9. Pick up a microphone (or other source) and use
it at the intended level while slowly turning up
the corresponding channel Level knob. Watch the
signal LED above the Level knob occasionally. It
illuminates green with an input signal level present,
yellow when the input signal gets closer to clipping,
and red during clipping (distorting). If you see
red, reduce the input signal level at the source or
engage the PAD switch to avoid signal distortion
and overloading the amplifier's input stage.

signal level meters. If you
