Disconnect power and use a soft dry cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid liquids, solvents, and abrasive cleaners. For faders, use compressed air.
What is the maximum output level?

Each channel has a 3-band EQ with low (80 Hz), high (12 kHz), and a sweepable mid (100 Hz to 8 kHz). Adjust the knobs to shape your sound.
