About this guide
This is the Quick Reference Guide for the PRO6 Control Centre. Its purpose is to quickly
familiarise the user with the control centre, show how to set up the system and then
show how to carry out some basic operations on the control centre in order to produce
some audio. This guide is structured such that it may also provide a useful introductory
guide for training purposes.
This document is aimed at professionals, such as front of house (FOH) and monitor
(MON) engineers, who will be using this equipment in a live performance environment.
It is assumed that the reader has prior experience of using professional audio
equipment and has, most likely, undergone training on this system.
This guide has been designed specifically so that mix engineers and system technicians
can go straight to the areas applicable to them, that is, “Operation” on page 15 and
“Connecting And Setting Up The System” on page 69, respectively. The rest of the
guide is intended for general readership.
