• LO CUT 75Hz Switch: Activates a low-cut filter at 75 Hz for the respective input channel, useful for removing unwanted low-frequency rumble from microphones.
• Manopola LOW: Regola l'equalizzazione delle basse frequenze per il canale.
• Manopola FX: Controlla la quantità di segnale inviata dal canale al processore di effetti interno.
• MIX Knob (Channels): Adjusts the individual channel's volume level in the main mix.
• 24-BIT DIGITAL EFFECT Section: Contains controls for the built-in digital effects processor.
• Manopola PRESET: Selects one of the 16 available digital effect presets. The LED display shows the selected preset number.
• FX LEVEL Knob: Adjusts the overall output level of the effects processor.
• Pulsante FX: Engages or disengages the effects processor.
• LED DI PICCO: Illuminates when the effects processor input signal is too high, indicating potential clipping.
• Interruttore PHANTOM POWER: Attiva l'alimentazione phantom +48V per i microfoni a condensatore collegati agli ingressi XLR.
• LED ACCESO: Indicates that the mixer is powered on.
• LED CLIP: Illuminates when the main output signal is too high, indicating clipping.
• Level Meter LEDs (-20, -10, 0, +6): Provide visual indication of the main output signal level.
• MAIN MIX Outputs (L/R): XLR outputs for connecting the main stereo mix to an amplifier o dispositivo di registrazione.
• Uscita TELEFONI: TRS jack for connecting headphones for monitoring.
• MIX Knob (Master): Controls the overall volume level of the main stereo mix.

3. Impostazione

3.1 Collegamento di alimentazione

1. Assicurarsi che l'interruttore di alimentazione del mixer sia in posizione OFF.
2. Collegare l'adattatore di alimentazione in dotazione all'ingresso di alimentazione del mixer.
3. Collegare l'adattatore di alimentazione a una presa di corrente CA adatta.

3.2 Connessioni di ingresso audio

• Microfoni: Connect microphones to the MIC/LINE XLR inputs (Channels 1-2, 3/4, 5/6). If using condenser microphones, ensure the PHANTOM POWER switch is engaged.
• Strumenti a livello di linea: Connect instruments such as keyboards, guitars with preamps, or media players to the MIC/LINE TRS inputs. For stereo sources, use channels 3/4 or 5/6.

3.3 Connessioni di uscita audio

• Uscita principale: Connect the MAIN MIX XLR outputs (L/R) to your amplificatore, altoparlanti amplificati o interfaccia di registrazione.
• Cuffie: Connect your headphones to the PHONES TRS output for monitoring.

4. Istruzioni per l'uso

4.1 Accensione/Spegnimento

1. Before powering on, ensure all channel MIX knobs and the master MIX knob are set to their minimum position (-∞).
2. Flip the power switch to the ON position. The ON LED will illuminate.
3. To power off, first lower all volume levels, then flip the power switch to OFF.

4.2 Regolazione dei livelli di ingresso

1. For each active input channel, gradually increase its MIX knob.
2. Monitor the main output level meters. Adjust individual channel MIX knobs to achieve a healthy signal level without the CLIP LED illuminating.
3. If using microphones, consider engaging the LO CUT 75Hz switch to reduce low-frequency noise.

4.3 Utilizzo dell'equalizzatore (EQ)

Each channel features a LOW knob to adjust the low-frequency content of the input signal. Rotate clockwise to boost low frequencies or counter-clockwise to cut them.

4.4 Applicazione di effetti digitali

1. Press the FX button to engage the effects processor.
2. Use the PRESET knob to select one of the 16 available effects. The LED display will show the preset number. Refer to the mixer's panel for a list of effects (e.g., Hall, Room, Vocal, Plate, Delay, Chorus).
3. Adjust the FX knob on individual channels to send the desired amount of signal to the effects processor.
4. Use the master FX LEVEL knob to control the overall volume of the applied effect in the main mix.
5. If the PEAK LED illuminates, reduce the FX knob on individual channels or the master FX LEVEL.

4.5 Alimentazione Phantom

The PHANTOM POWER switch provides +48V DC to the XLR inputs, necessary for operating condenser microphones. Only engage this switch when condenser microphones are connected. Ensure all channel volumes are down before engaging or disengaging phantom power to prevent loud pops.

4.6 Monitoraggio

Connect headphones to the PHONES output to monitor the main mix. The headphone volume is typically controlled by the master MIX knob.
