Page 3: Important Remark
IMPORTANT REMARK The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. -

Page 6: Installation
All channels feature a lever switch input selector, independent gain control for each channel and 3-band tone controls with semiparametric adjustment for the mid-band. (Center frequency adjustable, fixed Q) All inputs are PFL capable in order to visually (through the VU meters) and acoustically (through headphones) monitor any signal connected to the inputs of the unit. -
Page 7: Connectable Signal Sources
5.2. Connectable Signal Sources • Turntables / Phono: They must be fitted with a magnetic cartridge with nominal output level between -60dBV and -20dBV (1 to 100 mV). The PHONO (38) inputs of the COMPACT 8 have a high headroom (margin before saturation) and it can handle higher output cartridges than what is usual. -
Page 8: Operation And Usage
OPERATION AND USAGE 6.1. Start up Power up the mixer by pushing the POWER (15) switch. The green pilot-light, integrated into the switch itself, will immediately light up. Although the noise generated by powering up the COMPACT 8 is reduced to a bare minimum and is nearly null with the OUT (17 and 20) controls down, it is always advisable not to forget about this power-up sequence: sound sources, mixer, equalizers, active filters and power amplifiers. -
Page 9: Channel Indicators
6.4. Channel indicators Each of the 8 input channels features two indicators. The green SP LED (4) shows the presence of signal on the currently selected input. The indicator lights up at a threshold of –40dBV. The red PEAK LED (3) warns about the risk of saturation, that is exceeding the recommended signal input level limit. -
Page 10: Considerations
The balanced circuit simulates an output transformer, so if you wish to use OUT 1 in non- balanced mode, you should short circuit the unused pin to ground. Otherwise, the signal will not have an appropriate level and quality. The OUT 2 output (33) is non-balanced or asymmetrical. The COMPACT 8 has one recording output REC (36), which is pre-talkover, i.e. -
