INTRODUCTION

Caution!We should like to draw your attention to the fact that extreme volumes may damage your hearing and/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.

General mixing console functions

A 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.

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.

CHANNEL INPUT

[MIC/LINE] Mono Input: Connect the microphone, musical instrument or audio device (CD player and so on) to the device. The sockets are supports both XLR and UNBALANCED 1/4″ PLUG.
[+48V PHANTOM] Button/LED: When the button is turned ON, the LED light is on, provide DC+48V phantom power to XLR plug on MIC/LINE mono input. Please turn ON this button when using the condenser microphone which is powered by a phantom power.
[PAD] button: It will attenuate the sound input to the device when turned ON. You can turn on the switch if you hear the distortion or [PEAK]LED indicator light is on.
[GAIN] Controller: Determines the basic volume of each channel, adjust for maximum volume performance. [PEAK] LED indicator light indicates the volume is too loud.
[HIGH] Treble tone controller: Adjust the controller to enhance or attenuate for 15dB at 12KHz.
[MID] Alto tone controller: Adjust the controller to enhance or attenuate for 15dB at 2.5KHz.
[LOW] Bass tone controller: Adjust the controller to enhance or attenuate for 15dB at 80Hz.
[FX] Controller: Adjust the signal level from the channel to the reverberation line. Please note, the single level will vary with the different setting of the channel attenuator. If using the stereo channel, will mix the signals from L and R channels, then, send it to reverberation line.
[PEAK] LED indicator light: When the volume of input signal or volume after adjusting equalizer is too high, the LED indicator light will keep flashing, please rotate the[GAIN] CONTROLLER counterclockwise to turn down the volume.
[LEVEL]: Controller ,adjust to balance the volume of each channels.

MICEach mono input channel offers 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.

FXFX 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 amplifier, 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.

Please note that both the power supply unit and the mixing console heat up considerably during operation. This is completely normal.

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.
