4. Setup Instructions

1. Power Connection: Connect the included external power adapter to the mixer's power input and then to a suitable power outlet.
2. Main Output Connection: Connect the MAIN OUT (L/R) XLR ports to your amplifier or powered speakers using appropriate cables.
3. Microphone/Instrument Connection:
   • For microphones, connect them to the MIC/LINE inputs (CH 1-2). If using a condenser microphone requiring phantom power, ensure the +48V switch is engaged.
   • For line-level instruments (e.g., keyboards, guitars with preamps), connect them to the MIC/LINE inputs or CH 3-4/5-6/7-8/9-10 inputs as needed.
4. Headphone Monitoring: Connect your headphones to the PHONES jack for real-time audio monitoring.
5. USB Drive/Computer Connection:
   • To play audio from a USB drive, insert the drive into the USB port.
   • To connect to a computer for recording or playback, use a USB cable to connect the mixer's USB port to your computer. The mixer should display "PC" when connected successfully. Note: Some users have reported issues with PC recognition. Ensure you are using a standard USB A-to-B cable (printer cable type) and that your computer's USB drivers are up to date. If connecting to a computer, the mixer may draw power from the USB connection, and the external power adapter might not be needed. Avoid using both simultaneously unless specified by the manufacturer.
6. Bluetooth Pairing:
   • Press the "Pair" button in the BT Player section.
   • On your device (smartphone, tablet), search for Bluetooth devices and select "WEYMIC A60" (or similar name).
   • Once paired, you can stream audio wirelessly to the mixer.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Basic Operation

1. Power On: Ensure all connections are secure, then turn on the mixer.
2. Adjust Gain: For each active input channel, adjust the GAIN control until the SIG (signal) indicator lights up consistently, but the PKI (peak) indicator only flashes occasionally during the loudest parts. Avoid constant PKI illumination to prevent distortion.
3. Equalization (EQ): Use the HIGH and LOW regulating knobs to shape the tone of each channel. Set to 0 for a flat response.
4. Channel Volume: Adjust the CHANNEL VOLUME fader for each channel to balance the mix.
5. Main Volume: Use the MAIN VOLUME knob to control the overall output level of the mixer.
