Setting Controls and Turning Unit On

Set master controls to around 6 and all other controls to 0. Turn on power by placing the OFF/ON switch, located
adjacent to the IEC cord receptacle (Fig.6), in the ON position.

Adjusting Gain and Volume Controls (Faders)

Adjust the channel GAIN controls (Fig. 7) for desired level from the speakers. If the desired level is reached with the
channel GAIN at a low setting (1-3), lower the MASTER VOLUME controls (Fig.8). If the channel GAIN needs to be
set at 9-10 for desired volume, raise the MASTER VOLUME controls. The L and R MASTER VOLUME controls
adjust the left and right speakers.

Adjusting Tone Controls

Adjust the channel BASS and TREBLE controls (Fig. 7) as necessary to achieve desired sound. However, use
moderation in setting channel tone controls. Extreme settings of these controls can adversely affect sound quality.
Large amounts of boost (+) on these controls can also increase the chance of feedback on microphone inputs.

Using the Graphic Equalizer

Unlike the BASS and TREBLE controls on each channel that adjust only the tone of their own input signals, the 5-band
graphic equalizer adjusts the tonal balance of all the signals going through the powered mixer. This gives the user greater
flexibility in adjusting the sound, but use moderation in making adjustments.
