ENGLISH
When installed in a booth or flight case, please make sure to have good ventilation to improve heat
evacuation of the unit.
To avoid condensation to be formed inside, allow the unit to adapt to the surrounding temperatures when
bringing it into a warm room after transport. Condense sometimes prevents the unit from working at full
performance.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE:
Clean by wiping with a polished cloth slightly dipped with
water. Avoid getting water inside the unit. Do not use
volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which will
damage the unit.
CONNECTIONS
For more information on connections, please refer to the
next chapter.
Be sure to turn off the mixer before you make changes to
the different connections.
In this manual we talk about "line inputs". This is a global
name for inputs with a level between 750mV and 2V. This
includes tuners, videos, CD-players, etc.
FUNCTIONS
INPUT CHANNEL CONTROL
1.
PEAK LED INDICATOR
This LED indicator shows the level of the signal input of the
channel. The peak indicator lights up when the input signal
reaches 5dB below the channel's clipping point. This
indicator shows the level of the Post-EQ/ pre-fader signal. If
the PEAK indicator lights more than briefly on high-level
transients, you should use the TRIM control to decrease the
input sensitivity of the channel. If this does not work, reduce
the output level of the connected source.
2. TRIM CONTROL
According to the level of the input signal, use this knob to
adjust the input to an appropriate level. The best balance of
S/N and dynamic range will be achieved if you adjust the
TRIM control so that the peak indicator lights occasionally.
This control adjusts the channel's MIC input sensitivity
between -50dB and -6dB and the line input sensitivity
between -30dB and +14dB.
The mono/stereo combination input channels have a
sensitivity of +20dB to-20dB

HPF(High-Pass Filter)
This switch toggles the HPF on or off. To turn the HPF on, press the switch In (
frequencies below 75Hz
4. EQUALIZER
This 3-band equalizer adjusts the channel's high, mid and low frequency bands. Setting the knob to the "0"
position produces a flat frequency response .Turning the knob to the right boosts the corresponding
frequency band ,while turning to the left cuts the band.
The following table shows the EQ type, frequency, and maximum cut/boost for each of the three bands.
5. AUX CONTROL
The AUX knob controls the signal level that the channel sends to the AUX bus.
If you are using stereo channels, the signals from the L and R channels are mixed and send to the AUX bus.
The AUX controls can be switched as pré fader or post fader controls. Pré-fader aux outputs are not
influenced by the position of the channel fader and are mainly used to control stage monitors. Post-fader Aux
outputs are also influenced by the channel faders and are mainly used with effect modules.
6. PRE/POST SWITCH
This button determines whether the AUX signal will be used in Pre or Post fader configuration. Pre means
not affected by the position of the channel fader. Post means is affected by the position of the channel fader.
7. EFX CONTROL.
This knob controls the level of the signals sent to the EFX bus (to the EFX SEND jack on the front panel and
to the internal effect module). The channel signals mixed by this bus have their overall level set by the EFX
SEND Control.
Since this control is placed after the channel fader, the signal level will be affected by the channel fader's
setting.
8. PAN /BAL CONTROL
PAN (Mono Channel)
This control pans the channel signal across the master L and R busses, thus determining the perceived
position of the sound from that channel in the output stereo sound field. If a PAN control is set all the way to
the left, for example, the sound from that channel will be heard from the left speaker system only.
If it is set all the way to the right, the sound will be heard from the right speaker system only.
Intermediate settings will cause the sound to appear at corresponding locations in the stereo sound field.
BALANCE (Stereo Channel)
This control adjusts the balance or the L/R position of the stereo input signal.
Turning the BALANCE control to the left of center moves the apparent source toward the MAIN MIX L bus,
turning it to the right moves the source toward the MAIN MIX R bus.
9. MUTE/ALT 3-4 SWITCH
When the Mute/ALT 3-4 switch is pressed, the channel output will be routed to the ALT 3-4 output instead of
the main L/R out.
The ALT 3-4 bus offers you a second independent stereo sub mix with its own sub master stereo fader.
The switch lights up orange to indicate that the mute function is on.
10. PFL SWITCH
When this switch is pressed, the channel input signal can be routed to the PFL bus.
