    right output and inputs 13, 15 and 17 going to the left out- put. Sends and Returns Both send 1 and send 2 provide up to 6 dB of post-fader gain over Channels 1 to 12. There are also two returns; one mono return and one stereo pair.
  • Page 6: Applications And Hints

    Applications and Hints Gain Settings The gain provided from turning up the Left and Right Level pots can help drive a power amplifier or boost a signal from - 10 to +4 dB signal levels. For unity gain these pots should be set to about 9 o’clock.

    so that the effects unit is getting the “hottest” possible signal without overloading. Set the effects unit to output wet (processed) signal only and use the MicroMixer’s return level to control the mix of processed and non-processed signal. When performing live, you can use one of the sends for an on-stage monitor mix.
  • Page 8: Setting Up

    Setting Up Plugging in Line Level Instruments When first setting up, you should decide which instruments you want to be panable and which should run into the unity gain inputs. We recommend that you refer to the “Typical Set-Up - Fig. 2” diagram. For the instruments that are connected to inputs 1 through 12, make sure that they are set to their maximum volume, and control the mix level from the channel gain pots.
