• Livestreaming
• Home studios
• Home theater
• Karaoke
• Mobile music production
• Recording and music creation
• Rehearsals
• Live performances

Specifications

Note: 0 dBu = 0.775 Vrms, 0 dBV = 1 Vrms. All faders are set to nominal position (10 dB below maximum). Signal generator output impedance is 100 ohms, input impedance is 100k ohms (TRS phone outputs).

Function Overview & Connection Examples

The mixer features a comprehensive layout for signal routing and connection. Key connections include:

Inputs:

• [MIC/LINE] Input Jacks: Combo XLR/TRS jacks for microphones and line-level instruments.
• Stereo Line Inputs: For connecting keyboards, audio equipment, or other stereo sources.
• USB Interface: For connecting USB drives for playback/recording or connecting to a computer as an audio interface.

Outputs:

• Main Outputs: Balanced TRS jacks for connecting to main speakers or amplifiers.
• Monitor Outputs: Balanced TRS jacks for connecting to monitor speakers.
• Headphone Output: For connecting headphones.

The signal flow generally moves from input channels, through gain, EQ, and effects, to the main mix and then to the outputs.

Control and Functions

Front Panel Controls:

• [MIC/LINE] Input Jacks (2): Combo XLR/TRS jacks for microphones and line-level instruments.
• [PHANTOM] Power Switch / [+48V] LED (3): Activates 48V phantom power for condenser microphones. Ensure this is off when not needed or when connecting devices that do not support phantom power.
• [GAIN] Knob (4): Adjusts the sensitivity of input signals to achieve optimal internal control levels.
• [LOW CUT] Switch (5) (High-Pass Filter): Attenuates low frequencies below 100Hz by 12dB, useful for reducing rumble and handling noise on vocals.
• EQ Knobs (6) [HIGH], [LOW]: Adjusts high and low frequency tone. Set to '0' for a flat response.
• [EFFECT] Button (7): Activates built-in DSP effects for each channel.
• PEAK LED: Indicates when the input signal level is too high. Reduce GAIN if lit.
• [LEVEL] Knob (10): Adjusts the channel signal level. Turn down unused channels to reduce noise.
• [USB/BT LEVEL] Knob (13): Adjusts the level of the USB/Bluetooth channel signal.
• [MONITOR/PHONE] Knob (11): Adjusts the volume for headphones or monitor speakers.
• [MAIN MIX] Fader (12): Controls the overall output signal level to the main outputs.
• [EFFECT Level] Knob (15): Adjusts the amount of effect sent to the main bus.
• [MON and L/R] Toggle Switch (16): Routes the USB/BT channel signal to the L/R main outputs.
• Level Meter LED: Displays output signal levels (+10, 0, -15, -20 dB).
• [Display/MODE Button/PROGRAM Knob] (14): Used for function selection, playback control, and effect type selection. The PROGRAM knob selects and confirms settings.
• GAIN Switch: On stereo inputs, toggles between +4 dBu (High) and -10 dBV (LOW) signal levels.

Rear Panel Controls:

• [TYPE-C] Power Input (1): Connects to a USB power adapter for power.
• PC/DC Switch (18): Selects between PC (for computer connection) and DC (for other power sources, though primarily USB is used here).
• USB Port (19): For connecting USB flash drives.

Basic Operation

Signal Flow:

Sound enters through input channels (microphones or instruments), is adjusted for volume, tone, and effects, then mixed together. The final mixed signal is adjusted for overall volume before outputting to speakers or headphones.

Power Connection:

1. Ensure all switches on the mixer are off and the Type-C cable is disconnected.
2. Connect the included Type-C data cable to the mixer's Type-C input (1).
3. Connect the other end of the Type-C cable to a USB power adapter (output voltage 4.8V-5.2V, current 3A or higher).
4. Plug the USB power adapter into a standard AC power outlet (100-240V, 50/60Hz).

Note: If using a condenser microphone, remember to turn on the [+48V] phantom power switch (3).

Safety Warnings

To prevent electric shock, fire, and injury, please observe the following:

• Ensure power compatibility between connected equipment and the mixer. Avoid prolonged high-volume operation.
• If smoke, strange odors, or other abnormalities occur, immediately turn off power, unplug, and seek professional repair.
• Keep the product in a dry, ventilated area, away from fire, rain, liquid, and excessive impact. Do not block ventilation openings.
• If mounting on walls or ceilings, ensure secure fixation.
• Comply with all safety regulations and do not use in prohibited areas.
• Do not disassemble or repair the product yourself. Contact authorized service centers for assistance.
• Product suitability for elevation and climate depends on the adapter. Use only the recommended adapter. Symbols indicate use below 2000m and in non-tropical climates.
• Handle power cords carefully; do not step on them or place heavy objects on them. Ensure proper grounding.
• Clean only with a dry cloth or air blower; do not use cleaning fluids.
