USING HEADPHONES

To listen in privacy or monitor the audio

act passage or section before mixing it,
plug a pair of stereo headphones (not

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use headphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to
a comfortable level.

jack. The supplied adapter meets
these specifications. Using an
adapter that does not meet these
specifications could damage the
mixer or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to
the mixer before you connect it to
AC power. When you finish, dis-
connect the adapter from AC
power before you disconnect it
from the mixer.
Connect the small end of the sup-
plied AC adapter to
back of the mixer and connect the
other end to a standard AC outlet.
• Do not listen at extremely high vol-
ume levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent
hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a vol-
ume level that does not cause dis-
comfort might still damage your
hearing.
Caution: As you begin to mix, be careful
not to get into the habit of always in-
creasing volume levels to achieve the
proper balance. You can bring high lev-
els down just as easily as you can bring
low levels up. Listening at excessive vol-
ume levels will soon give you "tired ears"
and you will not be as pleased with your
finished product later.
