Getting Started
The following steps will help you set up the 802VLZ4
mixer quickly.
1. Make all initial connections with the power
switches OFF on all equipment. Make sure the
gain knobs and main mix knob are fully down
[counter-clockwise].
2. Set the level knobs and EQ knobs at the center
[unity].
3. Connect the signal source to the input of
channel 1.
4. Connect the main outputs of the 802VLZ4
to the inputs of powered speakers [or to
the inputs of an amplifier which should
be connected to passive speakers].
5. Push the 3-pin female side of the power adaptor
securely into the connector on the rear of the
802VLZ4. Plug the other end into an AC outlet
properly configured with the correct voltage as
indicated on the AC adaptor.
6. Light some incense, man...
7. Turn the mixer on.
8. Turn the speakers on.
9. Start the signal source and raise the main mix
knob up until audio may be heard through the
speakers.
10. Adjust the gain control so that the meter display
stays around "0" [Level Set] and never goes
higher than "+6".
11. If you’d like to apply some EQ, do so now and
repeat step 9.
12. Repeat for the remaining channels, if required.
Things to Remember
• Never listen to loud music for prolonged
periods. Please see the Safety Instructions on
page 3 for information on hearing protection.
• As a general guide, the 802VLZ4 should be
turned on first, then the speakers. As such,
the mixer should also be turned off last.
This will reduce the possibility of any turn-on
or turn-off thumps and other noises generated
by any upstream equipment from coming out
of the speakers.
• Save the shipping boxes and packing materials!
You may need them someday. Besides, the cats
will love playing in them and jumping out at
you unexpectedly. Remember to pretend that
you are surprised!
• Save your sales receipt in a safe place.
