Channel Control Section
This section details the controls for each input channel.
-
MIC Input Jacks
Balanced XLR-type microphone input jacks (1: Ground; 2: Hot; 3: Cold).
-
LINE Input Jacks (TRS)
Balanced TRS phone-jack line inputs (T: Hot; R: Cold; S: Ground). You can connect either balanced or unbalanced phone plugs to these jacks.
-
LINE Input Jacks (Unbalanced)
Unbalanced phone-jack stereo line inputs.
-
INSERT Jacks
Each jack provides an insert point between the equalizer and fader of the corresponding input channel. Use to independently connect devices like graphic equalizers, compressors, or noise filters. These are TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) phone jacks carrying both send and return signals (tip = send/out; ring = return/in; sleeve = ground).
-
GAIN Control
Adjusts the input signal level. Adjust so the CLIP indicator lights only occasionally and briefly on the highest input transients for the best balance between S/N ratio and dynamic range.
-
Equalizer (HIGH, MID, and LOW)
This three-band equalizer adjusts the channel's high, mid, and low frequency bands. The '0' position provides a flat response. Turning right boosts, turning left attenuates. The following table shows EQ details:
Band Frequency Cut/Boost HIGH 12kHz ±15dB MID 2.5kHz ±15dB LOW 80Hz ±15dB -
AUX Control
Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the channel to the AUX bus.
-
EFFECT Controls
Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the channel to the EFFECT bus. Note that the channel fader also affects this level.
-
PEAK Indicator
Detects the peak level of the post-EQ signal. Lights red when the level reaches 3 dB below clipping.
-
PAN Control
Determines the stereo positioning of the channel signal on the Main L and R buses.
-
Channel Fader
Adjusts the level of the channel signal. Use these faders to balance the levels between channels.
Effect and Master Control Section
-
DELAY Control
Adjusts the effect speed.
-
REP Control
Adjusts the effect depth.
-
AUX Control
Adjusts the level of the signals sent to the AUX bus.
-
EFFECT RTN Fader
Adjusts the signal level sent from the internal digital effect unit to the MAIN bus.
-
PHANTOM +48 V Switch
Toggles phantom power on and off. When ON, the mixer supplies +48V phantom power to all channels with XLR mic input jacks. Turn ON when using one or more phantom-powered condenser microphones.
-
POWER Indicator
Lights when the mixer's power is ON.
-
Level Meter
LED meter displaying the level of the MAIN OUT signal. The "0" segment corresponds to the nominal output level. The CLIP segment lights red when the output reaches clipping level.
-
PHONES Control
Controls the level of the signal output to the PHONES jack.
-
MAIN OUT Master Fader
Adjusts the signal level sent to the MAIN OUT jacks.
MP3 Player and Rear Input/Output Section
-
USB MP3 PLAYER
- INDICATOR: Normal flashing indicates all songs cycle; quick flashing indicates single cycle.
- USB JACK: To insert an external USB disk.
- Play/Pause Control: [▶️] Play/Pause control button.
- Previous / Volume - Control: Press once for the previous song; press and hold for a few seconds to turn down the volume.
- Next / Volume + Control: Press once for the next song; press and hold for a few seconds to turn up the volume.
-
SEND Jacks
- MON: Impedance balanced phone-jack output for the MON bus. Use for connecting to effect units, cue boxes, or other monitoring systems.
- FX: Impedance balanced phone-jack output for the FX bus. Use for connecting to external effect units.
-
PHONES Jack
Connect a pair of headphones to this stereo phone jack.
-
TAPE OUT Jacks
RCA pin jacks connectable to an external recorder (e.g., MD recorder) to record the same signal output via the MAIN OUT jacks.
-
MAIN OUT Jacks
Deliver the mixer's stereo output. Connect to power amplifiers for main speakers, or to recording devices to record the stereo output while using the MAIN OUT Master fader for level control.
-
POWER Switch
Use this switch to turn the mixer's power ON or OFF. [CAUTION] Note that a small current continues to flow while the switch is in the OFF position. If you do not plan to use the mixer for a while, be sure to unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet.
-
AC ADAPTOR IN Connector
Connect the supplied power adaptor to this connector. [CAUTION] Use only the adaptor included with this mixer. Use of a different adaptor may result in fire or electric shock.
