Installation And Connection - Alto GHIBLI 16 Owner's Manual

5. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

OK, you have got to this point and you are now in the position to successfully operate
your GHIBLI 16(FX): However , we advise you to read carefully the following section to
get the best out of your GHIBLI 16(FX).
Not paying enough attention to the input signal level, to the routing of the signal and
the assignment of the signal will result in unwanted distortion, a corrupted signal or
no sound at all. So you should follow these procedures before operation:
1. Before connecting microphones or instruments, make sure that the power of all
your systems components including the GHIBLI 16(FX) is turned off. Also, make
sure that all input and output controls are turned down. This will avoid damage to
your speakers and excessive noise.
2. Properly connect all external equipment such as microphone, power amplifier ,
speakers etc.
3. Now, turn on the power of any peripheral devices, then connect the 18 VAC power
supply to your GHIBLI 16(FX) and to the AC socket.
NOTE: The power amplifier or powered monitors shall be turned ON after the
GHIBLI 16(FX) and OFF before the GHIBLI 16(FX) is turned OFF .
4. Set the output level of your GHIBLI 16(FX) or the connected power amplifier at no
more than 75%.
5. Set the PHONES level at no more than 50%.
6. Set HI, MID and LOW EQ controls on center position.
7. Set panoramic ( PAN / BAL ) control on center position.
8. While speaking into the microphone (or playing the instrument) at normal volume,
adjust the channel gain control until the 0dB LED lights up; in this way, you will
maintain good headroom and proper dynamic range.
9. Y ou can shape the tone of each channel by adjusting the equalizer controls as
desired.
10.Now repeat the same sequence for all input channels. The Main LED Meter could
move up into the red section. In this case, you can adjust the overall output level
through the MAIN MIX control..
