These brief instructions give a quick overview of how to use the audio mixer. They are intended for users with basic knowledge of audio technology. Please read these instructions carefully prior to operating the unit and keep them for later reference.

1 Applications

This mixer can be used in many ways to mix audio signals (microphones, instruments, units with line level). The sum signal is output via the output jacks M L, M R (6), and the USB port (27). The USB port is also used as an input for audio data when the mixer is connected to a computer and for the integrated audio player to replay MP3, WAV and WMA files from a USB flash drive. In addition, the audio player is equipped with a Bluetooth module.

2 Safety Notes

The mixer corresponds to all relevant directives of the EU and is therefore marked with €€.

31 Level indicator for the sum signal

32 Master faders for the output level of the sum signal available at the outputs ML, MR (6) and at the USB port (27)

4 Quick Start

To avoid loud interfering noise, set the control H.P. (25) to MIN and close the master faders M L, M R (32) prior to connection/disconnection and switch-on.

4.1 Connection

1) Connect the signal sources (microphones, instruments, etc.) to the input jacks (1, 2): Connect microphones by means of XLR plugs and units with line level by means of 6.3 mm plugs.

When using microphones that require phantom power supply, press the button PH.PWR (28); in all other cases, the button must not be pressed. When the button is

pressed, the LED indicator "+48 V"(30) will light up as an indication.

When connecting a mono unit to the stereo channel, only use the jack L/MONO (2). Thus, the signal will internally be routed to the right channel and the left channel.

2) When a computer is used to replay audio files or for recordings, connect the computer to the USB port (27).
3) Connect the unit to which the sum signal is to be sent (amplifier, active speaker system, recorder) to the output jacks M L, M R (6).
4) Headphones to monitor the signal can be connected to the jack H. P. (5).
5) Use the mains cable provided to connect the mains jack 230 V\~ / 50 Hz located on the rear side of the unit to a mains socket (230 V/ 50 Hz).

4.2 Switching on the unit, mixing input signals

1) To make the basic adjustments, first
- set the controls GAIN (7), H, M, L (8, 24) and PAN (10) to mid-position
- set the controls AUX/FX (9) and RET (18) to MIN
– close the channel faders (12) and the faders FX (19) and MP3 (26)

2) Switch on the signal sources, then switch on the mixer by means of the POWER switch on the rear side of the unit and finally switch on the unit connected to the output jacks M L, M R (6). To switch off, proceed in the reverse order.

Move the master faders M L and M R (32) to the position 0 dB and mix the input signals by means of the channel faders (12).

If a channel fader must be advanced almost to its maximum, turn the control GAIN (7) to the right to increase the input gain. If, however, the LED indicator PK (11) lights up for a longer period of time, turn back the control GAIN accordingly. The LED indicator PK may only briefly flicker at signal peaks.

3) Use the panorama controls PAN (10) to distribute the channel signals on the stereo base as desired.

4) Use the controls H, M and L (8) to adjust the sound of the input signals.

5) Use the master faders M L and M R (32) to adjust the sum signal for the subsequent unit to an optimum level. Use the control H. P. (25) to adjust the volume of the head-

phones (make sure that the volume is not too high; high volumes may damage your hearing!).

4.3 Adding effects

The internal effect unit can be used to create one of the 16 selectable effects and to add this effect to the sum signal.

1) To make sure that the subsequent effect settings are audible, set the controls PARAM (15) and FX (16) approx. to mid-position and move the fader FX (19) to the position 0 dB.
2) Turn the rotary knob PROG (14) to select the effect desired. The effect number will flash on the display (13) for a few seconds; the previous effect will still be activated. To activate the effect selected, press the rotary knob; the effect number will stop flashing.
3) Use the control AUX / FX (9) to adjust the intensity of the effect for each channel signal separately. The signal for the effect unit will be picked up after the channel faders (12), i. e. the effect portion of a channel is always proportionate to the channel level adjusted.
4) Use the control PARAM (15) to define the number of effect repeats.
5) To increase or reduce the overall intensity of the effect, advance or close the fader FX (19) accordingly. For a further increase of the intensity, turn the control FX (16) to the right; this control is used to adjust the input level of the effect unit. If distortions of the effect signal occur, turn back the control accordingly.

The signals that are picked up by means of the controls AUX/FX (9) from the input channels are also available at the output AUX (3) and may, for example, be routed to an external effect unit. For this, adjust the output level of the jack AUX by means of the control SEND (17). Route the output signal of the effect unit to the input RETURN (4) and then use the control RET (18) to add the signal to the sum signal.
