Step 4
Getting Sound to the Speakers
1.
Turn on (
) the [PFL] switches for each chan-
nel you are using.
NOTE
When you turn on the [PFL] switch for a channel, you can
monitor the signal for that channel through headphones con-
nected to the [Phones] jack. The level of the signal is also
shown on the level meter indicator, allowing you to more
accurately check signal levels. After checking levels, turn the
[PFL] switches off.
When a [PFL] switch is turned on, the [PFL] indicator below
the level meter flashes.
2.
While playing your instrument or speaking into
a microphone, adjust the input signal with the
[GAIN] knob until it goes past the “0” (
<
) posi-
tion on the level meter only occasionally.
NOTE
If you connect a portable audio player, synthesizer, or other
equipment to a stereo input channel that has no [GAIN] knob,
adjust the output level on the connected device.
3.
Turn on (
) the [ON] switches for each chan-
nel you are using.
4.
Turn on (
) the [ST] switches for each chan-
nel you are using.
5.
Turn off (
) all [PFL] switches.
Confirm that the [PFL] indicator below the level meter is off.
6.
Turn on (
) the [ON] switch for the [STEREO]
master.
7.
Raise the [STEREO] master fader to the “0”
position.
8.
Set the channel faders to create the desired
initial balance.
9.
Adjust the overall volume of the [STEREO]
master fader.
The overall headphone level is adjusted by the [PHONES]
knob.
NOTE
If the level meter [PEAK] indicator lights frequently, slightly
lower the channel faders to avoid distortion.
