 The unit can be mounted in 19-inch racks. Attach the unit using the 4 screw holes on the front panel. Be
sure to use screws of the
Take care to minimize shocks and vibrations during transport.
 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
3. HPF(High-Pass Filter)
This switch toggles the HPF on or off. To turn the HPF on,
press the switch In ( ). The HPF cut frequencies below
75Hz
4. EQUALIZER
MONO CHANNEL
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.
For the mid tones, you can select the exact frequency that you want to adjust with the blue FREQ button.
You can select a frequency from 100HZ to 8KHz. Then you can boost or reduce the level of this frequency
by turning the white mid level button.
The following table shows the EQ type, frequency, and maximum cut/boost for each of the three bands.
STEREO CHANNEL
This 4-band equalizer adjusts the channel's high, high-mid, low-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, base frequency, and maximum cut/boost for each of the 4 bands.
5. AUX CONTROL
AUX 1 CONTROL
This AUX1 knob controls the signal level that the channel sends to the AUX1 bus.
If you are using stereo channels, the signals from the L and R channels are mixed and send to the AUX1
bus.
These controls are placed before the channel fader (pre-fader), what means that its level is not influenced by
the position of the channel fader. Pre-fader aux outputs are mainly used to control stage monitors
AUX 2 CONTROL
The AUX2 knob controls the signal level that the channel sends to the AUX2 bus.
If you are using stereo channels, the signals from the L and R channels are mixed and send to the AUX2
bus.
The AUX 2 controls can be switched as pré fader or post fader controls. Pre-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 AUX2 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.
Note that switch applies to AUX2 only.
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.
