INSTALLATION 6.
Rack mounting 6.1
The packaging of your mixing console contains two 19" rack
mounts for installation on the side panels of the console.
Before you can attach the rack mounts to the mixing
console, you need to remove the screws holding the left
and right side panels. Then, use these screws to fasten the
two rack mounts, each specifically to one side. With the
rack mounts installed, you can mount the mixing console
in a commercially available 19" rack. Be sure to allow for
proper air flow around the unit, and do not place the mixing
console close to radiators or power amps, so as to avoid
overheating.
Only use the screws holding the mixing console side ◊
panels to fasten the 19" rack mounts.
Cable connections 6.2
You will need a large number of cables for the various
connections of the console. The illustrations below show the
wiring of these cables. Be sure to use only high-grade cables.

Audio connections 6.2.1
Please use commercial RCA cables to wire the 2-track inputs
and outputs.
You can, of course, also connect unbalanced devices to
the balanced input/outputs. Use either mono plugs, or use
stereo plugs to link the ring and shaft (or pins 1 & 3 in the
case of XLR connectors).
