adjust the input levels so that the PEAK indicator
lights momentarily when a guitar is strummed
strongly or vocals are sung loudly.

Monitoring the sound

You can monitor the sound from the instruments and
microphones that are connected.
1. Lower the MASTER fader.
2. Turn the INPUT LEVEL knob to its center position and
then slowly increase the MASTER fader.
At this time, use the INPUT LEVEL knob to adjust the
input level so that the level changes in the -12–0 dB
range of the "IN" level meter.
The volume level is adjusted with the MASTER fader
and INPUT LEVEL knobs.
When monitoring through headphones, adjust the rear
panel PHONES VOLUME as well to a comfortable
volume.
