and procedures will vary somewhat according to the input devices you are using.

Step 3 Powering Up the System

To prevent an unwanted burst of noise from the
speakers, power up the devices in the following
order: peripheral devices (instruments, micro-
phones, etc.) → mixing console → power amps
(or powered speakers).
Reverse this order when turning the power off.
WARNING
Be sure to turn the power on/off in the order given in Step 3
above every time you use the mixer. Failure to do so may
result in loud noise bursts that can damage your equipment,
your ears, or both.
NOTICE
If you are using condenser microphones that require phantom
power, turn the mixer's [PHANTOM +48V] switch on before
turning on the power to the power amps or powered speakers.
See page 17 for details. Also, read the details about the
[PHANTOM +48V] switch on page 17 before turning the switch
on.
