Using Your Mixer

1

Set the POWER switch to ON. To avoid popping
sounds, always turn on the mixer before you turn on
your amplifier.

2.

Turn on the output amplifier and set its volume to
minimum.

3.

Set the audio input source’s volume to minimum. Turn
on the source, and set it to play (or continuously talk
into the microphone).

4.

Adjust the mixer’s corresponding CHANNEL 1, 2, 3,
or 4 to level 6-10. When mixing more than one audio
input, adjust each input’s volume to about the same
listening level.

5.

Adjust the output amplifier’s volume as desired.

6.

When you are finished mixing, turn off the mixer, the
output amplifier, and all audio input sources.

Mixing Mono or Stereo

To mix mono signals with stereo signals, set STEREO/
MONO to STEREO.

When STEREO/MONO is set to MONO:

The mixer routes monaural input signals of devices
connected (separately) to the mixer’s AUX 1 L, AUX 1 R,
AUX 2 L, AUX 2 R jacks to both outputs.

The mixer changes stereo input signals of devices connected
to the mixer’s AUX 1 L/R and AUX 2 L/R jacks to monaural
signals.

For mono amplifiers (found in some PA systems), it is best
to set MODE STEREO/MONO to MONO.

Voiceovers

Talk into a microphone to mix pre-recorded music or
sound from an audio input source with your voice.

1.

Before talking, adjust CHANNEL (corresponding to
the connected audio source) to the desired volume
level.

2.

As the music plays, talk or sing into the microphone.
Adjust the microphone and audio levels so you can
hear yourself over the music.

3.

If you pause and stop talking or singing, adjust
CHANNEL to its original position (step 1).

4.

When finished, adjust the microphone’s volume to
0 and the audio source’s CHANNEL to its original
position (step 1).

Heat — The appliance should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Power Sources — Operate this appliance using only the
power source indicated on its marking label. If you are not
sure of your home’s power type, consult your appliance
dealer or local power company.

Power-Cord Protection — Route power-supply cords so
they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed on or against them, paying particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the appliance.

Power Lines — An outside antenna system should not
be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into
such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them
might be fatal.

Nonuse Periods — The power cord of the appliance should
be unplugged from the outlet when the appliance is to be
left unused for a long period of time.

Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles, as this can result
in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Objects and Liquids — Never push objects of any kind
into this appliance through openings, as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result
in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on
the appliance.

Carts and Stands — If the appliance is used with a cart or
stand, the cart or stand should be a type recommended
by the manufacturer. An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.

Damage Requiring Service — Unplug this appliance
from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:

• When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the

appliance.

• If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the appliance does not operate normally by following

the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that

adjustment of other controls may result in damage and
will often require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the appliance to normal operation.

• If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any

way.

• When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in

performance.

Servicing — Do not attempt to service this appliance
yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.

Replacement Parts — When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have
the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other
hazards.

Safety Check — Upon completion of any service or repairs
to this appliance, ask the service technician to perform
safety checks to determine that the appliance is in proper
operating condition.

lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will
prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power
line surges.
