Adjusting levels

After turning on the power, adjust the level of each input signal. The following explanation assumes that the STEREO OUTPUTS are being used as the main outputs.

1Prepare headphones or an amplification system to output the sound in advance.

If monitoring with headphones, raise the volume with the PHONES LEVEL knob slightly.

If monitoring with an amplification system, raise the input level on the amp slightly.

2Turn the MONITOR section ST switch ON (push switch in).

With this set, the level of the signals output from the

STEREO OUTPUTS jacks is shown on the MONITOR meters.

3 Raise the ST (stereo) fader to the 0 position.

4For the channel 1–6 inputs, adjust the TRIM knob for the channel so that the “0” indicator on the chan- nel level meter lights when a signal is being input that is at the loudest level ordinarily expected.

For the channel 7–16 inputs, adjust the level at the sound source so that the “0” indicator on the chan- nel level meter lights when a signal is being input that is at the loudest level ordinarily expected.
