User Manual

If you connect external turntables or CD Players, use their volume knobs to set the cor-
rect channel level. If S8's input starts clipping, lowering GAIN will make the channel
quieter, but it won't resolve clipping at the input.
Increase level so that you get a steady movement of the blue segments and so that the loudest
passages of your track just barely push the level meter into the orange range. Don't worry, the
MAIN output has massive reserves to drive the P.A. even if you don't push the input as hard as
you can.
