3. QUICK START This is the fastest way to get something out from your GHIBLI 16(FX) if you have a keyboard and a microphone. Plug the microphone into Channel 1 MIC IN. Turn down GAIN, AUX and LEVEL controls. Put the EQ controls on center position. Keep MAIN MIX LEVEL control on mid position. Turn on your GHIBLI 16(FX). Sing or speak in to the microphone with normal volume and adjust the GAIN control so that the Master LED Meter stays around "0" and never exceed 10.

SP OT L IG 4. CONTROL ELEMENTS HT 4 STEREO LINE INPUTS (9 to 16) These are channels (9/10-11/12) and (13/14-15/16). They are organised in double stereo pair and provided with 1/4" TRS phone sockets. You can connect either mono or stereo line-level instruments or use them as stereo return for external multi-effects. 5 AUX OUT 1 & 2 These 1/4" phone sockets are used to send out the signal from the AUX bus of the input channels into external devices such as effect units and/or stage monitors.
SP OT L IG 4. CONTROL ELEMENTS HT 9 LOW-CUT filter Also regarded as high-pass filter. This filter will cut low frequencies below 100 Hz with a slope of 18 dB x octave. You should always activate this filter when using microphones. In this way, you reduce the possibility of feedback and resonance due to stage vibrations. Do not use the filter with bass drums and bass guitar, if you want to preserve the full body of these instruments.
SP OT L IG 4. CONTROL ELEMENTS HT EQUALIZATION You have three EQ control for each mono and stereo input channel each providing +/-15 dB of boost and cut. The signal will be unaffected when the controls on center position. You may use an external equalizer to make up a mix properly, but a master equalizer will not have effect on a single channel and you may overload the signal easily. Individual EQ will give you a much better control on single tracks.
SP OT L IG 3. 4. CONTROL ELEMENTS HT 17 MUTE If you move this switch to the right, you will mute all functions of the channel. 18 LEVEL It is channel's LEVEL control and it determines the amount of the input signal sent to the main mix (LEFT and RIGHT output) and to the SURROUND and CENTER outputs. STEREO INPUT CHANNEL STRIP 19 AUX 1 This control will send the input signal to the AUX1 OUT socket.
SP OT L IG 4. CONTROL ELEMENTS HT MASTER SECTION 22 INSERT These large rotary knob controls the level of the signal sent to MAIN OUTPUTS and CENTER/SURROUND outputs. All un-muted channel's signals will be sent to this control. 25 OPERATING BASS ENHANCER 26 0dB BYPASS 24 OUTPUT LEVEL METERs This consists of two column of 4 LEDs each ranging from 20 dB to +10 dB. The 0 (yellow) LED corresponds to a level output of 0 dBu. The 10 ( red ) LEDs come to life when the output reaches +10dBu.
SP OT L IG 4. CONTROL ELEMENTS HT DSP SECTION Your GHIBLI 16FX includes a quite unique and innovative digital multi-effects with 24-bit resolution and high dynamic range. Unlike other multi-effects where all the presets are available in a sequence and via a single control, GHIBLI 16FX multi-effect unit is organized with a 16 presets control and relative Level control for vibrato and modulation controls such as chorus and flanger.
5. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION OK, you have got to this point and you are now in the position to successfully operate your GHIBLI 16(FX): However, we advise you to read carefully the following section to get the best out of your GHIBLI 16(FX). Not paying enough attention to the input signal level, to the routing of the signal and the assignment of the signal will result in unwanted distortion, a corrupted signal or no sound at all. So you should follow these procedures before operation: 1.
