present, without using the CUE function. It further helps to set the gain controls (8) correctly for proper
gain balance.
10. Channel faders: High-grade dual rail 45mm faders to control the volume of each channel.
11. CUE switch for stereo channels: Sends the audio of the respective channel to the headphone bus for
pre-fader listening (CUE) using the headphone output (21). An LED indicates if the CUE-function is
active.
12. PA-MIXER input: This balanced stereo input (¼'' jack) allows to easily connect the output of a stage
mixer. This makes it easy to directly inject the audio from PA-mixer of a live band to your own audio
system. The PA-MIXER input is routed to input channel 6 and will replace the LINE6 signal once the PA-
MIXER switch (13) is set to "ON". This front-panel PA-MIXER input is in parallel to the rear-panel PA-
MIXER input (38) but has priority over the rear-side input; thus, once a jack is inserted into the front-side
PA-MIXER input, the rear-side PA-MIXER input (38) is disabled.
13. PA-MIXER ON/OFF switch: To avoid accidental use, you should use a ballpoint to enables/disable the
PA-MIXER input. This switch applies to both the front-side and rear-side PA-MIXER input.
14. Stereo Master output level control: Sets the main output level present at outputs (24)/(25)/(26).
15. Stereo Master output level meter: Displays the output level of the stereo master output (24)/(25)/(26).
Note that the setting of Max. level control (28) on the back panel does not affect the display of this meter.
16. Mono Zone output level controls: Sets the output level for zones A/B/C on outputs (30)/(31).
17. Mono zone source selectors: With these rotary switches you can choose for each individual zone
which audio source is selected:
Master mix: the zone output carries the same mixed audio signal as the stereo master output.
CH1 - CH6: the zone output carries the signal of the selected input channel. The signal is taken
before the channel fader so the position of the channel fader (open or closed) does NOT influence
the signal of the zone output. same mixed audio signal as the stereo master output.
Examples:
Zone B is used for audio on the terrace, set the zone B selector to CH2 if you want these
people to hear the radio connected to CH2.
Zone C is used for audio in the toilets, set the zone C selector to CH3 if you want to send the
lounge music from CH3 to the toilets.

18. Mono Zone output level meters: Displays the output levels of the mono zones A/B/C respectively. Note
that the setting of Max. level controls (33) on the back panel does not affect the display of these meters.
19. Mono zone Cue switches: Pressing these switches will assign the selected zone signal to the
headphone bus for pre-fader-listening (CUE) using the headphone output (21).
20. CUE Volume: Sets the signal volume of the headphone output (21). Always set this control to minimum
before putting on headphones, as sudden high-volume impact may damage your ears.
21. Headphones output: a ¼" Jack connector to connect a headphone for monitoring. Turn the CUE
volume (20) down before plugging in any headphones.
22. Power switch: Switches the unit on and off. Make sure to switch the unit off while not in use.

23. AC mains input and fuse holder: Use the supplied AC cord to connect the unit to AC mains. Make
sure voltage and frequency stated on the unit comply with your local AC supply. The fuse can be
accessed by the small drawer at the AC inlet. To change the fuse, unplug the AC cord first, pull out the
