SIGNAL FLOW

NOTE: It is important to remember the Golden Rule of audio … " LAST ON, FIRST OFF". Translated, this means that when turning on your system, you should always turn your power amplifiers or powered monitors on LAST, and when turning your system off, turn your power amps off FIRST. This helps avoid any loud pops caused by inrush current at power up, which can sometimes damage loudspeakers.

1Before connecting your dB500’s, make sure that the power of all your systems compo- nents is turned off. Also, make sure that your power amplifier volume controls and the main left and right faders of your mixer are turned all the way down.

2Connect the cables to your microphones and instruments, or a CD player, to your mixer.

3Switch on the power of the mixer, instruments and/or CD player, and then switch on your power amplifier.

4While speaking into the mic (or playing the instrument or CD), raise the mixers main Left and Right faders to the "0" position. Be sure that the mixer’s output meters are not clipping. If they are, adjust the mixer volumes down until the signal cleans up.

5Now, slowly raise your power amp until you reach the desired listening level.
