Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15.This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no object filled with liquids, such as vases or beer glasses, shall be placed on the apparatus.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK) NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure, that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

16.Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

17.The MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, so the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

18.NOTE: 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:

ss 2EORIENT ORERELOCATE THE RECEIVING ANTENNA

ss )NCREASE THE SEPARATIONEBETWEENPTHEREQUIPMENTNANDBTHETRECEIVER

ss#ONNECTNTHECEQUIPMENTEINTO ANUOUTLET ONNATCIRCUITTDIFFERENT FROMOTHAT TOHWHICH THE receiver is connected.

ss #ONSULTSTHELDEALER OREAN EXPERIENCED RADIO 46ATECHNICIAN FOR HELP

CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by LOUD Technologies Inc. could void the user's authority to operate the equipment under FCC

rules.

19.This apparatus does not exceed the Class A/Class B (whichever is applicable) limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.

ATTENTION — Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant las limites applicables aux appareils numériques de class A/de class B (selon le cas) prescrites dans le réglement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par les ministere des

communications du Canada.

20.Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level exposures shown in the following chart.

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels use hearing protectors while the equipment is in operation. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating the equipment in order to prevent permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set forth here:

	Duration, per	Sound Level dBA,	Typical Example
	day in hours	Slow Response
	8	90	Duo in small club
	6	92
	4	95	Subway Train
	3	97
	2	100	6ERYYLOUD CLASSICAL MUSIC
	1.5	102
	1	105	Ben screaming at Troy about deadlines
	0.5	110
	0.25 or less	115	Loudest parts at a rock concert

WARNING — To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

Chapter 1: Welcome

Master Fader V2.0 / My Fader V2.0

This is the new-and-improved version of the DL Series Reference Guide. The goal of our ninja-like Engineering team is to continue to make your experience even better, so the DL Series mixers and Master Fader / My Fader apps may be updated at any time. Be sure you are always using the latest version of each, as specific releases are designed to work together. This version of the Reference Guide is written

and designed to pair with Master Fader V2.0, My Fader V2.0 and the corresponding mixer firmware installed by these apps. With so many frequent changes, some screen shots may look slightly different than what you see within these pages and there could be some functional differences, as well.

About This Guide

***We strongly encourage checking out the Quick Start Guide before diving into this Reference Guide*** It is a great way to familiarize yourself with the basic ideas of the DL806 and DL1608, how to switch between

views, add color to a mix, gates & compressors, FX, graphic EQ and much more. Once you do that, this will be a breeze!

This guide is designed to be accessible, with subsections as complete as practical to minimize having to leaf back and forth looking for the whole story. The entire guide does not need to be read to figure out how to use this console. However, a certain amount of familiarity with analog mixing consoles, their features, and commonly used signal processing (compressors, limiters, gates, EQs) is assumed.

This guide provides the following resources:

This Reference Guide covers both mixers. The differences between the two are noted throughout. If not specifically noted, operation is the same for both mixers.

Force Update Button

The force update button is tucked in right between the power connector and network connector.

In a perfect world, this button would just sit there without a care in the world, umbrella drink in hand, beach, surf and sun on a daily basis. In all likelihood, this button will live his / her dream out, while the rest of us can only dream of such a life.

The DL Series mixers and Master Fader app do a great job at letting you know when either (or both) the software and firmware need updating, but this button here forces a complete firmware update if the need ever arrives.
