ENGLISH

Danger
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a
permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably to
noise induced hearing loss but nearly everyone will lose
some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a
sufficient time.

The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) has specified the following
permissible noise level exposures:

DURATION PER DAY (HOURS)
SOUND LEVEL (dB)

According to OSHA, any exposure in the above permissible
limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or
protectors in the ear canal or over the ears must be worn
when operating this amplification system in order to prevent
a permanent hearing loss. If exposure in excess of the limits
as put forth above, to insure against potentially harmful
exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended
that all persons exposed to equipment capable of inducing
high sound pressure levels, such as this amplification
system, be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is
in operation.

Setup Instructions:
Making Connections:

• Using the Profile speaker cables, or a set of your own, connect an end of each cable into the

speaker outputs of the mixer (R & W). Then connect the opposite end of each cable to the
appropriate speaker cabinet input (Y). Hint: For ease of use, connect the right output jack (R) to the
speaker cabinet on the right side of the mixer front and connect the left output jack (W) to the
speaker cabinet on the left side of the mixer front. Doing this will ensure that the pan control (E) will
be in sync with the appropriate speaker.

• If you are using a powered monitor, connect the input of the powered monitor to the monitor output
jack (T) on the back of the mixer.

• If you are using a powered subwoofer, connect the input of the powered subwoofer to the sub output
jack (U) on the back of the mixer.

• Be sure that the power switch (S) is set to the “off” position and then attach the AC cable to the AC
input jack (X).

• Plug in the microphones and instruments you plan to use into the mic/line combination jacks (L & M).
Note: If you are using an instrument that has a stereo output connect that one to the mic/line
combination jack on channel 5 (M) using a stereo (tip/ring/sleeve) cable. If you are using a passive
acoustic instrument, you should use the mic/line combination jack on channel 5 (M) and set the
inst/line switch (H) to the inst position.

• If you are using an audio source, such as a CD player or computer, connect the output of the source
to the RCA input jacks (I) or the line input jack (J).

• If you are using a microphone with a mini (1/8”) plug, you can use the mic in jack (K) to connect to
the mixer.

Master Section:

• Turn the master volume control (3) and the monitor volume control (5) counter-clockwise to the

lowest setting.

• Set the master equalizer controls (2) to their center positions (0dB).

• If you are not using a subwoofer, set the sub volume to the center position. If you are using a

subwoofer, set the sub volume to its lowest position.

• Turn the effects volume control (6) counter-clockwise to the lowest setting.

Input Section:

• Turn all volume controls (G) counter-clockwise to their lowest positions.

• Set the pan controls (E) to their 12 o’clock positions.

• Set the treble and bass controls (C & D) to their 12 o’clock positions.

• Turn the monitor controls (B & F) counter-clockwise to their lowest positions.

• Turn the effects controls (A) counter-clockwise to their lowest positions.

Playing:

• Turn the power switch (S) to the “on” position. Note: The power indicator (4) on the front of the

mixer should now be lit.

• Turn the master volume control (3) clockwise to the 9 o’clock position and begin adjusting the
volume controls (G) of the individual channels (that you are using) clockwise to reach desired level.
After you are happy with the basic level, you then use the master volume control (3) to increase or
decrease the overall amount of volume. Note: If you are using a powered subwoofer, adjust the sub
volume slider (1) to the center position. After setting the basic level, you can then adjust this control
to increase or decrease the output of the powered subwoofer.

• Adjust the treble and bass controls (C & D) on the individual channels and the master equalizer
controls (2) to achieve the desired sound.

• Turn the master effects volume control (6) clockwise to the 9 o’clock position and begin adjusting the
effects controls (A) on the individual channel to achieve the desired amount of digital effects for each
channel. Note: You should also turn the effects selector control (7) to the desired effect selection
and press the effects active switch (0) to the “on” position.

About the Master Section

The master section gives you final control over the sum of what is happening in the input section. In other
words, the adjustments you make in this section will affect all channels evenly.

Sub Volume Control (1)

When using a powered subwoofer that is connected into the sub output jack (U), this control
becomes a volume control for the subwoofer. The output signal level can be adjusted by + or ­12dB.
When not using a powered subwoofer, this control becomes part of the equalizer section. This
control will adjust the sub frequencies by + or - 12dB.

Equalizer Controls (2)

These controls are used to adjust the sound to your taste. The individual frequencies (100Hz,
250Hz, 500Hz, 1KHz, 2KHz, 4KHz, 10KHz) can be adjusted by + or - 12dB.

Master Volume (3)

This control is used to adjust the overall output volume of the mixer. Adjusting this control will also
adjust the output of the sub output jack (U) when a powered subwoofer is used. Although the sub
volume control (1) will still adjust the output level up or down.

Power Indicator (4)

This indicator will light when power is applied to the amplifier.

Monitor Volume (5)

This control will adjust the overall output volume going to the monitor output jack (T).

Effects Volume (6)

This control will adjust the overall amount of effects that will be mixed into the outputs.

Effects Selector Switch (7)

This switch is used to select the type of digital effect you want to use. There are 16 different digital
effects to choose from. These are the available effects:

Reverb: Delay:

Small Room Doubler
Medium Room with Pre Delay Slapback
Large Room Echo
Large Hall Delay 400ms
Plate Reverb Double Take

Chorus: Combos:

Chorus Slow Double Take/Reverb
Chorus Fast Chorus/Reverb
Double Take/Chorus Chorus/Delay/Reverb

Effects To Record Out Switch (8)

This push button switch is used to send effects to the record out jacks (V) on the back of the mixer.

TM

Effects To Monitor Switch (9)

This push button switch is used to send effects to the monitor out jack (T) on the back of the mixer.

Effects Active (0)

This push button switch is used to activate the digital effects. When this switch is set to the “off”
position the effects will be bypassed.

10

About the Input Section

The input section is where you connect microphones, guitars, drum machines, keyboards, and other audio
sources.

Effects Control (A)

This control is used to send the signal from the individual channel to the digital effects. The effects
volume control (6) adjusts the overall volume for this control.

Monitor Control (B)

This control is used to send the signal from the individual channel to the monitor output jack (T).
The monitor volume control (5) adjusts the overall volume for this control.

Treble Control (C)

This control is used to adjust the amount of “high” frequency applied to the individual channel.

Bass Control (D)

This control is used to adjust the amount of “low” frequency applied to the individual channel.

Pan Control (E)

This control is used to send the signal from the individual channel to the left and/or right outputs of
the mixer. Setting this control to the 12 o’clock position will send signal equally to both left and right
outputs.

Aux Monitor Control (F)

This control will adjust the overall amount of input signal from the Aux channel that is sent to the
monitor output jack (T).

Volume Control (G)

This control will adjust the overall amount of input signal of the individual channel that is sent to the
Master Volume Control (3).

Instrument/Line Switch (H)

If you are using a string instrument, such as an acoustic guitar that has a passive pickup (non­battery powered) or an electric guitar without an amp, then you should connect it to channel five and
set this switch to instrument (“inst”). Setting the switch to instrument alters the equalization of the
channel to bring out the sweet frequencies of any string instrument, such as acoustic and electric
guitar, mandolin, cello, violin, or other stringed instruments.

RCA Input Jacks (I)

These jacks are used to connect any audio device that uses the RCA type plugs. Note: There are
left and right inputs which are automatically kept stereo through the entire system. Basically, what is
connected to the left input will come out of the left speaker. The same is true for the right.

Aux Line In Jack (J)

This jack accepts a stereo (tip/ring/sleve) 1/8” plug. This should be used to connect a device with a
line level output such as a CD player or computer.

Mic In Jack (K)

This jack can be used to connect a microphone that has a 1/8” plug such as a computer microphone.
This jack has phantom power for microphones that require it.

Combination Input Jacks (L)

These jacks are used to connect any audio source to the mixer, such as microphones, guitars,
keyboards, drum machines, CD players, etc. These mono jacks will accept either 1/4” plugs or XLR
type plugs.

Methods for connecting inputs to channels

Method 1: Microphone using XLR balanced inputs -

This is the most popular method for connecting microphones. It works with both dynamic and condenser low
impedance microphones. Acoustic guitars that have XLR balanced outputs can also use this input. Because of the
phantom power on these inputs, a battery
may not be needed. Check the
manufacturer of your instrument for use
without a battery.

BALANCED MIC CABLE

Method 2: Line level instrument using line input and a hi-z instrument cable-

This method uses the mono line output through a hi-z instrument cable.
Pros: A quick simple way to get an instrument into the PA without special cables or adapters. This method gives
good results in most situations for short distances.
Cons: Using an un-balanced cable longer than 25 feet runs the risk
of hum and noise. Using this method in CH5 does not take
advantage of its full stereo input feature.

Method 3: instrument with passive pickup using hi-z input and cable (CH 5 only)-

This method uses the hi-z (hi impedance) feature of channel 5. For best results, have the inst/line switch in
the instrument (pressed in) position. This channel will automatically switch to mono mode using this method.
Pros: A quick simple way to get a low output passive
pickup instrument into the PA without special battery
powered adapters.
Cons: You run the risk of hum, noise and de-graded signal
if cables longer than 15 feet are used.

CH 5 INPUT

This method is for connecting devices that have 1/8” stereo or RCA line level outputs. The stereo
separation of the device is maintained throughout the system. Headphone outputs can also be used as
long as the level is kept low enough to prevent overloading the input. It is OK to use all three aux inputs at
once.
Pros: Provides a quick simple way to get pre-recorded music
into the PA. All three of the aux inputs can be used together.
Cons: Right/left panning (balance) must be done with the input
device.

Method 5: Unbalanced condenser mic with 1/8” plug

This method is for connecting 1/8” mono or stereo condenser microphones typically used with computers. The ring and
tip are typically tied together on mono microphones. The phantom supply is less voltage than the other Mic inputs.
Pros: Provides a quick simple way to connect small Mics. The other two aux inputs can be used together with this mic
input so in a way, it’s like getting an extra Mic channel.
Cons: Caution must be taken to not create feedback in the system
with this type of Mic. There are many low quality microphones of this
type that offer little or no feedback rejection.

About the Input Section (Cont.)

Combination Input Jack (M)

This jack functions the same as the other combination jacks (L) except the 1/4” input can be stereo,
mono, or hi-Z mono. String instrument s, such as acoustic guitar that have a p assive pickup (non­battery powered) are typically hi-z mono and will work best in this channel. Line level stereo
instruments such as electronic keyboards and drum machines are excellent choices for this channel,
because it maintains the instrument’s stereo signal through the two separate preamps of channel 5.
There is no need to be concerned if the instrument is stereo or mono because the channel
automatically switches to mono if no signal is present on the ring of the 1/4” input, or if a standard
mono guitar cord is used. In the stereo mode, the tip is assigned to the left preamp and the ring to
the right preamp of channel 5. When no signal is present on the ring, or if a mono 1/4" plug is used,
the signal present on the tip will be assigned to both left and right preamps of channel 5.

Methods for connecting instruments to channel 5

Method 1: Stereo using individual left and right line outputs of an electronic instrument -

This method maintains stereo integrity from the instrument to speakers taking full advantage of the stereo feature
channel 5 offers.

Pros: Delivers a full rich sound on instruments with stereo effects.
Cons: May require a 1/4” Stereo Adapter wire if

your instrument does not have a single stereo
jack.

Method 2: Stereo using Headphone output-

This method gives the same result as the first method with a single cable. The headphone volume on the
instrument should set for a good mix in the PA when channel 5 volume is half way up. If the headphone volume is
too high, it can overload channel 5 and sound distorted.

Pros: Same as method 1 but with less clutter.
Cons: The musician playing the instrument

must remember that too much headphone level
can distort the channel.

The Profile System Two mixer and speakers have been specifically designed
and optimized for use together as a package. The mixer has been designed to
deliver maximum power with a 4-ohm load on each channel. If you choose to use
different speakers with the mixer, refer to the chart below for loading information.

Total load on amplifier Note: To prevent overheating and possible loss of signal, do

not use any combination of cabinets that results in a box that is shaded.

Cabinet A’s Impedance (ohms)

This chart can help you determine what load (ohms) is present on the amplifier when using
multiple cabinets. - To use this chart with two cabinets (A and B), find cabinet A’s impedance (ohms)
column and cabinet B’s impedance row on the chart. The total load on the amplifier is shown in the
box where they meet. For example: If cabinet A’s impedance is 8 ohms and cabinet B’s impedance is
4 ohms, the total load on the amplifier would be 2.67 ohms.

- To use this chart with three or more cabinets, find the total load for two cabinets and then use the
result for cabinet A’s impedance column. The third cabinet will then be used for cabinet B’s impedance
row on the chart. Find the total load on the amplifier and repeat if more cabinets are used. For
example (using 3 cabinets): If the first cabinet (cabinet A) has an impedance of 16 ohms and the
second (cabinet B) has an impedance of 8 ohms, the total load would be 5.33 ohms. Using this load
(5.33) as cabinet A’s impedance and a third cabinet’s (new cabinet B) impedance of 4 ohms, you
would find that the total load on the amplifier is 2.29 ohms. Note: It is not recommended to use any
combination of cabinets that has a resulting load in a shaded area of the chart.
