​
Microphone Inputs

The MX2100 has 3 microphone inputs (MIC-1, MIC-2 and MIC-3) with TRS 1/4” (6.25 mm) connectors. The preamplifiers use local feedback technique, which prevents saturation at high sound pressure levels (for example, a reporter shouting a goal).

​
Built-in Microphone

  • Built-in electret microphone on the front panel (MIC-4).
  • Allows broadcasting even without external microphones.
  • Shares level control with line input and Bluetooth return.
MIC-4 is disabled when using USB connection (to computer or charger) or when line input is connected.
The MIC-4/LIN/Bluetooth control presents different signals depending on the working scenario (see Console Operation).

​
Line Input

  • LIN-4: mono line input.
  • Accepts direct connection from headphone outputs of portable recorders, mobile phones, laptops, tablets, etc.
  • A 1/8” stereo miniplug cable can be used, although the ring (right channel) remains unconnected in the console.
  • Shares level control with built-in microphone (MIC-4) and Bluetooth return.
If connecting stereo equipment, the input will use only one channel. The plug’s ring (right channel) remains unconnected in the console.

​
Program Output (Bal Out)

  • Balanced, monaural output with TRS 1/8” connector.
  • Signal mix: MIC-1, MIC-2, MIC-3/USB and MIC-4/LINE/Bluetooth.

​
Dynamic Processing

The PGM signal goes through a dynamic range compressor designed for human voice:
  • Controls peaks and prevents level differences.
  • Free from distortion and without background noise increase.
  • Compression indication through two front LEDs.
This system allows conducting interviews with consistent levels, without requiring an audio operator. The PGM output can be used to:
  • Connect to portable digital recorders to obtain quality recordings.
  • Send signal to Studios via VHF/UHF radio link in high quality (30-15,000 Hz).

​
Headphone Outputs

  • Internal signal distributor for headphones.
  • 3 outputs with 3.5mm minijack connectors.
  • The mix sent to headphones depends on connection mode and working scenario (see Console Operation).

​
USB Audio

The MX2100 console was designed to simplify connection with laptops, enabling Internet streaming broadcasts.
  • The USB connection handles both sends and returns of signal with Studios.
  • Uses a standard mini-USB to USB-A male cable.

​
Automatic Operating System Detection

When connecting the MX2100 to a computer with Windows 7/8/10, Linux or OS-X:
  • The operating system detects the console and automatically installs the necessary drivers.
  • No additional drivers required.
In Windows, the USB device is automatically configured as the default device.

​
Detected Devices

The console identifies as:
  • USB playback device (stereo out): computer sends audio to MX2100.
  • USB recording device (stereo in): computer receives audio from MX2100.

​
USB Power

  • Internal rechargeable Ni-Cd battery.
  • Runtime: 16 hours of continuous use thanks to CMOS technology.
  • Included automatic multi-voltage USB external charger (100-240 VAC).
  • Connection via USB-A to mini-USB cable.

​
Charging Time and Method

  • Time for full charge: ~12 hours.
  • Above that value, charging current decreases and it can remain connected without risk.
  • Red LED (CHG) indicates charging in progress.
  • LED remains on while unit is connected to charger, even when turned off.
  • Also charges when connected via USB to a computer.
