10. Power LED and Switch
The Power LED lets you know that the M810/M1610 is plugged in, turned on and all
systems are normal. The Clip/Protect LEDs normally indicate clipping in the amplifiers.
They will remain illuminated and the power LED will turn off in the unlikely event that
the amplifiers overheat or if DC voltage is detected on the output. The AC power on/off
switch is on the rear panel of the M810/M1610.
11. Phantom Power
The Phantom Power LED indicates that 48 volts of DC phantom power is present on
the XLR microphone inputs for powering condenser microphones. Regular dynamic mics
may also be used while the Phantom Power is on. Connecting a microphone of either
type with phantom power on and the channel LEVEL up will create a large transient,
resulting in a loud, potentially damaging pop. When setting up, either turn off the AC
power, the phantom power, or set all channel levels to zero. The Phantom Power push-
button is located on the rear panel between the speaker output jacks.
12. Tape/CD Input
Left and right RCA inputs are provided to connect a CD player, cassette player or other
stereo source to the mixer. These inputs are routed directly to the main bus, the Tape/CD
control adjusts the amount of signal.
13. Mute 1-8 Switch
The M810/M1610 includes a feature that enables users
to instantly mute channels 1-8. Depressing the Mute 1-8
switch will mute channels 1-8 signals being sent to the
Left, Right, Mon and EFX busses (the signals from these
channels will still be sent to the record bus and will not
be muted. Channel 9/10 will remain active, leaving this
channel open for allowing a microphone or CD player, cas-
sette player or other stereo source to be heard over the
Left, Right, Mon and EFX busses. This feature lets you
mute the mics and instruments on stage and still allows
you to make announcements or play music during breaks.
When the band returns to perform, simply deactivate.
Note: The Tape/CD input in the master section also
remains active. While muted, the Mute LED flashes
at a slow rate (long on/short off) and the clip LEDs
of all the muted channels alternate long off/short on.
14. Amp Assign Switch
The MAIN controls determine the level of the signal
routed through the Amp Assign switch:

signals into a single, mono signal while directing it to the input of Equalizer
A, the output of which goes to both the Amp A power amp channel and to the
Post-EQ MAIN OUT jack. Additionally, the signal from the MON master's output
is routed through Equalizer B and then to both the Amp B power amp channel
and to the MON Out jack.
