3. QUICK START This is the fastest way to get something out from your L-6, if you have a keyboard and a microphone. a. With the Main switch in OFF position, connect the supplied AC Adapter to your L-6 first and then into the AC outlet, making sure that the available voltage is the same with your L-6. b. Before turning on the L-6, you shall connect it to a power amplifier and speakers. Turning off the mixer BEFORE the power amplifier. c. Plug the microphone into Channel 1 MIC IN. d.

SP OT L IG 4. CONTROL ELEMENTS HT 4 AUX SEND This 1/4" phone socket is 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. The AUX SEND is wired post-fader to control the signal of the internal multi-effects unit. You can also connect an external effect unit. In such case, the internal effect unit will be automatically disconnected. If you want to wire the AUX circuit as pre-fader, read Chapter 6. of this Manual.
SP OT L IG 4. CONTROL ELEMENTS HT 13 PAN/BAL This is the PANORAMA control, or balance control. You can adjust the stereo image of the signal via this control. Keep this control in center position and your signal will be positioned in the middle of stage. Turn this control fully counter clockwise and the signal will be present only on the left speaker and vice-versa. Of course a large number of intermediate positions is available. 0 -15 -12 0 0 EQ MID 2.
SP OT L IG 4. CONTROL ELEMENTS HT 17 LOW If you turn this control up, you will boost all frequencies below 80 Hz. You will give more punch to bass drums and bass guitar; and you will make the male vocalist more "macho". Turn it down and you will cut all the frequencies below 80 Hz. In this way you can avoid low-frequency vibrations and resonance thus preserving the life of your woofers. MASTER SECTION 18 MAIN MIX LEVEL This knob controls the level of the signal sent to MAIN OUTPUTS and TAPE OUT.
SP OT L IG 4. CONTROL ELEMENTS HT 21 AUX RETURNS (DFX) This knob controls the level of effects received from the STEREO AUX RETURN sockets. Such signals will be routed directly into the MAIN MIX. If you have no need to connect an external multi-effect, you can use the AUX RETURN inputs as additional instrument inputs and use this control as Volume control.
SP OT L IG 4. CONTROL ELEMENTS HT 28 FX LEVEL This control is used to adjust the output level of FX signal, which can be varied from 0 dB to 10 dB. 29 REVERB LEVEL This control is used to adjust the output level of the REVERB signal, which can be varied from 0 dB to 10 dB. The digital reverb is independent from the other 16 Factory Presets so you can add reverb in any amount over chorus, flanger, etc or just use reverb turning down the FX LEVEL control.
5. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION Ok, you have got to this point and you are now in the position to successfully operate your L-6. However, we advise you to read carefully the following section to be the real master of your own mix. Not paying attention enough 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 this procedure for every single channel: 1.
