CAUTION 2 Use only the included power adaptor (PA-10) or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha. Use of a different adaptor may result in equipment damage, overheating, or fire. Connect the power adaptor to the AC ADAPTOR IN connector (q) on the rear of the mixer, and then turn the fastening ring clockwise (w) to secure the connection. w 3 q Plug the power adaptor into a standard household power outlet. CAUTION • Be sure to unplug the adaptor from the outlet when not using the mixer, or when there are lightning storms in the area. • To avoid generating unwanted noise, make sure there is 50 cm or more between the power adaptor and the mixer. Turning the Power On/OFF Press the mixer’s power switch to the ON position. When you are ready to turn the power off, press the power switch to the STANDBY position. CAUTION NOTE Note that trace current continues to flow while the switch is in the STANDBY position. If you do not plan to use the mixer again for a long while, please be sure to unplug the adaptor from the wall outlet. 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. When turning off the power to the system, reverse the order described above. 6 MW8CX/MW10C Owner’s Manual  Mixer Basics Quick Guide Mixer Basics This quick setup and operation guide covers everything from installing the Cubase AI software to using Cubase AI for recording and mixdown. While going through this section you might find it useful to also refer to the “Front and Rear Panels” section on page 16, as well as the pdf manual supplied with the Cubase AI software.

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 MW mixer or computer does hang up, turn the power to both devices off and then on again, and restart the computer. CAUTION • Be sure to wake the computer from sleep/suspended/standby mode before making a connection to the computer’s USB connector. • Connect the MW mixer to the computer before turning the MW mixer power on. • Always quit all applications running on the computer before turning the MW mixer’s power on or off, or connecting or disconnecting the USB cable. • Wait at least 6 seconds between turning the MW mixer on or off, and between connecting or disconnecting the USB cable. LEVEL controls STEREO Master control CAUTION NOTE When connecting or disconnecting the USB cable be sure to turn the 2TR IN/USB control all the way down. Disconnect the USB cable when using the MW mixer without the computer. MW8CX/MW10C Owner’s Manual 7  Mixer Basics Quick Guide 3 Connecting Microphones and/or Instruments. For details on making connections refer to the “Setup” section on page 15 and the “Front & Rear Panels” section on page 16. Step 3 Powering Up the System 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. Be sure to turn the MW mixer PHANTOM switch on when using phantom-powered condenser microphones. Observe the following precautions when turning on phantom power. CAUTION • Make sure that the PHANTOM switch is off when phantom power is not needed. • When turning the switch on, be sure that only condenser microphones are connected to the XLR input jacks. Other devices may be damaged if connected to phantom power. This precaution does not apply to balanced dynamic microphones, however, as these will not be affected by phantom power. DI • 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 mixer’s output controls—STEREO Master control—all the way down. USB cable 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) or amp simulator between the instrument and the mixer. NOTE • We recommend that you set the computer output to the maximum level and mute the computer’s internal speaker. For details on how to make the setting refer to the “The recorded sound is too low in level.” in the “Troubleshooting” on page 22. • 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 after turning the power to the MW mixer on. 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 Short line-level cables Long line-level cables Balanced is best. Unbalanced cable is fine in a relatively noise-free environment. 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. 8 MW8CX/MW10C Owner’s Manual 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.  Mixer Basics Quick Guide Step 4 Adjusting Level and Tone Level Adjustment Tone Adjustment 1 The first step 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 (MW8CX), or 7/8 and 9/10 (MW10C)). 3 Raise the STEREO Master control to the “▼” position. 4 Adjust the LEVEL control to create the desired initial balance while monitoring via headphones or monitor speakers. The overall headphone level is adjusted by the MONITOR/PHONES control. The MW mixer’s compressors and 3-band equalizers 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 MW highpass 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. Compression One form of compression known as “limiting” can, when properly used, produce a smooth, unified sound with no excessive peaks or distortion. A common example of the use of compression is to “tame” a vocal that has a wide dynamic range in order to tighten up the mix. Compression can also be applied to guitar tracks to add extra sustain. Too much compression can be a cause of feedback, however, so use it sparingly. OUTPUT (Min) GAIN control (Max) PEAK indicator INPUT Equalizer Tips LEVEL controls MONITOR/PHONES control STEREO Master control 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. MW8CX/MW10C Owner’s Manual 9  Mixer Basics Quick Guide Step 5 Recording with Cubase AI This section describes the procedure for recording to the Cubase AI software we installed earlier via the MW mixer. NOTE Cubase AI 6 is used for the examples in this manual. For details about other versions of Cubase AI or Cubase AI operation in general, refer to the PDF manual provided with the software.

The overall playback level will be displayed via the master section bus level meter on the right side of the mixer window, and the channel level will be displayed via the channel strip level meter. NOTE The output signal from Cubase AI is routed to the MW mixer’s 2TR IN inputs. To hear the playback sound via a pair of headphones plugged into the MW mixer, set the bus select switch to TO MONITOR ( ) and adjust the volume with the 2TR IN/USB control and the MONITOR/ PHONES control. Level meter Step 5 To save the project 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 record procedure. NOTE You can monitor the sound being recorded and a previously recorded sound simultaneously while recording (MONITOR MIX). Refer to “B 2TR IN/USB” on page 19 for details. Bus level meter 6 Mixing with Cubase AI In this section we’ll try mixing down multiple recorded audio tracks to stereo, and creating an audio file. Mixes can be stored as WAV or AIFF files, which can then be recorded to audio CDs. 1 2 Launch Cubase AI and open a project file. 3 While listening to playback, drag the channel strip level faders up and down to create the desired initial balance, then adjust the overall volume using the bus volume fader. Click the [Start] button on the Transport Panel. 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. MW8CX/MW10C Owner’s Manual 13  Mixer Basics Quick Guide 4 Drag the pan controls on the top of the channel strips left and right to set the stereo position of each track. 6 Double-click the left locator (starting point) and right locator (ending point) of the Transport panel. Change each highlighted number, and then specify the position of the locator. Bar 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 cleanersounding 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. 5 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] button ( ) on the left side of the channel strip to open the VST audio channel settings window. Click Inserts 1 and select “Reverb - RoomWorks SE”. NOTE CAUTION 14 For further details refer to the pdf manual provided with the Cubase AI 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.

Channel Control Section 1 MIC Input Jacks (CHs 1 to 5/6) Channels 1 and 2 (Monaural) 1 Channels 3/4 and 5/6 (Stereo) 1 Channels 7/8 (7/8 and 9/10) (Stereo) These are balanced XLR-type microphone input jacks (1:Ground; 2:Hot; 3:Cold). 2 LINE Input Jacks (CHs 1, 2) These are balanced TRS phone-jack line inputs (T:Hot; R:Cold; S:Ground). You can connect either balanced or unbalanced phone plugs to these jacks. 4 3 LINE Input Jacks (CHs 3/4 to 7/8 (CHs 3/4 to 2 3 9/10)) 3 These are unbalanced phone-jack stereo line inputs. 5 4 LINE Input Jacks (CH 7/8, (CHs 7/8, 9/10)) These are unbalanced stereo RCA pin jacks. Where an input channel provides both a MIC input jack and a LINE input jack, or a LINE input jack and an RCA pin jack, you can use either jack but not both at the same time. Please connect to only one jack on each channel. NOTE 6 6 7 7 8 5 INSERT Jacks (CHs 1, 2) 9 9 0 0 Each of these jacks provides an insert point between the equalizer and LEVEL control of the corresponding input channel (CHs 1, 2). The INSERT jacks are ideal for connecting devices such as graphic equalizers, compressors, or noise filters into the corresponding channels. These are TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) phone jacks that carry both the send and return signal (tip = send/out; ring = return/in; sleeve = ground). 0 Patching external devices via an INSERT jack requires a special insert cable such as illustrated below (insert cable sold separately). NOTE A A A B B B C C C To the input jack of the external processor To the INSERT I/O jack MW8CX Sleeve (Ground) Ring: IN Tip: OUT Tip: OUT Tip: IN To the output jack of the external processor CAUTION 16 MW8CX/MW10C Owner’s Manual The signal output from the INSERT jacks is reverse-phased. This should not be a problem when connecting to an effect unit, but please be aware of the possiblility of phase conflict when connecting to other types of device. A reversedphased signal may result in degraded sound quality or even complete sound cancellation.  Reference Front & Rear Panels 6 GAIN Control B PAN Control (CHs 1, 2) Adjusts the input signal level. To achieve the best balance between S/N ratio and dynamic range, adjust the level so that the PEAK indicator 9 lights only occasionally and briefly on the highest input transients. The -60 to -16 scale is the MIC input adjustment range. The -34 to +10 scale is the LINE input adjustment range. 7 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 (the HPF does not apply to the line inputs of stereo input channels 34). PAN/BAL Control (CHs 3/4, 5/6) BAL Control (CH 7/8 (CHs 7/8, 9/10) The PAN control determines the stereo positioning of the channel signal on the Stereo L and R buses. The BAL control knob sets the balance between left and right channels. Signals input to the L input (odd channel) go to the Stereo L bus; signals input to the R input (even channel) go to the Stereo R bus. NOTE 8 COMP Control Adjusts the amount of compression applied to the channel. As the knob is turned to the right the compression ratio increases while the output gain is automatically adjusted accordingly. The result is smoother, more even dynamics because louder signals are attenuated while the overall level is boosted. NOTE On channels where this knob provides both PAN and BAL control (channels 3/4 and 5/6), the knob operates as a PAN control when input is received via the MIC jack or L (MONO) input only, and as a BAL control when input is received via both L and R inputs. C LEVEL Control Adjusts the level of the channel signal. Use these knobs to adjust the balance between the various channels. NOTE Set the controls for unused channels all the way down to minimize noise. Avoid setting the compression too high, as the higher average output level that results may lead to feedback. 9 PEAK Indicator The peak level of the post-EQ signal is detected, and the PEAK indicator lights red when the level reaches 3 dB below clipping. For XLR-equipped stereo input channels (3/ 4 and 5/6), both the post-EQ and post-mic-amp peak levels are detected, and the indicator lights red if either of these levels reaches 3 dB below clipping. 0 Equalizer (HIGH, MID, and LOW) This three-band equalizer adjusts the channel’s high, mid, and low frequency bands. CH 7/8 (CHs 7/8, 9/10) have two bands: high and low. Setting the knob to the ▼ position produces a flat response in the corresponding band. 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, frequency, and maximum cut/boost for each of the three bands. Band Type Frequency HIGH Shelving 10 kHz MID Peaking 2.5 kHz LOW Shelving 100 Hz Maximum Cut/Boost ±15 dB A EFFECT (AUX) Control Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the channel to the EFFECT (AUX) bus. Note that the signal level sent to the bus is also affected by the LEVEL control C. On stereo channels (CHs 3/4 to 7/8 (CHs 3/4 to 9/10)) the signals from the L (odd) and R (even) channels are mixed and then sent to the EFFECT (AUX) bus. MW8CX/MW10C Owner’s Manual 17  Reference Front & Rear Panels Master Control Section 3 RETURN L (MONO), R Jacks 1 These are unbalanced phone-jack type line inputs. The signal received by these jacks is sent to the STEREO L/R bus. These jacks are typically used to receive the signal returned from an external effect device (reverb, delay, etc.). 2 NOTE 5 3 6 4 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 send the identical signal to both the L and R jacks. 4 SEND EFFECT (AUX) Jack This is an impedance balanced* TRS phone jack that outputs the signal from the EFFECT (AUX) bus. You can use this jack, for example, to connect to an external effect unit. 7 5 STEREO OUT (L, R) Jacks These are impedance balanced* TRS phone jacks that output the signals adjusted by the STEREO Master control E. You can use these jacks, for example, to connect to the power amplifier driving your main speakers. 6 MONITOR (L, R) Jacks 0 8 A These are impedance balanced* TRS phone jacks that output the signals adjusted by the MONITOR/PHONES control C. Connect these jacks to your monitor system. 7 PHONES Jack Connect a pair of headphones to this TRS phone jack. The PHONES jack outputs the same signal as the MONITOR OUT jacks. 9 8 PHANTOM +48 V Switch B D C This switch toggles phantom power on and off. When the switch is on the mixer supplies +48V phantom power to all channels that have XLR mic input jacks (CHs 1–5/6). Turn this switch on when using one or more phantom-powered condenser microphones. NOTE MW8CX 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 ( not need phantom power. 1 2TR IN Jacks These RCA pin jacks can be used to input a stereo sound source. Use these jacks when you want to connect a CD player directly to the mixer. NOTE Select where you want to send the signal using the 2TR IN/USB switch B, and adjust the signal level using the 2TR IN/USB control in the Master Control section. 2 REC OUT (L, R) Jacks These RCA pin jacks can be connected to an external recorder such as an MD recorder in order to record the same signal that is being output via the STEREO OUT jacks. NOTE 18 The mixer’s STEREO Master control has no affect on the signal output via these jacks. Be sure to make appropriate level adjustments at the recording device. MW8CX/MW10C Owner’s Manual CAUTION ) if you do • When turning 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 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 (STEREO Master control, etc.) to their minimum settings before operating the switch to avoid the risk of loud noises that could cause hearing loss or device damage.  Reference Front & Rear Panels 9 RETURN Control MONITOR MIX Signal Flow Adjusts the level at which the signal received at the RETURN jacks (L (MONO) and R) is sent to the STEREO L/R bus. If you supply a signal to the RETURN L (MONO) jack only, the mixer sends the same signal to both the L and R Stereo buses.

Mounting to a Microphone Stand CAUTION • When using the mixer on a microphone stand, be sure to set the stand on a level and stable surface. Do not set up the stand in locations subject to vibrations or wind. • Note that mixer may be damaged if the stand should fall over. Attach the connection cables carefully so that the cables will not catch on the equipment and cause it to fall. For example: arrange the cables so that they run parallel with the microphone pole down to the base of the stand. 2 Turn the mixer right-side up, and mount it onto your microphone stand. 3 Loosen the angle adjustment wingnut (q), adjust the mixer’s angle as desired (w), and then tighten the wingnut securely (e). • Leave ample free space around the stand. 1 Turn the mixer upside-down, and hold the microphone-stand adaptor (BMS-10A; sold separately) against the bottom of the mixer so that the screw holes are aligned (q). Screw the adaptor firmly into place with the two screws (w). For more information, refer to the BMS-10A Owner’s Manual.
