1. POWER SWITCH -
This is the main power ON/OFF button. A yellow LED below the power switch will glow when power is
ON. Before you turn the power on be sure you have made all connections to the mixer. Also be sure you
amplifiers are turned off. Remember mixer on first and turned off last.
2. MASTER LEVEL INDICATORS -
The dual MASTER LEVEL LED indicators along the top of unit is used to detail the master output
level. The meter will detail the output level of the left and right channels.
3. CHANNEL GAIN CONTROL -
This adjustment is used to adjust an audio source signal input gain for a channel. Never use the gain
control to adjust output volume. Setting the gain level properly will ensure a clean output signal. An
improper gain level adjustment will send a distorted signal throughout the entire audio line. To prop-
erly set the gain level control:
1. Be sure the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (13) is set to minimum (zero output).
2. Set the CHANNEL FADER (6) to level 7.
3. Begin play on an audio source connected to the channel you are adjusting.
4. Turn the CUE (7) function on for the channel you are adjusting.
6. Use the GAIN CONTROL to adjust an average output volume of +4 dB in the LED
LEVEL INDICATOR (2).
4. CHANNEL EQ SECTION -
CHANNEL BASS EQUALIZER - Each of the three channels come with a BASS signal output
EQ. These controls are used to increase (up to +15dB) or decrease (down to -35dB) the LOW
range output signal. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to decrease a value or clockwise to
increase a value.
