ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL

ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL

 Never repair a fuse or bypass the fuse holder. Always replace a damaged fuse with a fuse of the same

type and electrical specifications!

 In the event of serious operating problems, stop using the appliance and contact your dealer immediately.
 Please use the original packing when the device is to be transported.
 Due to safety reasons it is prohibited to make unauthorized modifications to the unit.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:

 Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not be exposed to high temperatures or humidity.
 Placing and using the unit for long periods near heat-generating sources such as amplifiers, spotlights, etc.

will affect its performance and may even damage the unit.

 The unit can be mounted in 19-inch racks. Attach the unit using the 4 screw holes on the front panel. Be

sure to use screws of the appropriate size. (screws not provided).
Take care to minimize shocks and vibrations during transport.

 When installed in a booth or flight case, please make sure to have good ventilation to improve heat

evacuation of the unit.

 To avoid condensation to be formed inside, allow the unit to

adapt to the surrounding temperatures when bringing it into
a warm room after transport. Condense sometimes
prevents the unit from working at full performance.

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE:

Clean by wiping with a polished cloth slightly dipped with
water. Avoid getting water inside the unit. Do not use volatile
liquids such as benzene or thinner which will damage the unit.

CONNECTIONS

For more information on connections, please refer to the next
chapter.
Be sure to turn off the mixer before you make changes to the
different connections.
In this manual we talk about “line inputs”. This is a global
name for inputs with a level between 750mV and 2V. This
includes tuners, videos, CD-players, etc.

The mono/stereo combination input channels have a sensitivity of +20dB to-20dB

3. HPF(High-Pass Filter)

This switch toggles the HPF on or off. To turn the HPF on, press the switch In ( ). The HPF cut

frequencies below 75Hz

4. EQUALIZER

MONO CHANNEL

This 3-band equalizer adjusts the channel’s high, mid and low frequency bands. Setting the knob to the “0”
position produces a flat frequency response .Turning the knob to the right boosts the corresponding
frequency band ,while turning to the left cuts the band.
For the mid tones, you can select the exact frequency that you want to adjust with the blue FREQ button.
You can select a frequency from 100HZ to 8KHz. Then you can boost or reduce the level of this frequency
by turning the white mid level button.
The following table shows the EQ type, frequency, and maximum cut/boost for each of the three bands.

STEREO CH ANNEL

This 4-band equalizer adjusts the channel’s high, high-mid, low-mid and low frequency bands. Setting the
knob to the “0” position produces a flat frequency response .Turning the knob to the right boosts the
corresponding frequency band, while turning to the left cuts the band. The following tables shows the EQ
type, base frequenc y, and maximum cut/boost for each of the 4 bands.

FUNCTIONS

INPUT CHANNEL CONTROL

1. PEAK LED INDICATOR

This LED indicator shows the level of the signal input of the
channel. The peak indicator lights up when the input signal
reaches 5dB below the channel’s clipping point. This indicator
shows the level of the Post-EQ/ pre-fader signal. If the PEAK
indicator lights more than briefly on high-level transients, you
should use the TRIM control to decrease the input sensitivity
of the channel. If this does not work, reduce the output level
of the connected source.

2. TRIM CONTROL

According to the level of the input signal, use this knob to
adjust the input to an appropriate level. The best balance of
S/N and dynamic range will be achieved if you adjust the
TRIM control so that the peak indicator lights occasionally.
This control adjusts the channel’s MIC input sensitivity
between -50dB and -6dB and the line input sensitivity
between -30dB and +14dB.

5. AUX CONTROL

AUX 1 CONTROL

This AUX1 knob controls the signal level that the channel sends to the AUX1 bus.
If you are using stereo channels, the signals from the L and R channels are mixed and send to the AUX1
bus.
These controls are placed before the channel fader (pré-fader), what means that it’s level in not influenced
by the position of the channel fader. Pré-fader aux outputs are mainly used to control stage monitors

AUX 2 CONTROL

The AUX2 knob controls the signal level that the channel sends to the AUX2 bus.
If you are using stereo channels, the signals from the L and R channels are mixed and send to the AUX1
bus.
The AUX 2 controls can be switched as pré fader or post fader controls. Pré-fader aux outputs are not
influenced by the position of the channel fader an d are mainly used to control stage monitors. Post-fader Aux
outputs are also influenced by the channel faders and are mainly used with effect modules.

6. PRE/POST SWITCH

This button determines whether the AUX2 signal will be used in Pre or Post fader configuration. Pre means
not affected by the position of the channel fader. Post means is affected by the position of the channel fader.
Note that switch applies to AUX2 only.
