MONO INPUT CHANNELS
1. BALANCED INPUT
Electronically balanced input for standard XLR
connectors. Features a 48V phantom power (to be
switched on via (35))
2. LINE INPUT
This unbalanced input accepts balanced and
unbalanced microphones, turntables, keyboard, etc.
3. LOW CUT
This push button improves the use of the
microphone. When the low cut function is activated
you have fewer problems with noise, interference
and pop noises.
4. TRIM
This function allows you to set the input sensitivity
of each channel to the constant level of the input
signal.
5. HIGH
Sets the high frequencies on each channel. Leave
this knob in the “0” position first. Set the signal once
the music has started to play in order not to damage
the speakers. Turn cw to increase the higher
frequencies and ccw to reduce them.
6. FREQUENCY & MID
This equalization function has a “bell” reaction with
a fixed Q fader of 1.5. The frequency can be set
between 100 & 8000 Hz and the volume between
-15 & +15 dB.
7. LOW
This knob sets the low frequency range of each
channel. Leave this knob in the “0” position first. Set
the signal once the music has started to play in
order not to damage the speakers. Turn cw to
increase the lower frequencies and ccw to reduce
them
8. AUX 1
This AUX send control is pre-fade, post-EQ. Therefore the
signal is not controlled by the position of the fader and the
routing status of the channel. This send function is very
convenient to cross monitor signals that have to be
controlled separately from the PA installation.
9. AUX 2
This AUX send control is post-fade, post-EQ. Therefore
the signal is sensitive to changes in the fader position. It is
normally used to feed an audio signal to an effect unit. As
the signals are always sent back into the mixer, the fader
must be able to control these signals.
10. PAN
The PAN control feeds continuously variable quantities of
the post-fader signal to the left or right and G1 or G2 main
busses. In the centre position / ”∞” the same signal is sent
to the left and right and the G1 and G2 main busses.
11. PEAK
A red LED lights up when the peak signal reaches the
maximum value that the mixer can handle. If this lasts
over a longer period of time, you might damage the unit.
The LED lights up at a volume level of 5 dB below
clipping.
12. PFL
If this button is pressed, you can monitor the signal via
headphones. This applies only to channels where the PFL
function is switched on. All other channel can then not be
monitored through the headphones
13. STEREO
When this button is pressed, you can use the L-R master
faders to allocate a stereo position to the signal of this
channel over the output signal.
14. GRPS 1-2
When this button is pressed, you can use the G1-2 master
fader. Now, the signal is bundled with all other channels
on which this function is activated. The L-R master faders
are inactive now.
15. CHANNEL FADER
This slider control sets the volume of that channel. Set it to
the “0” position when you connect a signal. Push the slider
control upwards until the required output volume is
reached. Please note, you can further change the volume
of this channel via one of the master faders.
STEREO INPUT CHANNELS
16. LEFT (MONO) / RIGHT
6.3 mm jack input for connection of a Line signal. If L+R are
both connected, this channel is stereo. If only the left input
is connected, a mono signal is fed to the left and the right
bus (the signal is simply spread over the left and the right
bus). If you connect only the right input, the signal is fed
only to the right bus.
17. HIGH
This knob controls the high frequencies per channel. Set
this button always in the “0” position first. Control the signal
once the music has started playing in order to prevent
damage to the speakers. Turn cw to increase the high
frequencies and ccw to reduce them.
18. HI MID & LO MID
This knob controls the medium range frequencies per
channel. Set this button always in the “0” position first.
Control the signal once the music has started playing in
order to prevent damage to the speakers. Turn cw to
increase the medium frequencies and ccw to reduce them.
19. LOW
This knob controls the low frequencies per channel. Set
this button always in the “0” position first. Control the signal
once the music has started playing in order to prevent
damage to the speakers. Turn cw to increase the low
frequencies and ccw to reduce them.
20. AUX 1
This AUX send control is pre-fade, post-EQ. Therefore the
signal is not influenced by the position of the fader and the
routing status of the channel. This send function is very
convenient to cross monitor signals that have to be
controlled separately from the PA installation.
21. AUX 2
This AUX send control is post-fade, post-EQ. Therefore the
signal is sensitive to changes in the fader position. It is
normally used to feed an audio signal to an effect unit. As
the signals are always send back into the mixer, the fader
must be able to control these signals.
22. BAL
The BAL control feeds continuously variable quantities of
the post-fader signal to the left or right and G1 or G2 main
busses. In the centre position ”∞” the same signal is sent to
the left and right and the G1 and G2 main busses.
23. PFL
If this button is pressed, you can monitor the signal via
headphones. This applies only to channels where the PFL
function is switched on. All other channel can then not be
listened to through the headphones
24. STEREO
When this button is pressed, you can use the L-R master
faders to allocate a stereo position to the signal of this
channel over the output signal. The L-R master faders are
inactive in that case.
25. GRPS 1-2
When this button is pressed, you can use the G1-2 master
fader. Now, the signal is bundled with all other channels on
which this function is activated. The L-R master faders are
inactive now.
26. CHANNEL FADER
This slider control sets the volume of that channel. Set it to
the “0” position when you connect a signal. Push the slider
control upwards until the required output volume is reached.
Please note: you can further change the volume of this
channel via one of the master faders.
MASTER SECTION
27. TAPE LEVEL
This knob changes the volume level of
the TAPE IN if this input is connected.
Turn cw to increase the level and ccw to
reduce it
28. AUX 1-2 SENDS
This knob changes the volume level of
the AUX Send if this output is connected.
Turn cw to increase the level and ccw to
reduce it
29. AUX RETURN 1-2
This knob changes the volume level of
the AUX Return input signal. Turn cw to
increase the level and ccw to reduce it
30. ST/G1-2
If this switch is not pressed, the return
signal will be sent to the stereo output. If
the switch is pressed in, the return signal
will be sent to the G1-2 output.
31. ST/G1-2
If this switch is pressed, the G1-2 mix
output signal is sent to the stereo bus.
Thus the G1-2 busses can mix two mono
subgroups into a single output signal
when no stereo sound is required.
32. GRPS 1-2 OUTPUT FADER
This slider control sets the volume level
of the G1-2 bus.
33. OUTPUT LEVEL INDICATOR (VU
METER)
This VU-meter displays the output
levels of the lift and right channels,
GPRS1-2, headphones and control
room so that you can monitor the
output condition of the signal.
34. ON/OFF & PHANTOM LEDs
The LEDs light up when their
functions are switched on.
35. PHANTOM POWER SWITCH
If you press this button all balanced
microphone inputs are powered by
48V which allows the use of
condenser microphones.
36. HEADPHONE / CONTROL ROOM
LEVEL
This single volume control sets the
volume level of the headphones
and of the monitors. Turn cw to
increase the volume and ccw to
lower it.
37. HEADPHONE SWITCH
If the L-R / G1-2 PFL button is not
pressed in, the output signal is sent
in stereo to the monitors. If the
buttons are pressed in, the signal is
sent via the headphones. The G1-2
fader allows you to determine the
volume level of the headphones.
38. MASTER FADER OUTPUT LEVEL
(LEFT/RIGHT)
It’s the master fader control of the
volume level of a stereo signal. Left
and right are controlled separately.

INSTALLATION
Do not mix up the cable in order to avoid wrong connections. Connect the leads one by one and not all
leads on one side first and then all on the other side. In the worst case, you might permanently
damage the unit. Figure 2 shows an example of possible connections.
Prior to connecting the mixer, set all controls to “0”. You can connect microphone or line units to the
mono channels, all kinds of line units to the stereo channels and effect units to the AUX Return. You
can also connect Midi instruments to the AUX Return.
If you connect a microphone, make sure that the phantom power is switched OFF. DO NOT use
unbalanced units when the phantom power is switched on. Do not short-circuit the 48V ci rcuit of the
phantom power to the ground. You might heavily damage the unit.
CONNECTIONS
On a balanced in/output, always use balanced equipment. You can use either balanced or unbalanced
equipment on an unbalanced in/output. See the drawings below for the equipment that you can use:
If possible, connect the balanced outputs to other balanced units to avoid interference.
