1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have purchased a state-of-the-art mixing console that sets new standards. In combination
with its comprehensive range of features and pro-level connections, the machine will be your perfect tool for
any kind of application: broadcasting, video dubbing or giving the sound of your band its finishing touch.
1.1 Before you begin
Your machine was carefully packed in the factory and the packaging is designed to protect the unit from rough
handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging and its contents for any signs
of physical damage, which may have occurred during transit.
If the unit is damaged, please do not return it to our company, but notify your dealer and
the shipping company immediately, otherwise claims for damage or replacement may not
be granted. Shipping claims must be made by the consignee.
Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling purposes and to avoid over-heating. Please
do not place your mixing console on high-temperature devices such as radiators or power amps.
1.2 Control Elements and Connectors
MIC/LINE: Accepts XLR and 1/4" connectors. Connect microphones or instruments.
1
The phantom power required for condenser mics can be activated with switch PHANTOM.
2
PHANTOM/+48V LED: When the phantom power of the channel is turned on, the red +48V light is on.
TRIM: Use the TRIM control to adjust the input gain. This control should always be turned fully
3
counterclockwise whenever you connect or disconnect a signal source to one of the Inputs.
LOW CUT: In addition, the mono channels are equipped with a steep LOW CUT filter (slope at
4
18 dB/oct., -3 dB at 75 Hz) designed to eliminate unwanted low-frequency signal components.
EQ: The upper (HIGH) and the lower band (LOW) are shelving filters that increase
5
6
7
or decrease all frequencies above or below their cut-off frequency. The cut-off
frequencies of the upper and lower band are 12 kHz and 80 Hz respectively.
The mid band is configured as a peak filter with a center frequency of 2.5 kHz.
8
CLIP LED: The CLIP LEDʼs of the mono channels illuminate when the input signal is driven too high,
which could cause distortion. If this happens, use the TRIM control to reduce the preamp level until
the LED does not light anymore.
9
FX: The FX sends enable you to feed signals via a variable control from one or more channels and
sum these signals to a bus. The bus appears at the consoleʼs FX send output and can be fed from
there to an external effects device. The return from the effects unit is then brought back into the
console on the stereo channels. Each FX send is mono and features up to +10 dB gain.
PAN: The PAN control determines the position of the channel signal within the stereo image.
10
This control features a constant-power characteristic, which means the signal is always
maintained at a constant level, irrespective of position in the stereo panorama.
11
LEVEL: The LEVEL control determines the level of the channel signal in the main mix.
12
LINE IN: Each stereo channel has two balanced line level inputs on 1/4" jacks for left (L/MONO) and
right (R) channels. If you use only the (L/MONO) jack, same sound is output from both left and right
speakers.
13
FX SEND: The FX SEND connector outputs the signal you picked up from the individual channels using
the FX SEND controls. You can connect this to the input of an external effects device in order to process
the FX bus master signal. Once an effects mix is created, the processed signal can then be routed from
the effects device outputs back into a stereo input.
PHONES: The stereo PHONES jack (at the top of the connector panel) is where headphones are
14
connected. The unbalanced CTRL ROOM OUT jacks carry the summed effects and main mix
signals, as well as soloed channel signals. The PHONES/CONTROL ROOM control in the main section
adjusts the level of both headphones and main monitor outputs.
CTRL ROOM OUT: The unbalanced CTRL ROOM OUT jacks carry the summed effects and main mix
15
signals, as well as soloed channel signals. The PHONES/CTRL ROOM control adjusts the level of both
headphones and main monitor outputs.
