly. Check that they are oriented correctly, and that they have not popped up out of their place.

Could the batteries be exhausted?

Install fresh batteries. If the battery indication in the level meter screen shows as soon as possible. (little capacity remaining), replace the batteries

Is the AC adaptor connected to the DC IN jack?

If the AC adaptors plug is connected to the DC IN jack, the M-10DX cannot operate on batteries even if batteries are installed. Unplug the AC adaptor if you want use batteries.

Sound is crackly or distorted Could the input volume be too high?

The sound may be crackly or distorted if the input volume (level) is too high. If youre inputting audio from an input jack, adjust the M-10DXs input volume (level). Basic use (p. 17)

Are you mixing multiple channels?

Even if the input volume (level) of a single channel is appropriate, the sound may be louder when you mix several channels, possibly causing crackling or distortion. Please re-adjust the input level of each channel.

Are the equalizer levels appropriate?

If you turn an EQ knob (HI/MID/LO) too far toward the right, the sound may be crackly or distorted. Use the EQ knobs (HI/MID/LO) of each channel to re-adjust the equalizer levels.

Are the insert effect, finalize, room acoustic control, and FX settings appropriate?
Depending on the settings of each effect, the level may increase, causing the sound to be crackly or distorted. Check these settings and re-adjust them if necessary.

40

Troubleshooting

Noise can be heard Could you have raised the level of unused channels?
For the channels youre not using, minimize the input level by turning the SENS knob or the channel LEVEL knob all the way to the left.

Could numerous audio devices be connected?

Noise may occur if a large number of audio devices are connected. Dont connect audio devices that you're not using.

Loud noises such as howls, whines, or buzzes occur Is a mic connected?

Depending on the position of the mic and speakers, acoustic feedback (a whine or howl) may occur. In this case, take the following steps. 1. Change the direction of the mic 2. Move the mic away from the speakers 3. Lower the volume

Is an audio device connected to the M-10DX?

If the input and output of the audio device are both connected to the M-10DX, the signal may be creating a feedback loop. Please check the connections.

A low-volume buzz or hum is heard Is other equipment connected?

This noise is called hum. The M-10DX and the connected equipment may pick up electromagnetic interference and emit this noise as a result. This noise can be caused by the power supply frequency (50/60 Hz) or by high-output motors. Try moving your equipment away from the device that contains a motor, or connecting the M-10DX to a different AC outlet. You can also try connecting your equipment to a different input jack on the M-10DX.

Insert effect is not applied Could the insert effect setting for channels 1 and 2 be turned off?
Even if the [INSERTION FX] button is on (lit), the insert effect will not be applied unless the channel 1 and 2 IFX setting (p. 23) is on.

FX (echo/reverb) is not applied Could the send level be too low?

The effect may not be applied if the send level is too low. Turn the AUX/FX button (lit), and then turn the PAN/BAL knob toward the right to gradually increase the level.

41

Troubleshooting

Volume of a device connected to the LINE IN jacks is too low Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor?
Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.

Cant hear the sound from a mic connected to a MIC connector (12) Could you have connected a condenser mic that requires phantom power?
If youre connecting a condenser mic that requires phantom power, turn the [PHANTOM] switch on.

An input sound is heard only from the left or right Could the PAN knob or BAL knob be set all the way to the left or right?
Set the PAN knob or BAL knob to the center position.
