Mic1, Mic2/Line Inputs; Line1, Line2, Line3 Inputs; Integrated Audio Player (Media Player) - Ecler HMA120 Notice D'utilisation

4.1. MIC1, MIC2/LINE Inputs

These 2 inputs can work simultaneously, so they can be mixed using their MIC1 and MIC2/LINE
level controls on the front panel, and this mix can be equalised with the BASS and TREBLE controls,
also located on the front panel. The selected music program (LINE1, LINE2, LINE3 or MEDIA) is also
mixed with these inputs signal.
In addition, they have the following features.
•
Noise Gate: allows you to minimize the effect of ambient noise picked up by microphones
connected to these inputs. It is enabled by DIP switch on the side of the unit, and common to
both inputs.
•
Talkover or priority: if the Talkover function is activated for a MIC input, its microphone signal
will cause an attenuation of the music program (and also an attenuation of the other
microphone, provided that its Talkover function is not enabled or not of higher priority) when
the microphone exceeds the detection threshold. The Talkover function of the MIC1 input has
a higher priority than the MIC2/LINE input. Both functions are independently enabled using
DIP switches on the left side of the unit.

4.2. LINE1, LINE2, LINE3 Inputs

These 3 inputs for music sources cannot work simultaneously. You need to select one of them (or
the integrated audio player, considered as a fourth music source) using the selection keys on the front
panel. These keys are provided with backlight to indicate the active source at any time.
The selected music source (LINE1, LINE2, LINE3 or MEDIA, integrated audio player) has a level
control (MUSIC) that allows you to adjust the output volume and, therefore, the mixing with the other
signals that are active at that time (MIC1 and/or MIC2/LINE).
The BASS - TREBLE tone controls of the MUSIC section also act on the selected music input
(LINE1, LINE2, LINE3 or MEDIA, integrated audio player).

4.3. Integrated Audio Player (MEDIA PLAYER)

A USB memory device or a SD/SDHC memory card can be used as mp3(*) file storage media for
playback. When you connect one of these storage media, the unit automatically analyses it and, if
compatible for playback, enables it as player source (its LED indicator is permanently lit (15, 17)). While
a device is enabled, any other device inserted into the unit will be recognized (flashing LED, if it contains
readable data), but not enabled: to enable a SD card when the USB reader is already enabled, you must
first disconnect the USB device to insert the SD card and enable this last one (or vice versa).
Controls and connectors for the integrated audio player or MEDIA PLAYER are on the right
section of the front panel:
•
Connector for USB memory devices (16)
•
Connector for SD/SDHC memory cards (14)
•
Forward and rewind keys (11 and 8):
o A short press, while in playback mode, skips playback to the next/previous track
o Pressing and holding the key FAST FORWARD or REWIND the playback of the
current track
•
Playback key, PLAY/PAUSE (10):
o The first press activates the playback mode of the tracks on the active device
(continuously lit LED)
o The second press activates the playback pause mode of the tracks on the active
device (flashing LED)
•
Stop key, STOP (9)
•
Repeat tracks/folders key, REPEAT (12):
o By default (LED off), the device plays back all the tracks in infinite loop mode
o The first press activates the repetition of the current track (continuously lit LED)
o The second press activates the repetition of the current folder (flashing LED)
