For the moment, just try and trace the signal path from the
microphone input to the MON SEND connector. Don’t be put off

look at the overview of the controls at the same time, you’ll be
able to quickly familiarize yourself with your mixing console and
you’ll soon be making the most of all its many possibilities.

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 power cable. The console meets the required safety
standards. Blown fuses must only be replaced by fuses of the
same type and rating.

and pre-aux send. Unlike reverb or other effects devices, whose
signals are usually added to the dry signal, dynamic processors
are most effective on the complete signal. In this case, aux send
paths are a less-than-perfect solution. It is better to interrupt the
signal path and insert a dynamic processor and/or equalizer.
After processing, the signal is routed back to the console at
precisely the same point it left. However, the channel signal path
is interrupted only if a plug is inserted into the corresponding jack
(stereo phone plug: tip = signal output; ring = return input). All
mono input channels are equipped with inserts.
interrupting the signal path. To this end, you will need a cable
fitted with mono phone plugs on the tape machine or effects
device end, and a bridged stereo phone plug on the console side
(tip and ring connected).
