THE 60-SECOND GUIDE

To get you working as fast as possible, this manual begins with a 60-second guide. Here you can find quick information on any feature of the console.

1 MIC INPUT (XLR)

Connect Microphones here. If you are using a condenser mic, ensure phantom

 

power is supplied by pressing the switch at the top of the master section.

2 LINE INPUT (¼” Jack)

WARNING: Do Not apply Phantom Power before connecting a microphone.

Connect Line level sources here, e.g. Synth, Drum Machine, DI etc.

3 INSERT POINT (¼” Jack)

Connect Signal processors here, e.g. Compressor, Gate etc.

4 GAIN CONTROL

Adjust this to increase or decrease the level of the incoming signal.

5 PEAK LED

This is used to indicate that the signal is close to distorting (clipping) on a specific

 

channel.

6 HPF

The high-pass filter reduces the level of bass frequencies only. Use this in live PA

 

situations to reduce stage rumble or ‘popping’ from mics.

7 EQ STAGE

Adjust these controls to change the signal tone (the character of the signal).

8 AUX 1 & 2 SENDS

Adjust these controls to change the level of the signal to an artist’s monitors (head-

 

phones/in-ear/stage monitors). Aux 1 & 2 are globally switchable pre/post fade.

9 FX SEND

This control sets the level of the post-fade signal being sent to the FX bus; from

 

there it is routed to the FX processor.

10 PAN CONTROL

Use this control to position the signal within the stereo field.

11 MUTE SWITCH

When this is pressed you will hear no signal from the channel (post-mute signals).
