3 FEATURES 1. POWER IN -“ Use the included power adapter to connect the mixer to a power outlet. While the power is switched off, plug the power supply into the mixer first, then plug the power supply into a power outlet. 2. POWER SWITCH -“ Turns the mixer on and off. Turn on the mixer after all input devices hav e been connected and before you turn on amplifiers. Turn off amplifiers before you turn off the mixer. 3. MIC INPUT -“ Connect a microphone to these inputs with an XLR cable. 4. LINE INPUT * -“ Connect line-level devices to these inputs with 1/4" cables. 5. GAIN -“ Adjusts the channel audio level (pre-fader and pre-EQ gain). Adjust this so that the PEAK LED just barely lights up during the loudest parts of the song. 6. HI EQ (TREBLE) -“ Adjusts the high (treble) frequencies of the channel. 7. MID EQ -“ Adjusts the mid-range frequencies of the channel. 8. LO EQ (BASS) -“ Adjusts the low (bass) frequencies of the channel. 9. AUX SEND 1 MON -“ Adjusts the channel audio (pre-EQ) level that is sent to the AUX SEND output labeled "1 MON." You can use this to create a custom monitor mix for yourself or your musicians. 10. AUX SEND 2 FX -“ Adjusts the channel audio (post-EQ) level that is sent to the mixer's internal effects processor. Turn this up for the channels that you want internal effects applied to. You can use this to apply external effects to individual channels. 11. CHANNEL PAN -“ Adjusts the (mono) channel's position in the stereo field. 12. BALANCE (CH 3/4 & 5/6) -“ Adjusts the balance between Channels 3 and 4 and Channels 5 and 6. 13. PEAK LED -“ The LED will flash if the signal is clipping. If this happens, decrease the setting of the GAIN knob or CHANNEL VOLUME knob. 14. CHANNEL VOLUME -“ Adjusts the audio level on the channel. 15. AUX RETURN INPUTS ** -“ You can connect the outputs of an external device to these inputs with 1/4" mono cables. This is us ually used for outboard effects devices but can also be us ed like an extra input channel for synt hesizers, drum machines, etc. If your source is mono, plug it in to the left jack and it will be heard on both the left and right sides. 16. AUX SEND OUTPUTS ** -“ You can use a 1/4" TRS cable to connect the AUX 1 MON output to the input of an external amplifier or active monitor to create a custom monitor mix for onstage musicians. You can adjust this level with the AUX RETURN LEVEL knob labeled "TO AUX 1 MON." To use an external effects rack unit, compre ssor, etc. with the mixer, you can use a Y-cable to connect the AUX 2 FX output to the input of your external device, then connect the outputs of the device to the AUX RETURN INPUTS of the mixer. * When using LINE INPUTS 3/4, 5/6 and the AUX RETURNS: - If only the left channel is used, the signal will be heard in both left and right channels and the balance will not be adjustable. - If only the right channel is used, the signal will be heard in the right channel only. ** To use an external effects rack unit, compressor, etc., use a Y-cable (1/4" stereo to two 1/4" mono) to connect the AUX SEND "2 FX" output to the left and right inputs your external device. Connect the outputs of your external device to the left and right AUX RETURN INPUTS. 2 TK 2 TK K 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 22 23 24 25 26 27 2829 30 31 10 11 13 14 11 12 12 44 1521 15 16 16 19 19 20 20 17 17 18 18 3
