1.3.1 Shipment
Your mixing console was carefully packed in the factory to
guarantee safe transport. Nevertheless, we recommend that
you carefully examine the packaging and its contents for any
signs of physical damage, which may have occurred during
transit.
The upper (HIGH) and the lower band (LOW) are shelving
filters that increase or decrease all frequencies above or below
their cut-off frequency. The cut-off frequencies of the upper
and lower band are 12 kHz and 80 Hz respectively. The mid
band is configured as a peak filter with a center frequency of
2.5 kHz. Unlike shelving filters, the peak filter processes a
frequency range that extends upwards and downwards around
its middle frequency.
MON SEND
Connect the input of your monitor power amp or an active
monitor system here to make the monitor mix audible to the
musicians on the stage. The signal mix is created using the
channels MON controls.
FX SEND
The FX SEND connector outputs the signal you picked up Fig. 2.9: CD/tape return channel
from the individual channels using the FX controls. You can

STANDBY
If the STANDBY switch is pressed, all input channels with a
mic connector (XLR connector) are muted. During breaks or
stage conversion, you can prevent noise from entering the sound
system via the microphones. Such noise can in the worst-case
scenario even irreparably damage loudspeaker membranes. The

so that you can play music from a CD at the same time. Similarly,

MAIN OUT
The MAIN outputs carry the MAIN MIX signal and are on
balanced XLR connectors with a nominal level of +4 dBu.
Depending on how you wish to use your mixer and which gear
you own, you can connect the following equipment:
CAUTION!
+ We would like to draw your attention to the fact that
extreme volumes may damage your hearing and/
or your headphones or loudspeakers. Turn the
MAIN MIX faders and the PHONES control in the main
section fully down before you switch on the unit.
Always be careful to set the appropriate volume.
PHONS/CTRL connector
You can connect headphones to this 1/4" TRS connector. The
connector can also be used for feeding active monitor
loudspeakers (or an amplifier) in your control room. For this
purpose, the signal is taken directly before it is passed on to the
main mix faders.
MAIN MIX
Use the high-precision quality faders to control the output level
of the main mix.
LEVEL METER/CLIP
The high-precision level meter accurately displays the
appropriate signal level.
LEVEL SETTING:
When recording to a digital device, the recorders peak meter
should not exceed 0 dB. This is because, unlike analog recordings,

+ Attention: The POWER switch does not fully

power cord completely when the unit is not used
for prolonged periods of time.
PHANTOM
The PHANTOM switch activates the phantom power supply
for the XLR microphone inputs, which is required to operate
