1.1Before you get started

1.1.1 Shipment

The PRO MIXER was carefully packed at the assembly plant to assure secure transport. Should the condition of the cardboard box suggest that damage may have taken place, please inspect the unit immediately and look for physical indications of damage.

+If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the shipping company immediately. Otherwise, claims for damage or replacement may not be granted.

1.1.2 Initial operation

Please make sure the unit is provided with sufficient ventilation, and never place the PRO MIXER on top of an amplifier or in the vicinity of a heater to avoid the risk of overheating.

For rack mounting, please use M6 metal nuts and bolts.

+Before plugging the unit into a power socket, please make sure you have selected the correct voltage:

The fuse compartment near the power plug socket contains three triangular markings. Two of these triangles are opposite one another. The voltage indicated adjacent to these markings is the voltage to which your unit has been set up, and can be altered by rotating the fuse compartment by 180°. ATTENTION: This does not apply to export models that were for example manufactured only for use with 120 V!

+If you alter the unit’s voltage, you must change the fuses accordingly. The correct value of the fuses needed can be found in the chapter

“SPECIFICATIONS”.

+Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses of appropriate rating without exception! The correct value of the fuses needed can be found in the chapter “SPECIFICATIONS”.

Power is delivered via the cable enclosed with the unit. All required safety precautions have been adhered to.

+Please make sure that all units have a proper ground connection. For your own safety, never remove or disable the ground conductor from the unit or on the AC power cord. The unit should always be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

+When installing the product, ensure the appliance coupler of power cord is easily accessible for disconnecting the unit from mains.
