1.2 The user’s manual
The user’s manual is designed to give you both an overview of the controls, as well as detailed information on how to use them. In order to help you understand the links between the controls, we have arranged them in groups according to their function. If you need to know more about specific issues, please visit our website at http://www.behringer.com, where you’ll find explanations of e.g. effects and dynamics applications.
+The block diagram supplied with the mixing console gives you an overview of the connections between the inputs and outputs, as well as the associated switches and controls.
For the moment, just try and trace the signal path from the microphone input to the aux send 1 connector. Don’t be put off by the huge range of possibilities; it’s easier than you think! If you look at the overview of the controls at the same time, you’ll be able to quickly familiarize yourself with your mixing console and you’ll soon be making the most of all its many possibilities.

MIC
Each mono input channel offers a balanced microphone input via XLR as well as switchable phantom power (+48 volt) for powering condenser microphones.
