NAMES AND FUNCTIONS OF THE CONTROLS
Input jacks 1 ~ 4
External sound sources such as mic, keyboard, guitar, etc. are
plugged here. As a level selector for mic/line is provided in
channel 1, this should be used when connecting a microphone.
Line level output signals only should be connected to channels 2
~4 as these jacks are designed for line output sound sources.
Power LED
This is lit when the power
supply is switched on.
Level selector switch
Input level is selected in
accordance to the sound
source connected to Input
Jack 1.
LINE (-10dBV):
This position is selected when a
l i n e l e v e l s o u n d s o u r c e i s
connected.
MIC (-60dBV):
This position is selected when a
microphone is used.
MIC (ALC ON; -50~-20dBV)
This is also the position when
using a microphone. When this
position is selected, the ALC
circuit becomes active and the
input level is automatically
adjusted within a -50dBV~-20dBV
range (The LED will light in green
when switched to this position and
change to red when the ALC
circuit is in operation).
Peak LED
This LED will be lit when the
output signal adjusted by
the master fader overloads.
Set the master fader so that
the LED dose not light too
frequently.
4. Switch off power to the mixer when interconnecting it to external
equipment.
Always be sure to switch off the MN04 power when interconnecting
external equipment to the MN04.
5. Properly dispose of exhausted battery removed from the mixer.
Do not throw old battery removed from MN04 into a fire.
This is very dangerous as they could explode.
6. Use an AC adaptor specified by Fostex.
Be sure to use the AC adaptor specified by Fostex. The power cord
connector polarity could be wrong depending on the manufacturer.
1. Avoid using headphones for long hours at high volume levels.
Doing so can result in hearing failure. Any sudden increase in
headphone sound levels must also be avoided. This could result in
damage to your hearing.
2. Turn down all sound volume controls when switching on power
to this mixer.
Also, turn all volume controls when switching on/off power to the
MN04. Otherwise, a sudden loud noise could have a bad affect on
you ears and your hearing.
The schematic is indicates that
the outer sheath is minus
polarity and the inner pole plus
polarity, and the power supply
is DC 9V.

power to this mixer.
As a small current will be flowing even
though the mixer power is switched
off, it is recommended to unplug the
AC adaptor from the wall outlet if the
MN04 is not to be used for long hours
or extensive periods of time.

removing the headphone plug from the PHONES jack. Doing so with
the volume control turned up, could result in hurting your ears.

input jacks of amplifier contained
speakers, multitrack recorders,
mixers, etc. (Refer to next page).
