QUICK START

— MICROPHONE AMPLIFICATION

A common use for your audio system is
amplifying live music or speech using
microphones. To get started:

1. Connect speaker cables to your speakers.

Insert the 1/4-inch plug at the end of the
cable into the speaker socket. Choose either
speaker connector.

2. Remove the rear cover from the equipment

rack and connect the other ends of the
speaker cables to the amplifier outputs.

The amplifier is the bottom component in the
rack. For now, don't worry about which
amplifier output goes to which speaker.
These cables won't fit anywhere else so if
they are both plugged in and rotated
clockwise to lock in place, you've
successfully made this connection.

3. Remove the top cover from the audio rack.

If any cables had to be disconnected in
order for the cover to properly close,
reconnect them per the instructions found
under the cover.

5

QUICK START

— MICROPHONE AMPLIFICATION

4. Plug in the power cord found when you

removed the rear cover.

This cord connects to the power distribution
unit, which in turn, powers all the other
components in the rack.

5. Adjust all control knobs, buttons and faders

for Channel 1 to the settings shown.

Knob Position:

7:00

6

QUICK START

— MICROPHONE AMPLIFICATION

6. Using the microphone cable provided,

connect a microphone to the mixer on

CHANNEL 1.

7. Remove the rack's front cover. Turn on the

main power switch in the far upper-right
corner of the rack.

This will provide power to all system
components. All individual components
should be powered up as indicated by their
front-mounted indicator lights.

7

QUICK START

— MICROPHONE AMPLIFICATION

8. Speak or play music into the microphone

and adjust the Channel 1

GAIN control knob

so that it lights most of the green indicators
on the right hand side of the mixer.

It's OK if louder inputs drive the indicators
into the yellow section. However, the GAIN
should NOT be set so high as to illuminate
the red indicators.

9. Adjust the volume of this microphone using

the CHANNEL 1 Fader at the bottom left
hand corner of the board.

This will affect the volume of only this
microphone.

8

QUICK START

— MICROPHONE AMPLIFICATION

10. Additional channels can be set up in the

same way.

Note: When setting the gain control (step 8),
only the

SOLO button for the channel being

set should be depressed

to send its signal

to the meters. All other

SOLO buttons should

be up

.

11. Once all input channels have been set up,

adjust the overall volume of the mix using
the faders at the lower right hand corner of
the board.

These faders will adjust the volume of all
inputs together.

9

QUICK START

— MICROPHONE AMPLIFICATION

12. When the volume is adjusted at the proper

level for your venue, the MIX faders should
be approximately two-thirds of the way up. If
the volume at this setting is too high or low,
adjust the amplifier gain knobs (located at
the bottom right-hand corner of the rack) to
achieve the desired overall volume with the
MIX faders in that position.

Turning the

GAIN control knobs clockwise

will increase the volume. Turning counter­clockwise will decrease the volume. (Both

GAIN control knobs should be set the

same.) This step will minimize the amount of
noise heard through the speakers during quiet music passages, between
speeches or anytime inputs are low.

Congratulations! Your system should be ready to amplify your next program.

If your audio system does NOT amplify as expected

, any of a number of cable
connections or settings may have been inadvertently changed. Detailed instructions for
proper connections and optimum settings can be found in this manual. Please refer to
its table of contents on the cover page for guidance.

Even if your system is playing, there are likely some adjustments in you may want to
make. Detailed instructions for further fine-tuning the system can be found on pages
21 to 29 in this manual and in the manufacturer's operation manuals contained in the
binder. Please refer to the table of contents on the cover page for more information.

The next step is to playback a pre-recorded
program. Start with your favorite music CD. The
playback of CD's is controlled by the channel
labeled

STEREO 2.

1. Adjust the control knobs, push buttons and

faders for Channel

STEREO 2 to the settings

shown.

The CD player should now be playing
through the speakers. You should also
notice movement of the meters on the CD­RW/Cassette Player/Recorder display.

4. Depress the SOLO button on Channel

STEREO 2 so its signal is sent to the meters.

Only the

SOLO button for the channel being

set should be depressed to send its signal
to the meters. All other

SOLO buttons should

be up.

5. Adjust the GAIN control knob so that the

input signal lights most of the green
indicators on the right hand side of the
mixer.

It's OK if louder inputs drive the indicators
into the yellow section. However, the Gain
should NOT be set so high as to illuminate
the red indicators.

12

QUICK START

— CD PLAYBACK

6. Adjust the playback volume using the

Channel

STEREO 2 fader together with the

main mix faders located on the lower-right
corner of the mixer.

The Channel STEREO 2 fader will change
the volume of the CD playback, only. The
main mix faders will affect the volume of the
CD playback and any other input to the
board. (…like the microphones set up
earlier.)

d. Repeat steps 6a, 6b, and 6c on any other input channels.
e. Turn on the Amplifier.

a. Adjust the Amplifier

CHANNEL 1 and CHANNEL 2 GAIN controls until the desired loudspeaker

volume is achieved.

LED stays illuminated, reduce the CHANNEL 1 GAIN or CHANNEL 2 GAIN level.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Refer to each manufacturer’s owner manual in the binder for detailed troubleshooting information.

1. Verify all cables are firmly connected.

2. Verify power is supplied to all components. Are there visible lights on each component?

3. Verify channels on the power amplifier are turned up. They should be set about three-quarters of the
way up (turned clockwise).

4. Verify mixer settings are set so that volume sources are loud enough to hear an audible signal.
