Setup

Important: Connect cables with all equipment powered off, and ensure that all volume controls are turned
down.
To setup the mixer and speakers:
1. Position the mixer in the middle of the speakers, with enough distance between the speakers for
maximum stereo separation.
2. Plug the speaker cables into the left and right Speaker Outputs on the back of the mixer.
3. Set all channel Level knobs to their minimum positions, set the Master Level knob to zero, and set
EQs flat.
4. Connect your mic or instrument to the channel.
5. Set the Master Level knob to no more than 70%.
6. Connect the mixer's power cable to a power outlet, and set the power switch to On.
7. Adjust the channel Level knob to reach the desired level without distortion.
To set up a mic or instrument on another channel, repeat Steps 4–7.
Installation Tips
•
Place the speakers in a position that allows for unobstructed sound projection. In many instances, it is
beneficial to place speakers on tripod stands at a suitable height in order to achieve maximum
dispersion and reach.
•
Avoid pointing the microphone directly at the speaker. This can cause feedback or damage speaker
components as well as your hearing.
Cleaning
When necessary, use compressed air or a dry cloth to keep the mixer clean and dust-free. Do not use any
solvents such as benzol or alcohol.
