Getting Started; Channel Setup - Phonic Mixing Console User Manual

GETTING STARTED

1. Ensure all power is turned off on your mixer. To
totally ensure this, the power adapter should
not be connected to the unit.
2. All faders and level controls should be set at
the lowest level and all channels muted to
ensure no sound is inadvertently sent through
the outputs when the device is switched on.
All levels can be altered to acceptable degrees
after the device is turned on using the channel
setup instructions.
3. Plug any necessary equipment into the de-
vice's various inputs and outputs. This could
include amplifiers and speakers, monitors,
signal processors, recording devices, guitars,
keyboards, microphones, and so on.
4. Plug the supplied power adapter into the power
inlet on the back of the device and then into a
power outlet of a suitable voltage.
. Turn the power switch on and follow the channel
setup instructions to get the most out of your
equipment.

CHANNEL SETUP

1. To ensure the correct audio level of the input
channel is selected, each of the level input
controls of the Mixer should be turned counter-
clockwise or down as far as they will go and the
mute buttons should all be engaged.
2. No input other than the one being set should
have any device plugged in. This will ensure the
purest signal is used when setting channels.
3. Adjust the LEVEL and AUX 1 volume controls
of the channel you are setting to around the 2
o'clock mark. Also set the Main L-R fader to the
0 dB mark.
4. Press the AUX 1 button on the Control Room
Source section down (making sure all others
are released), allowing the level meter to
display the level of the channel being set.
. Ensure the channel has a signal sent to it similar
to the signal that will be sent when in common
use. For example, if the channel is using a
microphone, then you should speak or sing at
the same level the performer normally would
during a performance; if a guitar is plugged
into the channel, then the guitar should also be
strummed as it normally would be (and so on).
This ensures levels are completely accurate
and avoids having to reset them later.
6. Set the channel's gain so that the Level Meter
indicates the audio level is around 0 dB,
ensuring the level never reaches +5 dB.
7. This channel is now ready to be used; you can
stop making the audio signal.
8. You can now select another channel and repeat
the same process.
