This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by SLM Electronics could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment under FCC rules.

1.PEAK LED: This LED illuminates when the input signal nears clipping. During normal operation, this LED will flash on strong signal peaks. If the LED remains illuminated, depress the Pad switch (#9) and/or reduce the level of the signal connected to the input jack (#10,11).
2.HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high frequency level for the channel.
3.MID: Use this control to adjust the midrange frequency level for the channel.
4.LOW: Use this control to adjust the low frequency level for the channel.
5.MON: Use this control to adjust the amount of the channel’s signal sent to the monitors.
6.EFFECT: Use this control to adjust the amplitude of the internal DSP effect (or external effects, if used) to be applied to the channel’s signal.
7.PAN: Use this control to adjust the left-to-right balance of the channel’s signal.
8.LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the channel’s output signal level.
9.PAD: Use this switch to accommodate “hot” input signals. (Signals too strong to allow a useful setting of the gain control without causing the Peak LED - #1- to remain illuminated.) Depress this switch to engage the 20dB pad, thereby reducing the input signal’s level to a more useable range.
10.HIGH-Z LINE: Use this jack to connect the output signal from a high impedance microphone or a line level signal (such as an instrument, rhythm machine, tape deck, etc.) to the mixer by means of a shielded cable terminated with a male 1/4” plug. Tip = “+,” ring = “–,” sleeve = shield.
11.MIC: Use this jack to connect the output signal from a low impedance microphone to the mixer by means of a shielded cable terminated with a male XLR plug. Pin 2 = “+,” pin 3 = “–,” pin 1 = shield.
