IMPORTANT NOTES

291a In addition to the items listed under USING THE UNIT SAFELY on page 34, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply: Use of Batteries 301 Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is

being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.

302 The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long

hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

303a The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the units

power consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to use batteries, please use the alkaline type.

304a When installing or replacing batteries, always turn off the

power on this unit and disconnect any other devices you may have connected. This way, you can prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

307 Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the

power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement 351 Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment

containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.

352a This device may interfere with radio and television

reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

352b Noise may be produced if wireless communications

devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initi- ating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.

354a Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near

devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

355b When moved from one location to another where the

temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

360 Depending on the material and temperature of the surface

on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface. You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

Maintenance 401a For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth

or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

402 Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any

kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or defor- mation.

Repairs and Data 452 Please be aware that all data contained in the units

memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

Additional Precautions 551 Please be aware that the contents of memory can be

irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the units memory written down on paper.

552 Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents

of data that was stored in the units memory once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

IMPORTANT NOTES

553 Use a reasonable amount of care when using the units

buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

554 Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display. 556 When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the

connector itselfnever pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cables internal elements.

558a To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the units

volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).

559a When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box

(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

562 Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables

that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

927 Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you

may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other objects, such as guitars. This is due to an infini- tesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the Information page.

Unsuitable places for connection Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution) Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion) Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be

dangerous in the event of lightning)

Battery handling Incorrect handling of batteries, rechargeable batteries, or a

battery charger can cause leakage, overheating, fire, or explosion. Before use, you must read and strictly observe all of the precautions that accompany the batteries, rechargeable batteries, or battery charger. When using rechargeable batteries and a charger, use

only the combination of rechargeable batteries and charger specified by the battery manufacturer.

985 The explanations in this manual include illustrations that

depict what should typically be shown by the display. Note, however, that your unit may incorporate a newer, enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes newer sounds), so what you actually see in the display may not always match what appears in the manual.

Power Cmp1 This controls a COSM effect that simulates a vacuum tube amp, and a compressor. It boosts thin sounds that are lacking in low range, giving them greater weight and power.

Power Cmp2 This controls a COSM effect that simulates a vacuum tube amp, and a compressor. It boosts the mid-range, creating a fat-sounding vocal.

Power Cmp3 This controls a COSM effect that simulates a vacuum tube amp, and a compressor. It boosts the high range.

This is ideal for delicate acoustic guitar sounds.

This is also a way to obtain greater clarity for sounds that tend to be buried by other loud sounds around them.

* You should be careful not to over-apply effects. Doing so may increase noise, or cause the sound to be muffled when loud

sounds are excessively suppressed.

List of effects

Parameter Range Explanation

NS -90.0 -40 dB

Cuts the noise that occurs at low volumes in the background of the voice. With higher values for this setting, louder noises will be cut.

* If you apply this too strongly, the beginning (attack) and end (decay) of the

voice may be cut off unnaturally, or the voice may be less intelligible.

(Power Cmp1) BASS

0100 Mainly adjusts the loudness of the low-frequency range. Raising this setting will boost the low-frequency range.

(Power Cmp2) TONE

0100 Mainly adjusts the loudness of the mid-frequency range. Raising this setting will boost the mid-frequency range.

(Power Cmp3) BRIGHT

0100 Mainly adjusts the loudness of the high-frequency range. Raising this setting will boost the high-frequency range.

TUBE 0100

This is a COSM effect that simulates a vacuum tube amp. It produces the natural-sounding distortion typical of a vacuum tube. Raising this setting will increase the distortion.

* Since this models the subtle characteristics of a vacuum tube amp, it may

be difficult to notice the result in some cases.

COMP 0100

Lowers the threshold of the compressor (i.e., the volume level at which the compressor begins to operate), and simultaneously raises the vol- ume. The result is to even out the volume levels of the loud and soft sounds, raising the overall loudness. Raising this setting will increase the level. Unlike simply raising the volume, this produces a thicker and heavier sound.

The compressor threshold is common to channels 1 and 2. This means that you can use COMP either in stereo for channels 1 and 2, or for just one or the other channel.

Advanced use

Vocal Enh. (Vocal Enhancer) This effect controls a four-band equalizer to give the voice brightness and clarity.

It works on the basic components of a voice as well as the components that define its character, boosting or reducing these components. This can be used to emphasize or modify the character of spoken lines in a stage play, or when recording a vocal.

Narration This effect controls a de-esser and enhancer to give the voice greater clarity and intelligibility.

It will minimize the sibilants (*1) that are heard when vocalizing into a mic, making the voice more listenable.

When editing video, its convenient to use this while recording a voice-over, narration, or reading.

(*1) Sibilants are the s sounds within words.

Parameter Range Explanation

NS -90.0 -40 dB

Cuts any low-volume noises that occur in the background of the vocal. Raising this setting will cut progressively louder noises.

* If you apply this too strongly, the beginning (attack) and end (decay) of the

voice may be cut off unnaturally, or the voice may be less intelligible.

TONE 0100 Boosts the frequency range that is the basic component of the voice. Raise this value to make the vocal more rich-sounding, or lower it to re- duce unwanted resonance or loudness.

BRIGHT 0100 Increases the brightness. The higher the value, the brighter the sound.

Parameter Range Explanation

NS -90.0 -40 dB

Cuts the low-volume noises that occur in the background of the voices. Raising this setting will cut progressively louder noises.

* If you apply this too strongly, the beginning (attack) and end (decay) of the

voice may be cut off unnaturally, or the voice may be less intelligible.

ATTACK 0100 Emphasize the sense of attack for the voice. Raising this setting will produce a stronger sense of attack.

CLARITY 0100

Specifies the strength of the effect that clarifies the voice. Raising this setting will apply the effect more strongly.

* If this effect is applied excessively to a voice that is already clear, the sound

may become unpleasant or distorted.

DEESSER 0100 Cuts the sibilance. Raising this setting will apply the effect more strongly.

Room acoustics refers to the overall acoustical characteristics of the environment in which youre reproducing sound, including the response of the speakers youre using.

The M-10DX provides a Room Acoustic Auto Control function, which automatically compensates for the acoustics of a room. At the touch of a single button, this function performs the following operations:

(1) Outputs a test signal from the M-10DX, and plays this signal through the connected monitors.

(2) Detects the sound played by the monitors with the Room Acoustic Sensor, and analyzes its

frequency response.

(3) Based on the results of the analysis, automatically adjusts the response of the output signal.

The results of this automatic adjustment can be further edited manually if you wish.

Depending on the environment in which you are located, the automatic adjustment may not be enough to provide the optimal response. In this case, you can perform manual adjustments in conjunction with the automatic adjustment.

You can use a mic connected to channel 1 as the room acoustics sensor.

In order to obtain the best possible results from this function, please observe the following points. fig.RAC_Caution-e

Place your equipment so that the room acoustic sensor or mic (if the RAC Source (p. 38) is set to CH1) is at the listening point.

Place your equipment so that the left and right monitors (speakers) are the same distance to the sensor/mic.

To the extent possible, place the sensor/mic at the height of your ears at the listening point.

Do not place obstructions near the sensor/mic.

While the adjustments are being performed, do not place the M-10DX or mic on an object that could resonate easily (such as a hollow box or stand).

* Such an object could resonate with the test signal, causing slight vibrations that might interfere with accurate measurement.

With monitors (speakers) that have a low output level, the test signal may not be detected, and the analysis may fail to start. In this case we recommend that you perform the analysis manually (p. 33).

Final 1/2/3/4 These effects let you make more detailed settings as necessary. With the factory settings, these effects are set as follows.

List of effects

Parameter Range Explanation CROSS 10.014k (Hz) Specifies the frequency at which the low and high ranges will be divided.

COMPRESS 0100

Lowers the threshold of the multi-band compressor (the volume at which the compressor begins to apply), and simultaneously raises the volume. The result is that the level differences between high volume and low volume will be smoothed out, making the overall volume more consis- tent and raising the overall loudness. Increasing this value will intensi- fy the result. Unlike simply raising the volume, this produces a thicker and denser sound.

CLARITY 0100

Controls the enhancer to specify the degree to which the sound is clar- ified. Higher settings will produce a stronger effect.

* If you excessively apply this to a sound that is already clear, it will make

the sound unpleasant or distorted.

Parameter Range Explanation

L COMPRESS 0100

Lowers the low-frequency threshold for the multi-band compressor, and simultaneously increases the volume. This will thicken the sound of the low-frequency range. Increasing this value will set this to a high- er level. Unlike simply raising the volume, this produces a thicker and denser low-frequency range.

H COMPRESS 0100

Lowers the high-frequency threshold for the multi-band compressor, and simultaneously increases the volume. This will thicken the sound of the high-frequency range. Increasing this value will set this to a high- er level. Unlike simply raising the volume, this produces a thicker and denser high-frequency range.

Final 1 Improves the overall balance. Final 2 Boosts the low-frequency range. Final 3 Clarifies muddy sound. Final 4 Smoothes out inconsistencies in the sound.

Parameter Range Explanation

Cross 10.014k (Hz) Specifies the frequency at which the multi-band compressors low and high frequency ranges will be divided.

ThrsL -500 Specifies the volume at which the low-frequency range compressor be- gins to apply.

GainL -5024 Specifies the amount of boost or cut for the low-frequency range.

ThrsH -500 Specifies the volume at which the high-frequency range compressor be- gins to apply.

GainH -5024 Specifies the amount of boost or cut for the high-frequency range.

Clarity 0100

Controls the enhancer to adjust the strength of the effect that clarifies the sound. Increasing this value will produce a stronger effect.

* If you excessively apply this to a sound that is already clear, it will make

the sound unpleasant or distorted.

Troubleshooting

If you experience problems, read this chapter first/ It contains tips for solving most problems.

Is the AC adaptor connected correctly? Check the connections, and make sure that the AC adaptor plug is inserted firmly into the DC IN jack.

Are the batteries installed correctly? Make sure that the batteries are installed correctly. Check that they are oriented correctly, and that they have not popped up out of their place.

Could the batteries be exhausted? Install fresh batteries.

If the battery indication in the level meter screen shows (little capacity remaining), replace the batteries as soon as possible.

Is the AC adaptor connected to the DC IN jack? If the AC adaptors plug is connected to the DC IN jack, the M-10DX cannot operate on batteries even if batteries are installed. Unplug the AC adaptor if you want use batteries.

Could the input volume be too high? The sound may be crackly or distorted if the input volume (level) is too high. If youre inputting audio from an input jack, adjust the M-10DXs input volume (level).

Basic use (p. 17)

Are you mixing multiple channels? Even if the input volume (level) of a single channel is appropriate, the sound may be louder when you mix several channels, possibly causing crackling or distortion. Please re-adjust the input level of each channel.

Are the equalizer levels appropriate? If you turn an EQ knob (HI/MID/LO) too far toward the right, the sound may be crackly or distorted. Use the EQ knobs (HI/MID/LO) of each channel to re-adjust the equalizer levels.

Are the insert effect, finalize, room acoustic control, and FX settings appropriate?

Depending on the settings of each effect, the level may increase, causing the sound to be crackly or distorted. Check these settings and re-adjust them if necessary.

Power does not turn on (when using the AC adaptor)

Power does not turn on (when using batteries)

Sound is crackly or distorted

Troubleshooting

Could you have raised the level of unused channels? For the channels youre not using, minimize the input level by turning the SENS knob or the channel LEVEL knob all the way to the left.

Could numerous audio devices be connected? Noise may occur if a large number of audio devices are connected. Dont connect audio devices that you're not using.

Is a mic connected? Depending on the position of the mic and speakers, acoustic feedback (a whine or howl) may occur. In this case, take the following steps. 1. Change the direction of the mic 2. Move the mic away from the speakers 3. Lower the volume

Is an audio device connected to the M-10DX? If the input and output of the audio device are both connected to the M-10DX, the signal may be creating a feedback loop. Please check the connections.

Is other equipment connected? This noise is called hum. The M-10DX and the connected equipment may pick up electromagnetic interference and emit this noise as a result. This noise can be caused by the power supply frequency (50/60 Hz) or by high-output motors. Try moving your equipment away from the device that contains a motor, or connecting the M-10DX to a different AC outlet. You can also try connecting your equipment to a different input jack on the M-10DX.

Could the insert effect setting for channels 1 and 2 be turned off? Even if the [INSERTION FX] button is on (lit), the insert effect will not be applied unless the channel 1 and 2 IFX setting (p. 23) is on.

Could the send level be too low? The effect may not be applied if the send level is too low. Turn the AUX/FX button (lit), and then turn the PAN/BAL knob toward the right to gradually increase the level.

Noise can be heard

Loud noises such as howls, whines, or buzzes occur

A low-volume buzz or hum is heard

Insert effect is not applied

FX (echo/reverb) is not applied

41

Troubleshooting

Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor? Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.

Could you have connected a condenser mic that requires phantom power?

If youre connecting a condenser mic that requires phantom power, turn the [PHANTOM] switch on.

Could the PAN knob or BAL knob be set all the way to the left or right? Set the PAN knob or BAL knob to the center position.

Volume of a device connected to the LINE IN jacks is too low

Cant hear the sound from a mic connected to a MIC connector (12)

An input sound is heard only from the left or right
