6 Channel Mixer

The M-146 is 6-channel mixer in 4HP only. Inputs can be DC or AC coupled (for mixing CV and/or audio) by internal jumpers (jumper set = DC coupled). Inputs are basically “equal gain” but if some inputs are not used gain ratio for used inputs is changed due normalling (signal from upper jacks is copied to lower inputs). There is simple rule: more empty jacks below = increased gain.

Example:

• If inputs 1 and 4 (or inputs 3 and 5 or inputs 5 and 6) are used only then they will be about same level (same number of empty jacks under jacks used).
• If inputs 2 and 5 are used then input 2 will be slightly stronger than input 5 (two empty jacks below “1”, one empty below “5”).
• If inputs 1 and 6 will be used only then input 1 will be much stronger than input 6 (more empty inputs below “1”).
• If signals should be mixed at equal level (say 4 oscillators for polyphony) higher inputs should be used (for 4 sources at same level use inputs 3, 4, 5 and 6.
• Repatching signal from input 3 to input 2 makes this signal stronger or repatching to input 1 even more stronger than others).
• If all 6 inputs are used their levels will be same.
