Control Elements and Connectors

This chapter details the various controls, switches, and connectors.

Channel Input (Mono)

• [MIC/LINE] Mono Input: Connect microphones or instruments via XLR or 1/4" TS unbalanced plug.
• [+48V PHANTOM] Button/LED: Provides +48V phantom power for condenser microphones.
• [PAD] button: Attenuates input signal to prevent distortion.
• [GAIN] Controller: Adjusts the input gain for optimal volume. [PEAK] LED indicates clipping.
• [HIGH] Treble Tone Controller: Adjusts treble frequencies (+/- 15dB at 12KHz).
• [MID] Alto Tone Controller: Adjusts mid frequencies (+/- 15dB at 2.5KHz).
• [LOW] Bass Tone Controller: Adjusts bass frequencies (+/- 15dB at 80Hz).
• [FX] Controller: Adjusts the signal level sent to the reverberation line.
• [PEAK] LED: Flashes when input or processed signal is too high.
• [LEVEL] Controller: Adjusts the volume balance for each channel.

Each mono input channel supports both XLR and 1/4" TS unbalanced connections. Phantom power is available for condenser microphones.

Line Input

Each mono input also features a balanced line input on a 1/4" connector. Unbalanced devices can also be connected.

Gain

Use the GAIN control to adjust input gain. Turn fully counter-clockwise when connecting/disconnecting sources.

FX (Sends)

FX sends enable signals to be fed to external effects devices. The return from the effects unit is brought back into the console.

Main Control

Installation

Mains Connection

Connect the power supply to the 3-pin mains connector on the rear using the supplied AC adapter. Use only the provided power supply unit. Never connect the mixer to the power supply unit while the latter is connected to the mains. Both the power supply unit and the mixer may heat up during operation, which is normal.

Audio Connections

Use high-grade cables for connections. Commercial RCA cables are recommended for 2-track inputs/outputs. Unbalanced devices can be connected to balanced inputs/outputs using mono plugs or stereo plugs with bridged ring and sleeve (pins 1 and 3 for XLR).

Caution: Do not use unbalanced XLR connectors (pins 1 and 3 connected) on MIC inputs when using phantom power.

Connector Types:

• Balanced XLR: Input (1=ground/shield, 2=hot, 3=cold), Output (pins 1 and 3 bridged for unbalanced use).
• 1/4" TS Connector (Unbalanced): Tip (signal), Sleeve (ground/shield).
• 1/4" TRS Headphones Connector: Sleeve (ground/shield), Ring (left signal), Tip (right signal).
• 1/4" Mono Plug: Tip (signal), Sleeve (ground/shield).
• 1/4" TRS Connector (Balanced): Sleeve (ground/shield), Ring (cold), Tip (hot).
• 1/4" Stereo Plug: For balanced and unbalanced plugs, ring and sleeve must be bridged.
