QUICK START MIC AND ACOUSTIC GUITAR

In this example we connect an acoustic guitar to Chan 1, and a
Mic to Chan 2.

1. Set Battery Switch to “Connect”

2. With “Speaker Volume” turned down, Turn “Power Switch” to
“On” position.

3. Connect the Line Level Output of your acoustic guitar into

Chan 1, Line 1/4” input jack. Note: Chan 1 Source is set to

“Mic/Line.”

4. Connect your Mic to Chan 2, XLR input jack. Note: Chan 2
Source is set to “Mic/Line.”

5. Set input levels. Press “System”; the LCD shows a level bar

graph for each channel. Adjust rear panel “Gain” control until

the display shows -12dB for Guitar and Mic.

5A. Adjust Master Volume for desired output level.

6. Set Mic Mix, EQ, and Reverb.

6A. Press “Main” adjust chan 2 encoder to +9, i.e., approxi-

mately 75% of max level.
6B. Press Chan 2 Encoder: LCD shows EQ parameters for

Chan 2. Adjust 5 encoders as necessary to set your EQ.
For our example we’ll set “LowC” to 180 Hz, “Low” to +4.0,
“Mid” to +5, “MidF” to 2.0k and “Hi” to +2.0.
6C. Press “Reverb” Chan 2 encoder +2.0.

7. Repeat step 6 for Chan 1 (acoustic guitar) Mix, EQ, and Re-

verb.

8. Start with master EQ, Low, Mid, and High set at (detent

position) and adjust as needed.

To Avoid Distortion:

1. Make sure NOT to clip the input Signals.

2. Set input levels. Press “System”; the LCD shows a lev-

el bar graph for each channel. Adjust rear panel “Gain”

control until the display shows -12dB for Guitar and Mic.
