POWERSUPPLY

On the label on the backside of the product is indicated on this type of power supply must be connected. Check that the mains voltage corresponds to this, all other voltages than specified, the product be irreparably damaged. The product must also be directly connected to the mains and may be used.

Always connect the device to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the device has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.

CONTROL ELEMENTS

1. Microphone Input

Balanced XLR input jacks.

1. Line Input

Balanced 6.3mm (1/4^) jack line inputs. You can connect either balanced or unbalanced phone plugs to these jacks.

1. 48V indicator

The red LED lights up when phantom power is switched on. Phantom power is required to operate condenser microphones.

1. Phantom +48V

This switch toggles phantom power on and off. When the switch is on the mixer supplies +48V phantom power to all channels that have XLR input jacks. Turn this switch on when using one or more phantom-powered condenser microphones.

1. TRIM Control

Adjusts the input signal level. To get the best balance between the S/N ratio and the dynamic range, adjust the gain so that the peak indicator (15) lights only occasionally and briefly on the highest input transients. The -60 to +10 scale is the MIC input adjustment range. The 40 to +10 scale is the line input adjustment range.

1. Low Out Switch

This switch toggles the HPF on or off. To turn the HPF on, the HPF cuts frequencies below 75Hz.

1. Signal LED Indicator

Check the input signal.

1. Equalizer

Three-band equalizer adjusts the channel's high, mid and low frequency bands. Setting the knob to the "O" position produces a flat response in the corresponding band. Turning the knob to the right boosts the corresponding frequency band, while turning to the left attenuates the band.

1. Aux Control

Monitor and effect busses (Aux sends) source their signals via a control from one or more channels and sum these signals to a so-called bus. This bus signal is sent to an aux send connector (for monitoring applications: Mon Out) and then routed, for example, to an active monitor speaker or external effect device. In the latter case, the effects return can then be brought back into the console via the aux return connectors. All monitor and effect busses are mono, are tapped into post EQ and offer amplification of up to +15dB.

1. FX1 Control

The aux send marked FX offers a direct route to the built-in effects processor and is therefore post-fader and post-mute.

1. FX2 Control

The aux send marked FX offers a direct route to the built-in effects processor and is therefore post-fader and post-mute.

1. PAN Control

The PAN control determines the position of the channel signal within the stereo image. When working with subgroups, you can use the PAN control to assign the signal to just one output, which gives you additional flexibility in recording situations.

1. Mute LED

The mute LED indicates a muted channel.

1. Mute Switch

The MUTE switch breaks the signal channel fader.

1. Clip LED

The clip-led lights up when the input signal is driven too high. If this happens, back off the Trim control and, if necessary, check the setting of the channel EQ.

1. Solo Switch

The solo switch is used to route the channel signal to the solo bus (Solo In Place) or to the PFL bus (Pre Fader Listen). This enables you to listen to a channel signal without affecting the main output signal. The signal you hear is taken either before the pan control (PFL, mono) or after the pan and channel fader.

1. Channel Fader

Adjusts the level if the channel signal. Use these faders to adjust the balance between the various channels.

1. The same as single channel

2. Returns stereo

The stereo aux return jacks generally serve as the return for the effects mix (created using the post-fader aux sends) by connecting the output of an external effects device. If only the left jack is connected, the aux return is automatically switched to mono.

1. Room Output

The control room output is normally connected to the monitoring system in the control room and carries the stereo mix or, when selected, the solo signals.

1. FX Output

The FX output jacks carries the master aux mix (from the channel FX controls). You can connect this to an external effects device to process the FX bus. The processed FX-signal can then be brought from the effects device back into the stereo Return jacks.

1. Aux Send

The Aux send jack carries the master aux mix (from the channel's Aux controls).

1. Main Out

The XLR and 6.3mm (1/4^) jacks deliver the mixer's stereo output. You use these jacks, for example, to connect to the power amplifier driving your main speakers.

1. Effect Display

Show the kind of effect.

1. Program Dial

You can select the effect preset by turning the program control. The display flashes with the number of the current preset. To recall the selected preset, press on the button; the flashing stops. You can also recall the selected preset with the foot switch.

1. FX Control

The aux send jacks carries the master aux mix (from the channel FX controls). You can connect this to an external effects device to process the FX bus. The processed signal can then be brought from the effects device back into the Stereo Aux return jacks.

1. Repeat Control

Adjusts the parameter (Depth, speed, etc.) for the selected effect.

1. Same as No. 25/26/27

2. 9-Band Stereo Graphic Equalizer

The graphic stereo equalizer allows you to tailor the sound to the room acoustics.

1. EQ Switch

Use this switch to activate the graphic equalizer.

1. Tap Switch

Continuous press the switch two times can change the effect of repeat time.

Note: Press faster, the repeat time will be shorter.

Press slower, the repeat time will be longer

1. Same as No. 13/14/15/16 for FX1

2. Same as No 31/32 for FX2

3. Same as No. 13/14 for MP3

4. Same as No. 15/16 for MP3

5. FX1 Fader

Control effect input signal level.

1. FX2 Fader

Control effect input signal level.

1. MP3 Fader

Control effect input signal level.

1. USB Port

USB: can be play through U-DISK

1. MP3 Display

Show the MP3 time, song name and other play instruction.

1. MP3/BT Command

STOP: Press shortly to stop playing. Press for seconds for recording, also press 2 seconds to stop recording.
PREV/NEXT:Turning the program control.
PLAY: Press the program control knob.
REP: Repeating of single track or all tracks.

Program Dial

You can select the MP3 preset by turning the program control. The display flashes with the number of the current preset. To recall the selected preset, press on the button; the flashing stops

1. MP3 EQ

Two-band equalizer adjusts the level if the two bands MP3 player.

1. Phantom +48V

This switch toggles phantom power on and off. When the switch is on the mixer supplies +48V phantom power to all channels that have XLR input jacks. Turn this switch on when using one or more phantom-powered condenser microphones.

1. VU-Meter

Displays the signal of output.

NOTE: The "0" segment corresponds to the nominal output level. The peak indicator lights up red when the output reaches the clipping level.

1. Aux Control

Use this fader to control the aux output jack.

1. Main Mix Fader

You use the high-precision quality faders to control the output level of the main mix.

1. BT-Function

Contact mobile phone or tablet.

Connecting: Press the "contact switch" for two seconds, then the signal LED light up, use your mobile phone or tablet and choose "MIXER-01" BT-connection.

1. PFL indicator

When open the monitor, PFL is lighting.

1. Headphone/Room Level

Use this control to adjust the output level of headphone.
