5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Basic Mixing

1. Initial Settings: Before playing any audio, set all channel GAIN knobs to minimum, all channel faders to minimum, and the MAIN OUT faders to minimum.
2. Connect Sources: Connect your microphones and instruments as described in the Setup section.
3. Set Gain: For each active channel, slowly increase the GAIN knob while speaking into the microphone or playing the instrument. Observe the PEAK indicator; it should only flash occasionally on the loudest peaks. If it stays lit, reduce the GAIN.
4. Adjust Channel Volume: Slowly raise the channel fader for each active channel to the desired level in the mix.
5. Adjust Main Output: Gradually raise the L-MAIN-R faders to achieve the desired overall volume from your main speakers.

5.2 Equalization (EQ)

Each mono channel features a 3-band EQ (HIGH, MID, LOW) to shape the tone of individual inputs:

• HIGH: Adjusts the high frequencies (treble). Turn clockwise to boost, counter-clockwise to cut.
• MID: Adjusts the mid-range frequencies.
• LOW: Adjusts the low frequencies (bass).

Use the Graphic Equalizer in the master section to fine-tune the overall sound of your mix.

5.3 Effects (EFF)

The Micfuns M6 includes a built-in digital effect processor:

1. Send to Effect: For each channel you want to apply effects to, turn up the EFF knob on that channel.
2. Adjust Effect Type/Parameter: Use the DELAY and REVERB knobs in the master effect section to select and adjust the desired effect.
3. Master Effect Level: Use the EFFECT fader in the master section to control the overall volume of the applied effects.

5.4 Monitoring

Use the PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) button on each channel and the PHONE output to monitor individual channels or the main mix through headphones without affecting the main output.

• Press the PFL button on a channel to listen to its signal before the channel fader.
• Adjust the PHONE knob in the master section to control the headphone volume.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the mixer's surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents.
• Dust: Keep the mixer free from dust. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clean around knobs and faders.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the mixer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
