Connecting Microphone(s)

The Messenger™ M100 powered mixer is designed to work with any good-quality,
balanced, dynamic or condenser microphone such as the supplied PV
the microphone(s) to the XLR (three-pin) input connectors as shown. When using more
than one mic, try to connect them to channels in the same order as they appear on stage
to make them easier to identify and control.

Split Track Mix

Split Track is a featured used on many sing along CDs and cassettes. The vocals are on one
side (track) while the music is on the other track. The advantage is that the music can be
played without or with only a small amount of vocals during the performance (to help
stay on key and beat/que). The Messenger has provisions for the split track feature built
in. Channels 4 and 5 have independent volume controls that are controlled by a master
channel volume.
For example:
If you want to increase the volume of the pre-recorded material (both tracks) to the
level of the other channels (such as a live singer), simply increase the channel 4/5
master volume.
If you want to increase the volume of the music over the vocals, simply increase the
music control on ch 4/5 or vice versa for vocals.
This method is much better than a balance or fader because it allows one track to be controlled independently
of the other, whereas faders and balance controls reduce one channel while increasing the other.
Since the recording companies who produce these split-track cassettes often use differing production methods,
sometimes the music and vocal tracks are swapped—meaning that the Music and Voice controls on channel 4/5
will be respectively backward. What you would expect to hear when adjusting the Music level control would be
the voice, and vice versa.
We've included a "swap" button on this channel that allows you to flip-flop the tracks so our Music and Voice
level controls always adjust the correct track. If you adjust the Messenger's Music control and notice a change
in the vocal volume, for example, then simply press the Music Track Select button. The Music control will then
adjust the music, and the Voice control will adjust the vocals.

Connecting CD, Tape or Other Line Sources

Simply connect the output of the device to the channel 4/5 RCA/phono inputs. Red is right
and white is left. For normal audio play, be sure to set the vocal and music volume controls
on channel 4/5 to "5." The channel master volume is used to control the volume of the
track.
