QUICK GUIDE (example)
FOR THE FIRST USE OF THE MIXER.
• With the mixer turned off, connect active speakers (or a stereo amplifier) to
the MAIN MIX [24] outputs on the rear panel.
• Make sure that all the level controls of the mixer (the „faders") are set to – ∞.
• In sequence, turn the mixer on (using the POWER ON [31] switch), followed
by the active speakers connected.
• Connect a dynamic microphone (using a balanced cable) to the XLR connector
(MIC input) of channel 1. If you are using a condenser or electret microphone,
you must also enable the „Phantom" power using the +48V switch [30]).
• Press the SOLO key of the channel and make sure that the PFL / AFL key (next
to the OUTPUT LEVEL LED bar) is set to PFL.
• Speak or sing into the microphone, and at the same time increase the level of
the GAIN control of the channel so that the OUTPUT LEVEL LED bar indicates
a value of about 0 dB.
• Release the SOLO key of the channel.
• Make sure that the MUTE key of the channel is released and press the L-R key.
• Raise the level control (the „fader") of the channel up to a value of 0 dB.
• Carefully raise the level control (the „fader") of the MAIN MIX main outputs
[14] until you reach the desired volume of the speakers.
