Before you can attach the rack mount wings to the mixing console, you need to remove the screws holding the left and right side panels. Use these screws to fasten the two wings onto the console, being careful to note that each wing fits a specific side. With the rack mount wings installed, you can mount the mixing console in a commercially available 19" rack. Be sure to allow for proper air flow around the unit, and do not place the mixing console close to radiators or power amps, so as to avoid overheating.

The console is connected to the mains via the cable supplied which meets the required safety standards. Blown fuses must only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating.
IEC MAINS RECEPTACLEThe mains connection is via a cable with IEC mains connector. An appropriate mains cable is supplied with the equipment.
POWER
Use the POWER switch to power up the mixing console.PHANTOMThe PHANTOM switch activates the phantom power supply for the XLR connectors of the mono channels which is required to operate condenser microphones. The red
+48 V LED lights up when phantom power is on. As a rule, dynamic microphones can still be used with phantom power switched on, provided that they are wired in a balanced configuration. In case of doubt, contact the microphone manufacturer!
◊After the phantom power supply has been switched on, do not connect microphones to the mixer (or the stagebox/wallbox). Connect the microphones before you switch phantom power on. In addition, the monitor/PA loudspeakers should be muted before activating the phantom power supply. After switching on, wait approx. one minute to allow the system
to stabilize.◊Caution! You must never use unbalanced XLR connectors (PIN 1 and 3 connected) on the MIC input connectors if you want to use the phantom power supply.
SERIAL NUMBERPlease note the important information on the serial number given in chapter 1.3.3.Here you can find a list of all presets stored in the multi- effects processor. This
These effect presets are designed to be added to dry signals. If you move the FX TO MAIN control, you mix the channel signal (dry) and the effect signal.
This also goes for mixing effects signals with the monitor mix. The main difference is that the mix ratio is adjusted using the FX TO MON control. Of course, a signal has to be fed into the effects processor via the FX control in the channel strip for both applications.
◊On the following page, you will find an illustration showing how to connect your foot switch correctly.
LEVEL
The LED level meter on the effects module should display a sufficiently high level. Take care to ensure that the clip LED only lights up at peak levels. If it is lit constantly, you are overloading the effects processor and this could cause unpleasant distortion. The FX control (AUX SEND 2) determines the level that reaches the effects module.
PROGRAMYou can select the effect preset by turning the PROGRAM control. The display flashes the number of the current preset. To recall the selected preset, press the button; the flashing stops. You can also recall the selected preset with the
foot switch.4.2 Cable connections
You will need a large number of cables for the various connections to and from the console. The illustrations below show the wiring of these cables. Be sure to use only
