Presetting the Controls Before Use

Since sudden high output levels from your PYRAMID mixer can damage not only audio devices connected to the mixer output but your hearing as well (especially if you are using headphones), please adjust the mixer’s controls BEFORE connecting AC power or turning on the unit.

Set up the mixer controls like this before you start:

Connecting High Level Output Audio Sources

Connect up to 8 such sources (tuner, cassette deck, CD Player, camcorder or VCR) to the input jacks for Line 1 (if not being used as Phono 1 input), Line 2, Line 3 (if not being used as Phono 2 input), Line 4, Line 5 and Line 6. Please note that Phono 1 and Line 1 (as well as Phono 2 and Line 3) use the same jacks. The selector switch(e)s below the jacks should be set to Line position if the jacks are used for the High Level input sources described here.
