6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Basic Operation
- Power On: Flip the POWER switch on the rear panel to the 'ON' position.
- Master Volume: Slowly raise the MASTER VOLUME (left/right) faders to a desired listening level.
- Channel Volume: Adjust individual channel volume faders as needed.
6.2 Channel Controls
- GAIN: Adjusts the input sensitivity for each channel. Set it so the PFL LED occasionally flashes, but does not stay lit.
- EQUALIZER (HIGH, MID, LOW): Adjusts the treble, midrange, and bass frequencies for each channel.
- AUX: Controls the level of the signal sent to the AUX output (e.g., for stage monitoring).
- FX: Controls the level of the signal sent to the internal effects processor.
- PAN: Pans the channel signal between the left and right stereo outputs.
- MUTE: Mutes the channel output.
- PFL (Pre-Fader Listen): Sends the channel signal to the headphones for monitoring before the fader.
6.3 Wireless Microphones
The Powermake 600 includes two UHF wireless microphones. To use them:
- Insert 2 AA batteries into each microphone (not included).
- Turn on the microphones.
- Press the SYNC button on the mixer's wireless receiver section to automatically synchronize the microphone frequencies.
Note: Both wireless microphones operate on Channel 1 of the mixer and share its tone controls. Individual EQ adjustments for each wireless microphone are not possible.

8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No sound output | Power off; Master volume low; Speaker cables disconnected; Channel faders down. | Check power, raise master and channel volumes, ensure speaker cables are securely connected. |
| Wireless microphone not working | Dead batteries; Not synchronized; Out of range. | Replace batteries, re-sync microphones with the mixer, ensure microphones are within operating range. |
| Loud fan noise | Normal operation characteristic; Dust in fan. | This can be a characteristic of the unit, especially at higher loads. Ensure fan vents are clear. If excessive, contact support. |
| Distorted sound | Input gain too high; Master volume too high. | Reduce input GAIN on channels, lower master volume. Ensure PFL LEDs are not constantly lit. |
