INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:
 Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not be exposed to high temperatures or humidity.
 Placing and using the unit for long periods near heat-generating sources such as amplifiers, spotlights, etc.
will affect its performance and may even damage the unit.
 When installed in a booth or flight case, please make sure to have good ventilation to improve heat
evacuation of the unit.
 To avoid condensation to be formed inside, allow the unit to adapt to the surrounding temperatures when
bringing it into a warm room after transport. Condense sometimes prevents the unit from working at full
performance.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE:
Clean by wiping with a polished cloth slightly dipped with water. Avoid getting water inside the unit. Do not
use volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which will damage the unit.
CONNECTIONS
For more information on connections, please refer to the next chapter.
Be sure to turn off the mixer before you make changes to the different connections.
In this manual we talk about "line inputs". This is a global name for inputs with a level between 750mV and
2V. This includes tuners, videos, CD-players, etc.
FUNCTIONS
INPUT CHANNEL CONTROL
1. PEAK LED INDICATOR
This LED indicator shows the level of the signal
input of the channel. The peak indicator lights up
when the input signal reaches 5dB below the
channel's clipping point. This indicator shows the
level of the Post-EQ/ pre-fader signal. If the PEAK
indicator lights more than briefly on high-level
transients, you should use the TRIM control to
decrease the input sensitivity of the channel. If this
does not work, reduce the output level of the
connected source.
2. TRIM CONTROL
According to the level of the input signal, use this
knob to adjust the input to an appropriate level. The
best balance of S/N and dynamic range will be
achieved if you adjust the TRIM control so that the
peak indicator lights occasionally. This control
adjusts the channel's MIC input sensitivity between
-50dB and -6dB and the line input sensitivity
between -30dB and +14dB.
The mono/stereo combination input channels have
a sensitivity of +20dB to-20dB
3. HPF(High-Pass Filter)
This switch toggles the HPF on or off. To turn the
HPF on, press the switch In ( ). The HPF cut
frequencies below 75Hz
4. EQUALIZER
This 3-band equalizer adjusts the channel's high, mid and low frequency bands. Setting the knob to the "0"
position produces a flat frequency response. Turning the knob to the right boosts the corresponding

frequency band ,while turning to the left cuts the band.
The following table shows the EQ type, frequency, and maximum cut/boost for each of the three bands.
5. AUX CONTROL
The AUX knob controls the signal level that the channel sends to the AUX bus.
If you are using stereo channels, the signals from the L and R channels are mixed and send to the AUX bus.
The AUX controls are switched as pré fader. Pré-fader aux outputs are not influenced by the position of the
channel fader and are mainly used to control stage monitors.
6. EFX CONTROL.
This knob controls the level of the signals sent to the EFX bus (to the EFX SEND jack on the front panel and
to the internal effect module). The channel signals mixed by this bus have their overall level set by the EFX
SEND Control.
Since this control is placed after the channel fader, the signal level will be affected by the channel fader's
setting.
7. PAN /BAL CONTROL
PAN (Mono Channel)
This control pans the channel signal across the master L and R busses, thus determining the perceived
position of the sound from that channel in the output stereo sound field. If a PAN control is set all the way to
the left, for example, the sound from that channel will be heard from the left speaker system only.
If it is set all the way to the right, the sound will be heard from the right speaker system only.
Intermediate settings will cause the sound to appear at corresponding locations in the stereo sound field.
BALANCE (Stereo Channel)
This control adjusts the balance or the L/R position of the stereo input signal.
Turning the BALANCE control to the left of center moves the apparent source toward the MAIN MIX L bus,
turning it to the right moves the source toward the MAIN MIX R bus.
8. CHANNEL VOLUME KNOB
This is the channel's main level control. It determines the level of the signal that is sent from the channel to
the master mixing effect bus. It is the settings of the input channel volume knobs that determine the mix, or
the balance of sound levels between the instruments or other sources connected to the inputs. When a
channel is not being used, its volume knob should be set at the minimum position to prevent the addition of
unwanted noise to the main program signal.
MAIN CONTROL SECTION
1. DSP PROGRAM DISPLAY
The selected DSP effect number is shown on the display.
2. DSP PROGRAM SELECT SWITCH
Turn the program knob to select one of the 100 built-in digital effects. The 24 Bit Digital Effects processor
provides high quality effects like Delay, Chorus and Reverb.
3. DSP ON/OFF SWITCH
This switch turns the internal digital effect on/off.
4. EFX RTN VOLUME KNOB
Adjust the level of the signal sent from the internal digital effect to the MAIN bus.
5. CTRL ROOM /PHONES CONTROL
Controls the signal output level of the PHONES and CONTROL ROOM outputs.
