1Low Impedance (Low Z) MIC Input

The low noise, high headroom “Low Z” MIC input is for use with balanced, low impedance dynamic microphones.

NOTE: Condenser microphones will not work on this mixer.

2LINE IN

This ¼” Tip, Ring, Sleeve (TRS) jack is designed to be connected with (-10 to +4dBu) balanced or unbalanced line level sources.

3GAIN Control

In order to achieve the best signal to noise ratio and adequate dynamic range, the input preamp level of the Mic/Line channel is adjusted with a GAIN control on channel

1.Set the GAIN control by watching the LED bar-graph meters—above the MAIN MIX level control in the Master section of the mixer—while the signal source for that channel is active (whether it be a microphone or an instrument connected to the LINE IN of the channel). The ideal level is between 0dB and +6dB on the bar graph meters.

If the CLIP LED on the channel lights up consistently, the GAIN control is set too high. It is acceptable for the CLIP LED to flash periodically especially with loud instruments like drums or during peak sound levels during loud portions of a performance.

4CLIP LED

The CLIP LEDs (on channel 1) will light up when the input signal is driven too high. This indicates that the signal is overloading the preamp and causing distortion.
