First, you must read and follow all the safety instructions on page 2.
Before you get to work, please read the “Quick Start” section on page 6. It’s a list of steps that will familiarize you with the mixer and help you set up a basic performance. The rest of the manual explains the mixer’s features in excruciating detail.
This manual covers both mixers. The 32•4- VLZ PRO has eight more mic/line channel strips, otherwise the two models are identical.
About all those numbers:Every feature on the mixer has a number assigned to it. Whenever a feature is illustrated described or mentioned, its number will be right next to it. They’ll help you find your way around this whopping opus, and we opus you will like it.
Every feature of the mixer is described “geo- graphically;” in other words, in order of where it is physically placed on the mixer’s top or rear panel. These descriptions are divided into three chapters, just as your mixer is organized into three distinct zones:
PATCHBAY (page 14)Along the back where everything plugs in.
CHANNEL STRIPS (page 19)The mono mic/line channel strips and the two stereo line channel strips.
MASTER SECTION (page 22)The section on the right.
This icon marks information that is critically important or unique to your mixer. For your own good, read and remember them.

This entire manual is condensed onto one page, albeit in hieroglyphics: see the Block Diagram on page 28.
