Master Level - Use this level control to set your volume output. Try never to send an output of more
than +4dB to your sytem. Signal at levels higher than this will start to distord and may cause damage
to your system and speakers. Remeber that a distorded signal from you mixer will only be multiplied
throughout your system.

Channel Trim Level - The channel trim levels are not to be used as volume controls, never use the
channel trim to set the output volume. These controls are used to aid in distortion control. Use these
control to preset your signal level before the crossfader. With your channel faders in the maximum
position, use the channel trim level to set an average output level of about +4dB on you master level
meter.

Headphones - To avoid sever hearing damage alway be sure the headphone level is set to minimum
before plugging them in. Never put the headphone on without making sure the headphone level is
turned down.

Main Mic - The main mic connector uses a Nuetrik combo plug which allows you to connect either
a 1/4" unbalanced jack or by a standart 3-pin XLR balanced connector. The main mic also has an
indipendent volume control with seperate high and low level adjustments. When feedback occures
when using the mic, try lowering the "low" level this may reduce the feedback. Always leave the mic
level to it's minimum level when not in use.

PHONO/AUX/LINE SWITCH (5) - This switch is used to change the selected input from phono
to line and vice versa. Channels 1 and 2 may be switched PHONO/AUX or LINE. Channel 3
