If

you're

like

most

you're

probably

in

a

hurry

to

AC

volt-

age

marked

on

the

rear

of

your

mixer.

•

Use

only

a

grounded

(3

prong)

power

outlet

to

prevent

a

shock

hazard

(do

not

bypass).

This

also

gives

the

quietest

grounding

for

your

mixer.

B.

CONNECTING

INPUTS

TO

YOUR

For

balanced

microphones,

use

a

MIC

inputs.

•

For

high

output

devices

like

instruments

&

key-

boards,

plug

into

the

LINE

input

jacks

using

a

shield-

ed

cable.

•

Set

the

MIC

IN

switch

"OUT"

for

instruments

or

"IN"

for

microphones.

C.

TURNING

YOUR

MIXER

ON

•

Set

all

channel

and

master

LEVEL

controls

to

their

OFF

positions

•

Set

all

HI,

MID,

and

BASS

controls

and

the

graphic

equalizers

to

their

center

"flat"

(no

boost

or

cut)

posi-

tion.

•

Connect

your

speakers

at

the

front

panel.

•

Turn

the

mixer

on

by

the

FEATURES

1.

XLR

MICROPHONE

INPUT

The

XLR

MIC

input

is

designed

for

balanced

low

impedance

microphones.

The

high

performance,

low

noise

preamps

do

a

superb

job

of

noise

reduction.

The

XLR

connector

is

wired

as

per

the

industry

stan-

dard,

pin

1

is

ground,

pin

2

is

non

-inverting

(positive),

and

pin

3

is

1-4)

The

LINE

input

is

a

1/4"

designed

for

bal-

anced

or

unbalanced

instruments.

Examples

of

these

inputs

would

be

guitar,

keyboard

or

effect

returns.

The

line

can

be

used

at

the

same

time

the

can

also

be

used

for

returning

another

+20DB

GAIN

SWITCH

(CH

1-4)

The

+20DB

STEREO

GRAPHIC

EQ

When

the

EQ

sliders

are

in

their

center

position,

they

do

not

affect

the

audio

signal.

When

EQ

sliders

are

raised

or

lowered

from

this

position,

they

boost

or

cut

a

narrow

frequency

band.

For

tone

enhancement

you

may

want

to

raise

the

80Hz

and

160Hz

sliders

(for

deeper

bass)

and

the

6kHz

and

12kHz

sliders

(for

crisper

highs)

while

reduc-

ing

the

400Hz,

800Hz

and

2kHz

sliders

in

a

moder-

ate

"curve".

To

help

prevent

feedback,

microphones

should

be

placed

behind

the

main

speakers.

To

reduce

feedback

in

the

low

frequency

range,

try

lowering

one

of

the

80Hz

or

160Hz

sliders.

High

fre-

quency

feedback

is

usually

reduced

by

lowering

the
