IMPORTANT:
The manufacturer will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by the non-observance of this manual or any unauthorized modification to the system.
Never let the power-cord come into contact with other cables! Handle the power-cord and all connections with the mains with particular caution!
Never remove warning or informative labels from the unit.
Never use anything to cover the ground contact.
Never leave any cables lying around.
Do not insert objects into air vents.
Do not connect this system to a dimmer pack.
Do not switch the system on and off in short intervals, as this would reduce the system’s life.
Do not open the device and do not modify the device.
Do not drive the inputs with a signal level bigger, than required to drive the equipment to full output.
Do not plug Mics into the console (or stage box) while Phantom Power is on. Also mute the monitor / Pa system when turning Phantom Power on or off. Allow the system to adjust for a couple of seconds, before setting the input gains.
Only use system indoor, avoid contact with water or other liquids.
Avoid flames and do not put close to flammable liquids or gases.
Always disconnect power from the mains, when system is not used. Only handle the power-cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power-cord.
Always operate the unit with the AC ground wire connected to the electrical system ground.
Make sure you don’t use the wrong kind of cables or defective cables.
Make sure that the signals into the mixer are balanced, otherwise hum could be created.
Make sure you use DI boxes to balance unbalanced signals; All incoming signals should be clear.
Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than stated on the rear panel.
Make sure that the power-cord is never crimped or damaged. Check the system and the powercord from time to time.
Please turn off the power switch, when changing the power cord or signal cable, or select the input mode switch.
Extreme frequency boosts in connection with a high input signal level may lead to overdriving your equipment. Should this occur, it is necessary to reduce the input signal level by using the INPUT control.
To emphasize a frequency range, you don’t necessarily have to move its respective control upward; try lowering surrounding frequency ranges instead. This way, you avoid causing the next piece of equipment in your sound path to overdrive. You also preserve valuable dynamic reserve
(“headroom”)
Avoid ground loops! Always be sure to connect the power amps and the mixing console to the same electrical circuit to ensure the same phase!
If system is dropped or struck, disconnect mains power supply immediately. Have a qualified engineer inspect for safety before operating.
If the system has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your system. Leave the system switched off until it has reached room temperature.
If your Dap Audio device fails to work properly, discontinue use immediately. Pack the unit securely (preferably in the original packing material)and return it to your Dap Audio dealer for service.
Repairs, servicing and electric connection must be carried out by a qualified technician.
For replacement use fuses of same type and rating only.
WARRANTY: Till one year after date of purchase.

Control Elements
Elements section 1
1. MIC INPUT JACKS (CHs 1 to 19/20)
Electronically balanced XLR-type inputs for connecting low-impedance microphones. The input provides extremely low noise and low hum signal processing. When connecting a microphone make sure that the pin assignment is correct. Always make sure to read the manual of the microphone you want to connect. The XLR-inputs are not suitable for connecting line level signals like an additional mixing console, FX-unit, etc. You have to use the LINE-inputs, when connecting this kind of equipment.
The balanced XLR input can be connected to microphones, DI boxes and multicores.
2. LINE INPUT JACKS (CHs 1 to 16)
Electronically balanced inputs (¼" jack connector) for connecting a keyboard, CD player, mixer, etc. You can connect balanced or unbalanced signal sources to the LINE input. Do not connect signal devices to a channel’s MIC and LINE input at the same time. This will cause mutual interference, which results in level reduction.
3. LOW CUT
Press the LOW CUT switch to activate the high-pass filter which blends out low-frequency
noise (100 Hz, 18 dB/octave). This function can be used to cut the humming sound or to prevent resonances of low frequencies, when the speakers are placed in close distance.
4. INSTRUMENT
Press this button to transform the input into an hi-impedance input. It can be used if you connect a guitar directly on the input.
5. GAIN CONTROL
With the GAIN control you can adjust the MIC or LINE input-sensitivity, while optimally matching the incoming signals to the mixer’s internal operation level. Be sure to set this control fully counter-clockwise before you connect or disconnect a signal source to or from one of the inputs.
STEREO: The value range between 0 and +50 refers to the microphone input, indicating the degree of amplification applied to the input's signal.
6. COMPRESSOR CONTROL
Adjust the amount of compression applied to the channel. Turn the control to the right to increase the compression ratio and the output gain will automatically be adjusted. The result is smoother, even more dynamics, because louder signals are attenuated when the overall level is boosted.
