2. POWER SWITCH – Turns the mixer

and before you turn on amplifiers.
Turn off amplifiers before you turn off
the mixer.
3. MIC INPUT – Connect a microphone
to these inputs with an XLR cable.
4. LINE INPUT * – Connect line-level
devices to these inputs with 1/4"

"1 MON." You can use this to create a
custom monitor mix for yourself or
your musicians.
10. AUX SEND 2 FX – Adjusts the
channel audio (post-EQ) level that is sent to the
mixer's internal effects processor. Turn this up for the
channels that you want internal effects applied to.
You can use this to apply external effects to individual

position in the stereo field.
12. BALANCE (CH 3/4 & 5/6) – Adjusts the balance
between Channels 3 and 4 and Channels 5 and 6.

clipping. If this happens, decrease the setting of the
GAIN knob or CHANNEL VOLUME knob.
14. CHANNEL VOLUME – Adjusts the audio level on the
channel.
15. AUX RETURN INPUTS ** – You can connect the
outputs of an external device to these inputs with 1/4"
mono cables. This is usually used for outboard
effects devices but can also be used like an extra input channel for synthesizers, drum machines, etc.
If your source is mono, plug it into the left jack and it will be heard on both the left and right sides.
16. AUX SEND OUTPUTS ** – You can use a 1/4" TRS cable to connect the AUX 1 MON output to the
input of an external amplifier or active monitor to create a custom monitor mix for onstage musicians.
You can adjust this level with the AUX RETURN LEVEL knob labeled "TO AUX 1 MON." To use an
external effects rack unit, compressor, etc. with the mixer, you can use a Y-cable to connect the AUX 2
FX output to the input of your external device, then connect the outputs of the device to the AUX
RETURN INPUTS of the mixer.
* When using LINE INPUTS 3/4, 5/6 and the
AUX RETURNS:
• If only the left channel is used, the signal
will be heard in both left and right
channels and the balance will not be
adjustable.
• If only the right channel is used, the signal
will be heard in the right channel only.
** To use an external effects rack unit,
compressor, etc., use a Y-cable (1/4" stereo
to two 1/4" mono) to connect the AUX SEND
"2 FX" output to the left and right inputs your
external device. Connect the outputs of your
external device to the left and right AUX
