OVERVIEW
POWERING UP
Following a proper power up sequence protects
your equipment – specifically speakers – and your
ears. Please follow the below power up procedure:
1. Turn down all output volume controls of any
equipment in your audio system.
2. Switch on your audio sources/mixer first.
3. Switch on any audio processor between the
mixer and the amplifier(s) [if any].
4. Switch on the amplifier(s).
5. Turn up the volume level on your audio sources.
6. Set the audio output of your mixer to a low level.
7. Set the audio output of any audio processor
between the mixer and the amplifier(s) to a
medium level [if any].
8. Turn up the volume controls of your amplifier(s)
slowly.
9. Adjust all volume settings as needed.
For switching off, follow the sequence in reverse
– always switch off your amplifier(s) first, then any
processors between mixer and amplifier(s), then
the mixer, then the sources.
