Setting Up Setting Up Setup Procedure 1 Before connecting to microphones and instruments, be sure that all devices are turned off. Also be sure that all of the channel controls and all of the controls in the Master Control section are turned to their minimum settings. 2 For each connection, connect one end of the cable to the relevant microphone or instrument and connect the other end to the appropriate input jack on the mixer. Setup Examples NOTE Where an input channel provides both a MIC INPUT jack and a LINE INPUT jack, you may use either one of these jacks but you may not use both at the same time. Please connect to only one of these jacks on each channel. 3 To avoid causing damage to speakers, power up the devices in the following order: Peripheral devices → mixer → power amps (or powered speakers). NOTE When shutting the system down, turn off the power in the opposite order: Power amps (powered speakers) → mixer → peripheral devices.
