Operation Manual

9. Operation
Do not operate the device until you have familiarized yourself with the functions and this operating manual. Check again
that all connections are correct. You should not listen to music at an excessive volume over a longer period of time. This
applies especially when listening to music with headphones. Excessive volume can cause hearing loss.
Switching the mixer on and off
Not observing the following sequence when switching the mixer on and off could damage the loudspeakers or the amplier.
Switching on:
1. Make sure that all channel faders (6) are set to the minimum volume (slide channel fader right to the bottom).
2. First switch on the playback devices that are connected to the mixer.
3. Switch on the mixer using the on/off “POWER” switch (1); the operating indicator will light up.
4. Switch on the connected amplier. The mixer is now ready to use.
Switching off:
1. To switch off the mixer, rst turn the volume on the amplier back to the minimum setting.
2. Switch off the amplier.
3. Then switch off the mixer using the on/off POWER switch (1) and then switch off the playback devices (turntable, CD player etc.).
4. If you do not require the mixer for a longer period, remove the plug-in power unit from the socket.
Select input
Minimise the volume using the corresponding channel fader before an input selection switch is changed over. Due to the
different volumes of the input sources, sudden, excessive volume could otherwise be the result
Select the required inputs using the input selection switches (2).
Example:
When the PHONO CD/LINE switch is in the position PHONO it means that the signal of the turntable on the PHONO jacks is applied at that
channel. The LINE input is not reproduced in this switch position. To reproduce the LINE input, the PHONO CD/LINE input selection switch has
to be switched to position CD/LINE.
Set input level
1. Using the input level controls (2), adjust the mixer input to the output signal of the connected playback device.
2. Set the TRIM input level control (2) to the left stop position “MIN”.
3. Start the connected playback device, e.g. CD player.
4. Slowly increase the input sensitivity of the mixer by turning the TRIM input level control (2) in a clockwise direction until the desired level
is reached.
5. Make sure that the signal does not sound distorted. If this occurs, reduce the input level.
6. The channels should all have about the same volume so that when cross-fading between the channels, no great differences in volume arise
and you thus have to regulate the output signal.
Set output level
1. Using the channel fader (6), adjust the mixer output to the input of the connected amplier.
2. Set the channel fader (6) to the bottom stop position “0”.
3. Start the connected playback device, e.g. CD player.
4. Slowly increase the output level of the mixer by sliding the channel fader (6) to the top. Observe here the master level meter (3); the red
light-emitting diodes should not light up or should do so only briey as otherwise the connected amplier can be overmodulated and the
signal distorted.
5. Turn the volume control of the connected amplier to a suitable volume.
Make sure that the connected loudspeakers and the amplier are not overloaded. The playback should not be distorted
in any way. If distorted music signals can be heard although the volume on the amplier has not been set too high and
the mixer has been set correctly, switch off the mixer immediately and check the connection. If you can nd no fault in
the connection, please contact a specialist.
