INSTALLING THE MIXER
Correct connection and positioning of your mixer is important for successful and trouble-free operation. The
following sections are intended to give guidance with cabling, connections and configuration of your mixer.
• Choose the mains supply for the sound system with care, and do not share sockets or earthing with
lighting dimmers.
• Position the mixer where the sound can be heard clearly.
• Run audio cables separately from dimmer wiring, using balanced lines wherever possible.
If necessary, cross audio and lighting cables at right angles to minimise the possibility of interference.
Keep unbalanced cabling as short as possible.
• Check your cables regularly and label each end for easy identification.
