3. Flip the power switch to the 'ON' position. The power LED on the front panel should illuminate.

4.2 Connessione di rete

The XR12 offers three modes for network connectivity:

• Modalità punto di accesso (AP): The XR12 acts as its own Wi-Fi hotspot. Use this for direct wireless control from a tablet or computer without an external router.
• Wi-Fi Client Mode: The XR12 connects to an existing Wi-Fi network (e.g., your home or venue Wi-Fi). This allows control from any device on that network.
• Ethernet (LAN) Mode: Connect the XR12 to a router or computer via an Ethernet cable for a stable wired connection.

Select the desired mode using the switch on the rear panel and follow the instructions in the X AIR app for network configuration.

4.3 Collegamento di ingressi e uscite

• Connect microphones to the XLR/TRS combo jacks (Inputs 1-4) for channels with MIDAS preamps.
• Connect line-level instruments or devices to the TRS jacks (Inputs 5-12). Inputs 11-12 are Hi-Z compatible for direct instrument connection.
• Connect your main PA system to the MAIN L/R XLR outputs.
• Use the AUX 1/2 TRS outputs for monitor mixes or sending signals to external effects processors.
• Connect a USB drive to the USB port for stereo recording and playback.
