Using Your Mixer

1Set the POWER switch to ON. To avoid popping sounds, always turn on the mixer before you turn on your amplifier.

2.Turn on the output amplifier and set its volume to minimum.

3.Set the audio input source’s volume to minimum. Turn on the source, and set it to play (or continuously talk into the microphone).

4.Adjust the mixer’s corresponding CHANNEL 1, 2, 3, or 4 to level 6-10. When mixing more than one audio input, adjust each input’s volume to about the same listening level.

5.Adjust the output amplifier’s volume as desired.

6.When you are finished mixing, turn off the mixer, the output amplifier, and all audio input sources.

Mixing Mono or Stereo

To mix mono signals with stereo signals, set STEREO/ MONO to STEREO.

When STEREO/MONO is set to MONO:

The mixer routes monaural input signals of devices connected (separately) to the mixer’s AUX 1 L, AUX 1 R, AUX 2 L, AUX 2 R jacks to both outputs.

The mixer changes stereo input signals of devices connected to the mixer’s AUX 1 L/R and AUX 2 L/R jacks to monaural signals.

For mono amplifiers (found in some PA systems), it is best to set MODE STEREO/MONO to MONO.

Voiceovers

Talk into a microphone to mix pre-recorded music or sound from an audio input source with your voice.

1.Before talking, adjust CHANNEL (corresponding to the connected audio source) to the desired volume level.

2.As the music plays, talk or sing into the microphone. Adjust the microphone and audio levels so you can hear yourself over the music.

3.If you pause and stop talking or singing, adjust CHANNEL to its original position (step 1).

4.When finished, adjust the microphone’s volume to 0 and the audio source’s CHANNEL to its original position (step 1).
