1. INTRODUCTION

Caution!We should like to draw your attention to the fact that extreme volumes may damage your hearingand/or your headphones or loudspeakers. Turn the MAIN MIX control and PHONES control in the main section fully counter-clockwise before you switch on the unit. Always be careful to set appropriate volume levels.

Important notes concerning installationThe sound quality may diminish within the range of powerful broadcasting stations and high-frequency sources. Increase the distance between the transmitter and the device and use shielded cables for all connections.

1.1 General mixing console functionsA mixing console fulfils three main functions:

Signal processing: Preamplification, level adjustment, mixing of effects, frequency equalization.
Signal distribution: Summing of signals to the aux sends for effects processing and monitor mix, distribution to one or several recording tracks, power amp(s), control room and 2-track outputs.
Mix: Setting the volume level, frequency distribution and positioning of the individual signals in the stereo field, level control of the total mix to match the recording devices/crossover/power amplifier(s).All other mixer functions can be included in this main function.The interface of the mixing consoles is optimized for these tasks enabling you to easily keep track of the signal path.

1.2 Before you get started

ShipmentYour mixing console was carefully packed in the factory to guarantee safe transport. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have occurred during transit.

If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to us, but notify your dealer and the shipping company immediately, otherwise claims for damage or replacement may not be granted.

Initial operationBe sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling purposes and to avoid over-heating please do not place your mixing console on high-temperature devices such as radiators or power amps. The console is connected to the mains via the supplied cable. The console meets the required safety standards. Blown fuses must only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating.

Never connect the Mixer to the power supply unit when the latter is connected to the mains! First connect the power supply unit to the console, then connect the power supply unit to the mains.
Please note that all units must be properly grounded. For your own safety, you should never remove any ground connectors from electrical devices or power cables, or render them inoperative.
Please ensure that only qualified people install and operate the mixing console. During installation and operation, the user must have sufficient electrical contact to earth, otherwise electrostatic discharges might affect the operation of the unit.

2. CONTROL ELEMENTS AND CONNECTORS

This chapter describes the various control elements of your mixing console. All controls, switches and connectors will be discussed in detail.

2.1 CHANNEL INPUT

MICEach mono input channel oers a balanced microphone input via the XLR connector and also features switchable +48/+15 V phantom power supply for condenser microphones. The preamps provide undistorted and noise-free gain as is typically known only from costly outboard preamps.

Please mute your playback system before you activate the phantom power supply to prevent switch-on thumps being directed to your loud speakers.

LINEEach mono input also features a balanced line input on a 1/4″ connector. Unbalanced devices (mono jacks) can also be connected to these inputs.

Please remember that you can only use either the microphone or the line input of a channel at any one time. You can never use both simultaneously!

GAINUse the GAIN control to adjust the input gain. This control should always be turned fully counterclockwise whenever you connect or disconnect a signal source to one of the inputs.

FX sends (or AUX sends) enable you to feed signals via a variable control from one or more channels and sum these signals to a bus. The bus appears at the console’s FX send output and can be fed from there to an external effects device. The return from the effects unit is then brought back into the console on the aux return connectors or normal channel inputs. Each FX send is mono and features up to +15 dB gain. As the name suggests, the FX sends of the mixing consoles are intended to drive effects devices (reverb, delay, etc) and are therefore configured post-fader. This means that the mix between dry signal and effect remains at the level determined by the channel’s aux send, irrespective of the channel fader setting. If this were not the case, the effects signal of the channel would remain audible even when the level knob is lowered to -.

MAIN CONTROL

[PROGRAM] Controller: Select from 16 kinds of internal digital effects, provides the same signal to L and R stereo.
[REPEAT] Echo controller of internal effects: Adjust to achieve the desired state of internal echo signal.
[FX LEVEL] Effects return level controller: Adjust the volume of effect.
Level indicators can show the signal level from [STEREO OUT] output. Adjust the [LEVEL] controller to lower the level if [PEAK] indicator light up in RED.
[LEVEL PHONES] Earphone controller: Adjusts the earphone’s volume.
[STEREO LEVEL] Fader: Adjust the overall volume from [STEREO OUT] output signal.
[SEND] Level controller: Adjust the sending level.
[RETURN] Level controller: Adjust the return level.

USB interface: Use for MP3 input or computer connection (can be used for U disk or computer software recording)
MP3 Display: Displays the status and details of the MP3 play.
[MAIN OUT] Output: Connect the active speaker or amplifier.
[CTRL OUT] Output: Connect the monitor room to monitor.
Converting switch for channel 3/4 and USB signal.
Channel input socket (stereo): 8CH mixer with two group of input socket, 4CH and 6CH mixers with one group of input socket. If connected only to L (MONO) socket, the mixer will send out the same mono signal to L and R sockets.
[SEND & RETURN] Socket: When using the [SEND] output socket separately, can be connected with power amplier, act as the monitoring signal. When using the [RETURN] input socket separately, can be connected with the audio source. When using two sockets together, can connect with the external audio processor.
[PHONES] Socket: Connect an earphone, the socket is supporting stereo phone plug.

3. INSTALLATION

3.1 Mains connection

AC POWER IN

Connect the power supply to the 3-pin mains connector on the rear of the console. Use the AC adapter supplied to connect the console to the mains. The adapter complies with all applicable safety standards.

Please use only the power supply unit provided with the console.
Never connect the Studio Mixer to the power supply unit while the latter is connected to the mains! First connect the console to the power supply unit, then connect the power supply unit to the mains.
Please note that both the power supply unit and the mixing console heat up considerably during operation. This is completely normal.

3.2 Audio Connections

You will need a large number of cables for different applications. The illustrations below show how the connectors should be wired. Be sure to use only high-grade cables. Please use commercial RCA cables to connect the 2-track inputs and outputs. You can, of course, also connect unbalanced devices to the balanced inputs/outputs. To do this, use either mono plugs or stereo plugs with the ring and sleeve bridged (pins 1 and 3 in the case of XLR connectors).

• Caution! Never use unbalanced XLR connectors (PIN 1 and 3 connected) on the MIC input connectors when using the phantom power supply.
