A ducking circuit allows a signal on either channel 1 or 2 to duck (attenuate) the signal on channels 3 through 8. Internally the DLM-821 can be configured for ch.1 pri- ority whereby a signal on ch. 1 has priority over the signal on ch.
5.7 Stereo Output Mute This switch entirely mutes the main stereo out- put. The headphone and mono output are not affected. This is particularly useful when the DLM-821 is used as a sub-mixer. 5.8 Mono and Headphone Level The inner knob is the master gain control for the mono output, which is the combined signal of the left and right outputs.

6. CONNECTIONS AND CABLES 6.1 Inputs The DLM-821 stereo inputs use two 20k ohm balanced (10k ohm unbalanced) Euroblock connectors per channel. Wire the (+) signal to the (+) terminal, the (-) signal to the (-) terminal, and the shield to G. If an unbalanced (two conductor) input signal is used, connect the shield to both (-) and G.
7.1 Small Sound Reinforcement System In the setup shown here, the DLM-821 is used to mix typical sound sources that might be found in a small club, school theater or similar environment. INPUT channels 1 & 2 are used for microphones for live vocal or instru- mental pickup.
If possible, feed everything in the system from one power source with a common ground. If you need help, get in touch with your Ashly dealer or call an Ashly technical service representative at 1-800-828-6308.
