the unbalanced input to LINE IN 5/6, rotate the PAN knob of the corresponding channel on LINE IN 7/8 to LEFT or RIGHT, a. The unbalanced output of AUX1, AUX2 which has tested is +2dBu (±2dB) THD+N=0.005%; b. Adjust the AUX1, AUX2 knob to min, the unbalanced output (LEFT & RIGHT) of MAIN MIX OUTPUT is -5dBu (±2dB) THD+N=0.005% (when it is in MONO input, only the corresponding channel has output).

Note: The frequency response test for regular instrument: 1). Input signal from each channel, rotate the corresponding channel of EQ LOW knob to max (±15) in clockwise, and the output is +15dBu (±2dBu); rotate the corresponding channel of EQ LOW to min (-15) in counterclockwise, and the output is -15dBu (±2dB);...

keys to OFF. 2). Input 0dBu to AP, connect the balanced input to MIC1, MIC2, rotate the LEVEL on CH1 CH2 to max, and connect the unbalanced output to MAIN MIX OUTPUT, the output is +10dBu (±2dB) THD+N<0.005%. 3). Switch the USB RECORD to CH1/2, the USB PLAYBACK to MAIN MIX, and connect the USB line to PC.
