ProMix 01 offers superb sonic quality. So the last thing you want is
signal degradation due to cheap or corroded connectors. It ’s usually
better to buy the best connecting cables that y ou can afford. And don ’t

Interference
Under rare circumstances, CH9-16 may pick up radio or TV interference when used with unbalanced connectors. Therefore, we recommend that you use balanced connectors wherever possible.

If ProMix 01 should require cleaning, use a soft, lightly moistened

use abrasive cleaners or solvent based cleaning fluids such as alc ohol
and benzine.

ProMix 01 User Guides
ProMix 01 is supplied with two user guides. This Getting Started
Guide
and a
User’s Guide
tutorials to get you started. The
explains all ProMix 01 functions in full detail. Use the table of contents to search for general topics and the index to sear ch for specifics.
A glossary of ProMix 01 related jargon is provided.

User’s Guide
contains two
, on the other hand,
This guy is your resident ProMix 01 expert. He’ll introduce you to
ꎹ
each tutorial section and monitor your progress on his headset. Since
printed paper is a non-interactive medium, however, he can’t help
you out if you get stuck. Still, the tutorials are relatively straightforward, so you shouldn’t have any problems.
We recommend that you start with this Getting Started Guide , and
then move on to the User’s Guide when you are little more familiar
with ProMix 01. You may want to refer to the
detailed information while using this guide.
In both guides, parameter range values are separated by a dash, for
example: 0–100%. Where the range consists of plus and minus values,
however , they are separated by thr ee periods, for example: –99...+99.
This is to avoid possible co nfusion between the minus sign and dash.
User’s Guide
Installation
Site ProMix 01 on a stable surface. Somewhere that complies with the
“Important Information” on page i. The motorized faders don’t
mind climbing hills, so ProMix 01 can be positioned at a sloping
angle. ProMix 01 can also be rack mounted using the optional
rack-mount kit. Optional wooden side panels can be fitted for an even
more attractive finish. I f you plan to tak e P r oMix 01 on the road, an
optional carrying case is available. A set of color fader knobs is also
available. See your Yamaha dealer for details.
