Lightware MMX8x4-HT Series Quick Start Guide

Installation Guide for Connecting a Microphone
These settings can be done from a computer using the Lightware Device Controller
(LDC) software. The application is available at www.lightware.com, install it on a
Windows PC or a Mac OS X and connect to the device via LAN, USB, or RS-232.
1. Before the connection, please set these properties below:
Port Property Value Lightware Device Controller
Analog

(BAL.OUT)
Volume -80dB and/or Mute
Microphone

2. Connect the microphone.
a. In case of dynamic or wireless microphone: skip this step and follow the
instructions with step 3.
b. In case of condenser microphone: Switch on the phantom power. Switch on the
phantom power. Keep pressed the +48V button more than 2 seconds to activate
phantom power.
 Phantom power supplies the condenser microphone by 48V which is necessary
for normal operation. Application of the phantom power can cause a damage if
dynamic or wireless microphone is connected!
 Always switch on the phantom power when the cabling and connecting are done. Do
not disconnect the microphone when the phantom power is switched on!
3. Set these properties below:

4. Talk to the microphone continuously.
Increase the microphone input gain slowly
and check the signal indicator chart. It gives
a feedback about the optimal signal level.
 Take care that peak led (PK!) never lights up!
5. If the signal level is low, set the optimal
volume both the microphone input and
balanced output channel. Always check the
signal indicator chart for the optimal level!
 Take care that peak led (PK!) never lights up!

 Always check the correct wiring
of the microphone cable! Never apply
phantom power with unbalanced cable,
because it can cause a damage!
Microphone cable should be shielded with
2x0,22mm conductor, max. 50m long.
For more information about audio cable wiring see the user’s manual of the device or the
