9. User Tips

  • Gain Staging: Always set your input gain (4) first. Aim for a strong signal without hitting the Peak indicator (8) to ensure optimal signal-to-noise ratio.
  • Effect Usage: Experiment with the 99 DSP effects (15) to find the best sound for your application. Start with subtle amounts and increase as needed using the Aux Effect Adjustment (16).
  • EQ for Clarity: Use the EQ controls (5) and 7-band equalization (14) to enhance clarity and balance. Cutting frequencies is often more effective than boosting to clean up a mix.
  • Safe Shutdown: Always power down your mixer after use by turning off the power switch (19) and then disconnecting the power cable.
