Getting Started Connections Basic Operations Effector Function Fader Start USB Utility Specifications Troubleshooting Basic Operations Preparations MIC (mic input) MONITOR (headphones output) 1 Set the POWER switch to ON. 2 Use the SOURCE SELECT controls to select the sources (LN1-LN4, D1-D4, USB) of channels 1 to 4 which are to be used. Use the CD/PHONO line input selector buttons of the lines to set the CD or PHONO as the line input. 3 Check the level meter, and adjust the input levels using the channel input level controls (LEVEL controls). 4 Adjust the sound quality using the HI, MID, LOW channel isolator EQ controls. 5 Determine where the channel signals are to be assigned using the CROSSFADER ASSIGN switches (A/THRU/B). Set these switches to the THRU position if the Crossfader is not going to be used. 6 Adjust the volume level using the Channel Fader and Crossfader. 7 Adjust the output level using the MASTER LEVEL control. 1 When using a microphone, press the MIC1 or MIC2 button to set it to ON. 2 Adjust the MIC1 volume level using the MIC1 TRIM control, and adjust the MIC2 volume level using the MIC2 TRIM control. While inputting the audio signals to the unit, monitor the LEDs on the SIG/PK (signal/peak) meter. If the LEDs occasionally light up red but there is no distortion and the LEDs then light up amber, the suitable level has been reached as a result of the adjustment process. 3 Adjust the sound quality using the MIC EQ controls (HI/LOW). 4 When the DUCKING ON/OFF button is set to ON, all outputs except the mic sound will be attenuated when the signals from the microphone are supplied. 5 To add the effect functions to the mic input, set the Mic EFX INS buttons to ON. Ducking function This function detects the mic input and attenuates the level of the music signals in the master output. It prevents the sound from the microphone from being drowned out by the music when a microphone is used. 1 Select the source to be monitored using the CUE buttons of the channels. When a source is selected, the LED in the CUE button lights. CUE monitoring for channels 1 to 4 as well as EFX 1 and EFX 2 can be selected. 2 Selecting the STEREO or SPLIT CUE mode. Use the SPLIT CUE button to select the STEREO or SPLIT CUE mode. When the mode is selected, the LED in the SPLIT CUE button lights. In the SPLIT CUE (monaural) mode, the signals selected for cue are output to the left channel speaker of the headphones, and the master signals are output to the right channel speaker. In the STEREO mode, the master signals and signals selected for cue are output in stereo. 3 Use the headphones PAN control to adjust the balance between the cue signals and master output signals. When it is turned counterclockwise, only the cue signals are output from the headphones; conversely, when it is turned clockwise, only the master output signals are output. 4 Use the HEADPHONES LEVEL control to adjust the headphones output to the desired level. 1 To enable the ducking function, set the DUCKING ON/ OFF button to ON. The LED in the button will light. 2 The attenuation level of the master output while the ducking function is operating can be set within a range from -30 dB +/-10 dB in the Utility mode. 8
