CAUTION! TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. IMPORTANT The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-insulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
HANDLING AND CARE Location Install the mixer in a well-ventilated location where it will not be exposed to high temperatures or humidity. Do not install the mixer in a location that is exposed to direct rays of the sun, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive heat can adversely affect the cabinet and internal components. Installation of the unit in a damp or dusty environment may also result in a malfunction or accident. (Avoid installation near cookers etc.
CONTROLS 1. Microphone Controls "Mic" (Microphone Trim) This knob adjusts the volume of the main microphone. When turned all the way to the left, the volume is at -8dB. When turned to the right, the volume is at 0dB. The Microphone Trim should be set at -8dB when connecting and disconnecting a microphone from the Quarter-Inch "Microphone" Input on the front panel of the mixer "Treble" (Microphone High EQ) This knob adjusts the high-tone input sound of the microphone (1kHz).
SECTION 1 MICROPHONE CONTROLS PAGE 6
CONTROLS 2. Primary Mixing Input Controls for CH-1 to CH-3 "Gain" (Input Level Trim) This rotary control adjusts the input signal levels of the inputs. Turning the knob completely to the right (clockwise) increases the level to +8dB. Turning the knob completely to the left (counter clockwise) decreases the level to -8dB. "Process" (Input FX Processing) See Section 8 "Effects Processing Controls." "Treble" (Input Level High EQ) This rotary control adjusts the high-tone sound of the inputs.
SECTION 2 PRIMARY MIXING INPUT CONTROLS PAGE 8
CONTROLS 3. Meters and Lighting "Master Level" (Master Level Meter) This meter displays the stereo output levels of the master signal. The display ranges from -40dB to +10dB. Dual BNC Style Light Connectors Two BNC style lights can be connected simultaneously to these 12V receptacles. 4. Cueing Controls "Volume" (Headphone Level) This rotary control adjusts the levels of the headphones connected to the front panel input.
SECTION 3 SECTION 4 METERS+ LIGHTING, CUEING CONTROLS PAGE 10
CONTROLS 5. Master Output Controls "Master" (Main Output Level Control) This rotary control adjusts the main output levels for any equipment connected to the Master Output on the rear panel (Section 9 "Inputs and Outputs"). Turning the knob completely to the right increases the level to +10dB and turning the knob completely to the left mutes the signal.
SECTION 5 SECTION 6 MASTER OUTPUT, CROSSFADER CONTROLS PAGE 12
CONTROLS 7. Special Crossfader Related Features "Kill" (Flash/Eliminate EQ Toggles) These toggles eliminate the signal level for their respective frequency (low range, midrange and high.) In the upward position, the switch will lock in position. In the downward position, the switch eliminates the frequency until it is released. The left set of kill switches is used to control the sound of the input assigned to the left side of the Crossfader.

CONTROLS 9. Inputs and Outputs CH-1, CH-2 and CH-3 Phono/Line Stereo Inputs Each channel has a selectable phono level input (phonograph level/line level) and a line level input. The line level input is used to connect CD players and other line level devices. When connecting a turntable to the phono input, the switch must be set to "PHONO" instead of "AUX." When this switch is set to "AUX" you can connect a line level device to the mixer (CD player, etc.
"Balance Output" (Balanced Quarter Inch Stereo Output) These Quarter Inch outputs are for sending a balanced level signal to a PA system or recording device. The level of the balanced output signal will also increase with the "master" volume control. These outputs are durable and offer a better output signal than the "master" or "booth" outputs.
CONTROLS CAUTION! 10. Customizing and Servicing Your Mixer BEFORE REPLACING ANY PARTS, IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO UNPLUG THE MIXER FROM ITS POWER SOURCE. Replacing the Crossfader This mixer features a replaceable Crossfader. The Crossfader can be removed from the mixer by loosening the two screws at the endpoints of the fader (See illustrations at right.) Follow the steps below for removing the top panel to have access to the Crossfader.
Replacing the Crossfader 1. After removing the top panel, remove the two screws that secure the crossfader using a #2 Philips Screwdriver. 2. Carefully slide the crossfader out of the mixer chassis, and unplug the harness from the bottom of the part. Replace the crossfader, refasten the two screws that hold the crossfader in place. 3. Resecure the top panel, test the function, and refasten the four screws that secure the top panel. Customizing the Direction of the Input Selector Switches 1.
