Connection of power amplifiers
Two stereo master outputs (27) are available for each zone: a balanced XLR
output and an unbalanced RCA output:
Via the routing switches Z1 to Z3 (13 or 19), the input channels can be switched
to the individual master channels as desired. With the buttons STEREO/ MONO
(23), the stereo master channels can also separately be switched to mono.
Instead of amplifiers, it is also possible to connect other subsequent units with
line input level to the master outputs, e.g. a sound recorder or a second mixer.
3.
For pre-fader listening to the stereo input channels or for monitoring the three
master channels ahead of the master level controls, connect stereo headphones
(minimum impedance 8 Ω) to the 6.3 mm jack PHONES (4).
4.
For illuminating the console, connect a gooseneck light (12 V/0.75 W max.) to the
BNC jack LAMP (1). The light is switched on or off with the mixer.
5.
Finally connect the appliance to the mains (230 V~, 50 Hz) (26).
6.
Operation
Prior to switching on, set the master level controls (24) to minimum to prevent
switching noise. Switch on the mixer with the switch POWER (2). The power LED above
the switch lights up. After operation, switch off the mixer with the switch POWER.

Basic Adjustment of the Input Channels
First, set all gain controls (7, 15), all tone controls (8, 21) and the controls BAL (9, 22)
to mid-position. Set the switches PAD (6) of the microphone channels to the upper
position.
If a stereo input channel is not used, set its fader (18) to minimum. If a microphone
channel is not used, unlock the button MIC ON (12) to switch off the microphone.
Level Control of the Stereo Channel 1-4
1.
Use the input selector switch (14) of the channel to select the desired audio
source.
2.
Feed an audio signal to the input.
3.
Set the fader (18) of the channel to approx. 2/3 of its maximum (e.g. to position
7).
4.
Use one of the three routing buttons (19) to switch the input channel to the
master channel which is to be used for level control (button Z1 for ZONE 1,
button Z2 for ZONE 2, button Z3 for ZONE 3). The LED above the button lights
up.
5.
Set the level control (24) of the master channel used to approx. 2/3 of its
maximum.
6.
Use the gain control (15) to control the input channel to an optimum level by
means of the level indication (20) of the master channel used. Adjust the gain
control in such a way that, at average volume, the level indication displays
values in the 0 dB range. If the red LEDs light up, there is overload at the
channel. If required, the control can be fully opened or closed.
The LED PEAK (17) of the input channel is also useful for controlling the level. It
should not light up or light up only briefly with signal peaks. If it lights
permanently, reduce the level of the input signal [by reducing the input
amplification (gain) or the output level of the corresponding audio source].
