Information on knob settings:

A. In this diagram, the knobs shown are the only
ones that affect the sound. The rest can be
ignored. The knobs directly below the MIC 1
input jack only control the microphone signal.
The knob positions shown here are an ideal
starting place.
Generally, the black LEVEL knobs across the bottom control
the level that go to your video. From left to right, the LEVEL
1 knob will control the MIC level. Level 5/6 controls the
MUSIC level. The MAIN MIX knob controls the overall level
of the MIC and MUSIC blended together.
With the MAIN MIX and the LEVEL 1 knobs in the straight
up (noon) position, speak into your microphone and use
the black GAIN knob on channel 1 to set the general level
for your microphone.
Pay attention to the red CLIP lights. If they light up when
you speak into your microphone, the GAIN is set too high.
The red AUX knobs control the level of sound going to the
speakers in the room. This only affects what the instructor
hears and does not affect the sound going into the video
stream for the audience to hear.
The AUX PRE knobs adjust how much of each sound source
go to the speakers.
While playing music from your music player, slowly bringup
the AUX PRE knob on channel 5/6 until you get the desired
sound level in the room.
If microphone signal is needed in the speakers, turn up
the AUX PRE knob on Channel 1 slowly while talking into
the microphone until the desired level is achieved through
the speakers. In most cases, we recommend leaving this
turned down as low as possible to avoid feedback or echo.
