The mixer will not pass audio when in the Setup Menu. When in the Setup Menu the flashing
LED on the left meter (L) position indicates the selected setup feature. The right meter (R) position
indicates the values selected for the setup. Use the PK/VU button advance from one setup to
another. If the intended setup is passed, setup mode must be re-entered since you can only step
forward through the Setup Menu.
To adjust values, the meter brightness button (down) and the battery check button (up) allow
selection among setup values. Some setups have multiple values while others have only two values.
Setup Example
The following steps show how to change the tone frequency from the factory default of 1 kHz to 100
Hz.
1. Enter the setup menu by pressing and holding down the PK/VU button while powering the
mixer. Hold the button until the –30 LED begins flashing.
2. Press the PK/VU button six times until the left meter LED flashes at the –16 position (see
Setup Chart for a list of all setups).
3. To move among parameter values, press the brightness button (down) and battery check
button (up) until the 100 Hz position is selected (–24 LED will illuminate solid).
4. Press the PK/VU button multiple times until the meters perform their scrolling dance. This
saves the new setting into memory.
To save new values to memory, the PK/VU button must be repeatedly pressed until the last setup is
reached. At that point the meters will “dance” and the new values will be saved to memory.
