BEFORE PROCEEDING
Please keep this manual in a safe place for
future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to
avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death
from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire
or other hazards. These precautions include, but are
not limited to, the following:
Power supply/power cord
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as
heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or
otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or
place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip
over, or roll anything over it.
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device.
The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the
device.
• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
If you intend to use the device in an area other than in the
one you purchased, the included power cord may not be
compatible. Please check with your Yamaha dealer.
• Check the electric plug and each jack periodically, and
remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated.

metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the device
(vents, panel, etc.). If this happens, immediately turn off
the power, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, and
have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service
personnel.
• Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy
objects on it, and avoid use excessive force on the
buttons, switches or connectors to prevent injuries.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused
by improper use or modifications to the device.
NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the
product, damage to data, or damage to other property, follow the notices below.
Handling and maintenance
• Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, AV
equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the device, TV, or radio may generate noise.
• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibration,
or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near
a heater, or in a car during the day), in order to prevent
the possibility of panel disfiguration, unstable operation,

• Place input cables for devices such as microphones,
and microphone amplifier circuits with high sensitivity in
a location that is far away from the speaker cables. In
addition, ensure that the power cord is kept at least 10
cm from the speaker cables. Due to an excessively large
current flowing through the speaker cables, it may lead
to acoustic noise or electromagnetic interference.
• When cleaning the device, use a dry and soft cloth. Do
not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or
chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
• Condensation can occur in the device due to rapid, drastic changes in ambient temperature—when the device is
moved from one location to another, or air conditioning
is turned on or off, for example. Using the device while
condensation is present can cause damage. If there is
reason to believe that condensation might have
occurred, leave the device for several hours without turning on the power until the condensation has completely
dried out.
• Always turn the power off when the device is not in use.

Using the Compressor
When the compressor is applied to vocals, it evens out the input level, reducing the
level of loud passages and bringing up softer passages. It also makes each sound
more distinct, enabling the listener to better understand the performer’s singing.
1. Adjust the [COMP] controls until you get the desired sound for channels you
wish to add compression.
Turn the control to the right to increase the level of compression. Avoid setting the value too high, as too
much compression may lead to feedback.
