USB Connection Precautions
Be sure to observe the following points when connecting to the
computer’s USB interface. Failure to observe these rules can
result in computer freezes/hang-ups and possibly data loss or
corruption.
If the computer or MW10 does stop operating properly, turn
the power off and then on again, and restart the computer.
• Be sure to wake the computer from
sleep/suspended/standby mode before making a
connection to the computer’s USB connector.
• Connect the MW10 to the computer before turning the
MW10 power on.
• Always quit all applications running on the computer
before turning the MW10 power on or off, or connecting
or disconnecting the USB cable.
Wait at least 6 seconds between turning the MW10 on or
off, and between connecting or disconnecting the USB
cable.
DI
Be sure turn the MW10
PHANTOM switch on when
using phantom-powered
condenser microphones.
Although electric guitars and
basses can be connected
directly to the mixer’s inputs,
the sound is likely to be thin
and possibly noisy. For best
results with these types of
instruments use a DI box
(direct box), guitar/bass
preamplifier, or amp simulator
between the instrument and
the mixer.

1 Turn the power to all gear that is to be
connected to the MW10 off/standby
(except the computer), and set the ST
Master Level Control, Channel LEVEL
Controls, and GAIN Controls to their
minimum settings.
2
To prevent loud pops and noises, turn on
the power to your sound gear starting with
the sources (instruments, CD players, etc.)
and ending with the power amplifier or
powered speakers.
Example: Instruments, microphones, and CD players
first, then the mixer, and finally the power amplifier or
powered speakers.
n The first time you connect to the computer’s USB
connector, or change the connection to a different
USB port, a driver installation display may appear. If
this occurs, wait until the installation is complete
before proceeding.
Balanced Cables and Unbalanced Cables
Two types of cables can be used to connect microphones,
electronic instruments, and other audio sources to the
mixer’s inputs, as well as to connect the mixer’s outputs to
a power amplifier or related gear: balanced or
unbalanced. Balanced cables are highly resistant to noise,
and are the best choice for low-level signals such as the
output from microphones, as well as for long cable runs.
Unbalanced cables are generally used for short runs from
line-level sources such as synthesizers.
Cable Guidelines
Microphone cable: Balanced is best.
Short line-level cables: Unbalanced cable is fine in a
relatively noise-free environment.
Long line-level cables: Balanced is best.
Connector Types
XLR Connectors
This 3-pin connector is
resistant to externally
induced noise, and is used
primarily for balanced
connections. With properly
designed receiving circuitry
cables with this type of
connector can also be used for unbalanced signals. XLR
type connectors are the standard for microphone
connections as well as most professional audio gear.
Phone Connectors
Phone connectors are
available in mono and
stereo versions. Stereo
types are also known as
"TRS" connectors
(Tip-Ring-Sleeve), and are
used for stereo headphone jacks, insert jacks, and also to
carry balanced signals in many cases. Unbalanced types
are used for mono signals —guitar cables are a common
example.
RCA Pin Connectors
This type of unbalanced
connector is most
commonly found on home
audio and video equipment.
RCA type pin jacks are
often color coded: white for
left audio channel and red for right audio channel, for
example.
Step
3
Powering Up the System
Observe the following precautions when turning on
phantom power.
Make sure that the PHANTOM switch is off when phantom
power is not needed.
Make sure that no equipment other than phantom-powered
microphones is connected to the XLR type inputs when turning
phantom power on. Applying phantom power to equipment
other than phantom-powered microphones can damage the
equipment. The exception to this rule is balanced dynamic
microphones, which can safely be left connected while phantom
power is applied to the XLR inputs.
To minimize the possibility of speaker damage, turn phantom
power on ONLY while your power amplifier or powered speakers
are switched off. It’s also a good idea to turn the mixers output
controls—the ST Master LEVEL Control and Channel LEVEL
Controls—all the way down when turning phantom power on.

Level Adjustment
1 The first step in adjusting levels is to set
the level controls on all instruments and
other sources appropriately.
2 Adjust the channel GAIN controls so that
the corresponding peak indicators flash
briefly on the highest peak levels (GAIN
controls are not provided on the stereo
channels—7/8 and 9/10).
3 Raise the ST Master LEVEL Control to the
Eposition.
4 Adjust the Channel LEVEL Controls to
create the desired initial balance while
monitoring via headphones or monitor
speakers. The overall headphone level is
adjusted by the C-R/PHONES control.
EQ Adjustment
The MW10 mixer’s 3-band equalizers with independent
HIGH, MID, and LOW bands make it easy to shape the tone
of independent channels to achieve the best possible mix.

Use the High-pass Filter for Microphone Input
As the name implies, a "high-pass filter" allows only signals
above a certain frequency to pass. Conversely, signals
below that "cutoff frequency" are attenuated. When an
MW10 high-pass filter is turned on, signals below 80 Hz
are attenuated. This can be useful for minimizing
low-frequency breath noise from a vocalist, as well as
handling noise, or rumble transmitted via the microphone
stand. It is generally a good idea to turn the high-pass filter
on for microphone channels.
Equalizer Tips
The best advice that can be given regarding equalization
while recording is simply to use as little equalization as
possible. If you want a little more presence you can turn
the HIGH end up a bit. Or you can boost the bass a little if
you feel the low end is lacking. During recording it’s better
to use EQ sparingly for compensation only.

and the 2TR IN/USB control.
5 To save the project file select [Save] from
the [File] menu and enter a file name
before actually saving the file.
Save your project frequently to insure against losing
large amounts of data if a problem occurs.
6 Repeat steps 1 through 5 to record further
material on the same track.
7 To record additional material on a
different track, select a new track and
repeat the same record procedure.
In this section we’ll try mixing down multiple recorded audio
tracks to stereo, and creating a wave file. Mixes can be
stored as WAV or AIFF files, which can then be recorded to
audio CDs.
1 Launch Cubase LE and open a project file.
2 Select [Mixer] from the [Devices] menu to
open the mixer window.
3 Turn the [Record Enable] buttons for all
recorded tracks off in order to display the
corresponding levels via the channel-strip
levels meters.
4 Click the Transport panel [Play] button.
5 Drag the channel strip faders up and
down while listening to playback to adjust
the mix as required.
The master gain fader on the right side of the window
can also be used to adjust the overall level.
6 Drag the Pan controls on the left side of
the channel strips left and right to set the
stereo position of each track.

Mixing with Cubase LE
Start with the Featured Part
You can start working on a mix from almost any part, but it
makes the most sense to start with the main instrument or
vocal. Set up an initial level for the main part, and then build
the rest of the mix around it.
For example, if you’re mixing a piano trio with a vocalist, begin
by setting the level of the vocal track at around the nominal
level, and then gradually add the other instruments. Your
choices will also be influenced by the type of music you are
working on. If the song is a ballad you might want to add the
piano to the mix after the vocal, and then add the bass and
drums. If it’s a more rhythmically oriented piece you could add
the bass and drums first, and then the piano. Whatever best
serves the music is right.

7 At this point you can begin to use EQ to
refine your mix, and add effects.
As an example let’s try adding reverb. Click the [Edit
VST channel] button ( ) on the left side of the
channel strip to open the VST Channel Settings
window. Click No Effect Reverb Reverb B.
n For further details refer to the pdf manual provided
with the Cubase LE software.
It’s a good idea to lower the channel fader a bit
before adding an effect, since the effect can cause
an increase in the overall channel level.
8 When the final adjustments have been
made to the mix, go to the [File] menu and
select [Export] [Audio Mixdown].
9 Enter a file name and select a file type.
If you intend to use the file to create an audio CD,
select the WAV file type (AIFF on a Macintosh), Stereo
Interleaved, 16 bit, and 44.1 kHz.
10
Click [Save].
Progress of the mixdown operation will be shown in a
progress window. When the progress window closes
the mixdown is complete.
n Wave files created by mixdown can be directly
playback back using the Windows Media Player or
iTunes on a Macintosh computer.
Pan Effectively
"Panning" creates the illusion of stereo space by changing the
relative levels of each track’s signal sent to the left and right
speakers. If a signal is sent only to the left speaker, the sound
will appear to come from the far left side of the stereo sound
field. If it sent with equal level to both left and right speakers
our ears tell us the sound is located in the center of the stage.
Judicious panning can also help to create cleaner-sounding
mixes by spreading the instruments out across the sound
stage so that they don’t "get in each other’s way." There are no
hard and fast rules, but the bass and kick drum are usually
placed in the center of the mix, as is the lead instrument or
vocal. Other instruments should be evenly balanced
throughout the sound stage in a well-balanced manner.

Channel Control Section
1 GAIN Control
Adjusts the input signal level. To get the best balance
between the S/N ratio and the dynamic range, adjust the
level so that the PEAK indicator (2) comes on only at
about maximum input level.
The –60 to –16 scale indicates the MIC input adjustment
level. The –34 to +10 scale indicates the LINE input
adjustment level.
2 PEAK Indicator
Detects the peak level of the post-EQ signal, and lights
up red when the level reaches 3 dB below the clipping
level. For XLR-equipped stereo input channels (3/4 and
5/6), detects both post-EQ and post-mic-amp peak
levels, and lights red if either of these levels reaches 3
dB below the clipping level.
n When the level of an input signal exceeds the level that
can be handled by the mixer’s head amp or equalizer,
distortion and noise will result. The PEAK indicators are
used to visually check the signal level to ensure no
overload occurs.
3 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. (But note that regardless of the switch
setting, the mixer does not apply this HPF to the line
inputs of stereo input channels.)
4 Equalizer (HIGH, MID, and LOW)
This three-band equalizer adjusts the channel’s high,
mid, and low frequency bands. Setting the knob to the
position produces a flat frequency response. Turning the
knob to the right boosts the corresponding frequency
band, while turning to the left attenuates the band. The
following table shows the EQ type, base frequency, and
maximum cut/boost for each of the three bands.
n The equalizer can be used to boost or cut specific
frequency bands, allowing the tone of the sound to be
shaped as required by the mix.
5 AUX Controls
Use the AUX control to send the channel’s signal to the
AUX1or AUX2 bus.
Turn the knob to the left of the “” mark to feed the signal
to the AUX1 bus, or to the right of the “” to feed to the
AUX2 bus. The volume of the feed increases as you
move the knob away from the “” position. If you set the
knob exactly to the “” position, the mixer will not send
the signal to either of the AUX buses.
Note that the signal to the AUX1 bus is a pre-fader signal,
and is not affected by the channel LEVEL controls. The
signal to the AUX2 bus is a post-fader signal, and will
always pass through the channel LEVEL controls before
moving to the bus.
If you are using stereo channels, the signals from the L
(odd)and R (even) channels are mixed and sent to the
AUX1 andAUX2 buses.
6 PAN Control (CHs 1 and 2)
PAN/BAL Control (CHs 3/4 and 5/6)
BAL Control (CHs 7/8, 9/10)
The PAN control determines the positioning of the
channel’s signal on the Stereo L and R buses.
The BAL control knob sets the balance between left and
right channels. Signals into the L input (odd channel)
feed to the Stereo L bus; signals into the R input (even
channel) feed to the Stereo R bus.
n On channels where this knob provides both PAN and
BAL controls: The knob operates as a PAN control if you
are inputting through the MIC jack or into the L (MONO)
input only, and operates as a BAL control if you are
inputting into both L and R inputs.
7 Channel LEVEL Control
Adjusts the output level of the signal being input to the
channel. Use these LEVEL Controls to adjust the volume
balance among the various channels.
n To reduce noise, set the LEVEL Control knobs for
unused channels all the way to the left (to the minimum
setting).

Master Control Section
1 PHANTOM +48 V Switch
This switch toggles phantom power on and off. If you set
the switch on, the mixer supplies power to all channels
that provide XLR mic input jacks (CHs 1, 2, 3/4, 5/6). Set
this switch on ( ) when using one or more condenser
microphones.
n 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 tuning the switch on ( ), be sure that
only condenser mics are connected to the XLR
input jacks (CHs: 1 to 5/6). Devices other than
condenser mics may be damaged if connected to
the phantom power supply. Note, however, that
the switch may be left on without problem when
connecting to balanced dynamic microphones.
•To avoid damage to speakers, be sure to turn off
amplifiers (or powered speakers) before turning
this switch on or off. We also recommend that you
turn all output controls (ST Master LEVEL Con-
trol, etc.) to minimum settings before operating
the switch, to avoid risk of loud noises that could
cause hearing loss or device damage.
2 RETURN Control
Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the RETURN
jacks (L (MONO) and R) to the Stereo bus.
n If you supply a signal to the RETURN L (MONO) jack
only, the mixer outputs the identical signal to both the L
and R Stereo buses.
3 2TR IN/USB Control
Adjusts the level of signals received via 2TR IN, as well
as the level of signals received by the MW10 from the
computer via the USB interface.
4 2TR IN/USB Switch (TO ST/TO C-R)
Determines whether the stereo signal received via the
2TR IN connectors or USB interface is sent to the stereo
bus or the C-R OUT connectors and PHONES jack (level
meter).
n • When the 2TR IN/USB switch is set to TO ST, the
signal input via the 2TR IN/USB connector is added
to the stereo bus.
• When the 2TR IN/USB switch is set to TO C-R, the
signal input via the 2TR IN/USB connector is directly
sent to the C-R OUT/PHONES connector, and is not
output via the stereo bus.
5 ST Master LEVEL Control
Adjusts the signal level to the ST OUT jacks.
6 C-R/PHONES LEVEL Control
Controls the level of the signal output to the PHONES
jack and the C-R OUT L and R jacks.
7 Level Meter
This LED display shows the level of the signal fed to the
Stereo bus. The “0” point corresponds to the standard
output level. The indicator lights up red when the output
hits the clipping level.
8 POWER Indicator
This indicator lights up when the mixer’s power is ON.

Input/Output Section
1 Channel Input Jacks (CHs 1, 2, 3/4, 5/6)
MIC jacks
These are balanced XLR-type input jacks (1:Ground;
2:Hot; 3:Cold).
LINE jacks
These are balanced phone-type input jacks. You can
connect either balanced or unbalanced phone plugs to
these jacks.
n Where an input channel provides both a MIC jack and a
LINE jack, you may use either one of these jacks but you
may not use both at the same time. Please connect to
only one of these jacks on each channel.
2 INSERT I/O Jacks (CHs 1 and 2)
These are unbalanced phone-type input/output jacks.
Each of these jacks is positioned between the equalizer
and Channel LEVEL Control of the corresponding input
channel. These jacks can be used to independently
connect these channels to devices such as graphic
equalizers, compressors, and noise filters. These are
TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) phone jacks that support
bidirectional operation.
n Connection to an INSERT I/O jack requires a special
separately-sold insertion cable such as illustrated
below.
n The signal output from the INSERT I/O jacks is
reverse-phased. This will not be a problem if connecting
the jack to an effector. If using the jack to output to an
external device, however, please be aware of possible
phase conflicts with other signals.
3 Channel Input Jacks (CHs 7/8, 9/10)
Each of these channel pairs can be used to input a
stereo source signal. For each pair, the odd-numbered
channel inputs the L signal, and the even-numbered
channel inputs the R signal.
Each channel offers a choice of two jack types: phone
jack and RCA pin jack. All of these jacks are unbalanced.
n Where a channel provides both phone jacks and RCA
pin jacks, you may use either one of these jacks but you
may not use both at the same time. Please connect to
only of these jacks on each channel.
4 2TR IN Jacks
These are unbalanced RCA-pin input jacks. Use these
jacks when you want to connect a stereo sound source
(CD, DAT, etc.) directly to the mixer for monitoring.
n • You can adjust the signal level using the 2TR IN/USB
control in the Master Control section.
• When a signal is being received both via the 2TR IN
connectors and the USB interface, the received
signals are mixed.
5 REC OUT (L, R) Jacks
These are unbalanced RCA-pin output jacks. These
jacks output the mixed signal whose level is controlled by
the ST Master LEVEL Control. You use these jacks, for
example, to connect to an external recorder.
n These connectors output the same signal that sent to
the computer via the USB interface.

6 ST OUT (L, R) Jacks
These are impedance-balanced phone-type output
jacks. These jacks output the mixed signal whose level is
controlled by the ST Master LEVEL Control. You use
these jacks, for example, to connect to the power
amplifier driving your main speakers.
7 C-R OUT Jacks
These are impedance-balanced phone-type output
jacks. These jacks output the mixed signal whose level is
controlled by the C-R/PHONES LEVEL Control. You use
these jacks, for example, to connect to the powered
speaker.
n When the 2TR IN/USB switch is set to TO C-R, the signal
input via the 2TR IN/USB connector and the stereo bus
signal are mixed and output via the C-R OUT/PHONES
connector.
8 SEND Jacks
•AUX1, AUX2
These are impedance balanced phone-type output
jacks.
These jacks output the signals from AUX1 and AUX2,
respectively. You use these jacks, for example, to
connect to an effector or monitor system.
9 RETURN L (MONO), R Jacks
These are unbalanced phone-type input jacks. The
signal received by these jacks is sent to the Stereo bus.
These jacks are typically used to receive a return signal
from an external effector (reverb, delay, etc.).
n These jacks can also be used as an auxiliary stereo
input. If you connect to the L (MONO) jack only, the
mixer will recognize the signal as monaural and will
propagate the identical signal on both L and R jacks.
) PHONES Jack
Connector for headphones. This is a stereo phone-type
output jack.
n When the 2TR IN/USB switch is set to TO C-R, the signal
input via the 2TR IN/USB connector and the stereo bus
signal are mixed and output via the C-R OUT/PHONES
connector.
