1 Operating Elements

and Connections

1.1 Front panel

In figure , a mono channel and a stereo chan-

nel are shown by way of example; the other input

channels are identical.

item 15.

2 Input LINE to connect a unit with line signal

level (e. g. musical instrument)

Mono channel:

1 × 6.3 mm jack, bal.

with low line output level; when the button is

pressed, the input level will be boosted

6 Equalizer for HIGH, MID and LOW

7 Control AUX SEND to add the channel signal

to the effect send way [the signal will be

picked up after the control LEVEL (10)]; the

send way is also used as an effect way for the

internal effect processor

8 Overload LED PEAK; if its lights perma-

nently, turn back the GAIN control (3) and / or

the equalizer controls (6) accordingly (mono

channel) or release the button +4/

10 (5)

Panorama control PAN to place the mono

signal in the stereo sound

Stereo channel:

Balance control BAL for the stereo signal

10 Control LEVEL to add the channel signal to

the signal sum

11 Output MASTER OUT for the sum signal

(6.3 mm jacks Left L/ Right R, unbal.), e. g. to

connect the amplifier for PA applications or a

second mixer

12 Output BOOTH OUT (6.3 mm jacks Left L /

Right R, unbal.) to connect the amplifier of a

monitor system in a separate control room

13 Output AUX SEND (6.3 mm jack, unbal.) of

the effect send way, to connect the input of an

effect unit

14 Output PHONES (6.3 mm jack) to connect

stereo headphones (minimum impedance

8Ω)

15 Button PHANTOM 48V; press the button to

apply a 48 V phantom power to all inputs

MIC (1)

Please observe the warning notes with regard

to the phantom power in chapter 4.1.1.

16 LED PWR ON

17 LED for the phantom power activated with the

button PHANTOM 48V (15)

18 Input TAPE IN (RCA jacks Left L / Right R) to

connect the output of a recorder or another

reproduction unit, e. g. CD player

Output TAPE OUT (RCA jacks Left L / Right R)

to connect the input of a recorder

20 LED level indicators, to indicate

– the sum signal adjusted with the control

MASTER (25) when none of the buttons

(22, 23) for the monitor function is pressed

– the monitor signal selected with the corre-

sponding button (



item 22 or 23)

21 Button TAPE / USB TO MIX; with the button

pressed, the input signal of the jacks TAPE

IN (18) and of the USB port (33) is added to

the sum signal

22 Button TAPE TO BOOTH / PHONES; with the

button pressed, the input signal of the jacks

TAPE IN (18) and of the USB port (33) is sent

to the monitoring outputs BOOTH OUT (12)

and PHONES (14) and indicated by means of

the LED level indicators (20)

Note: When the button AUX SEND TO BOOTH (23)

is pressed in addition, it will take priority, i. e. the

effect way will be monitored and indicated.

23 Button AUX SEND TO BOOTH; with the but-

ton pressed, the signal of the effect way is

sent to the monitoring outputs BOOTH OUT

(12) and PHONES (14) and indicated by

means of the LED level indicators (20)

24 Volume control BOOTH / PHONES for the

monitoring outputs BOOTH OUT (12) and

PHONES (14)

25 Total level control MASTER for the audio mix

(sum of all signals);

the sum signal is sent via the jacks MASTER

OUT (11), TAPE OUT (19) and the USB port

(33) and can be monitored via the outputs

BOOTH OUT (12) and PHONES (14)

Operating Elements for the effect processor

26 Effect selector knob FX SELECT:

Turn the knob until the effect number starts

flashing on the display (27), and then press

the knob briefly to confirm.

27 Display EFFECT; to indicate the number of

the effect selected

28 Button MUTE; to mute [LED PEAK / MUTE

(29) will light up] and unmute the effect

processor

29 LED PEAK / MUTE; lights up to indicate an

overload at the input of the effect processor

or to indicate muting of the effect processor

with the button MUTE (28)

30 Level control FX TO MASTER to add the

effect signal to the sum signal

1.2 Rear panel

31 Power supply jack to connect the power sup-

ply unit provided

32 On / off switch of the mixer

33 USB port (type B) to connect a computer; can

be used as an output (for digital output of the

sum signal) and as an input (to feed in audio

data)

2 Safety Notes

The units (mixer and power supply unit) corre-

spond to all relevant directives of the EU and are

therefore marked with .

Please observe the following items in any case:

The units are suitable for indoor use only. Pro-

tect them against dripping water and splash

water, high air humidity and heat (admissible

ambient temperature range: 0 – 40 °C).

Do not place any vessel filled with liquid on the

units, e. g. a drinking glass.

The heat generated inside the mixer must be

dissipated by air circulation; never cover the

air vents of the housing.

Do not operate the mixer and immediately dis-

connect the power supply unit from the socket

1. if the mixer or the power supply unit is visi-

bly damaged,

2. if a defect might have occurred after a unit

was dropped or suffered a similar accident,

3. if malfunctions occur.

In any case the units must be repaired by

skilled personnel.

For cleaning only use a dry, soft cloth; never

use water or chemicals.

No guarantee claims for the units and no lia-

bility for any resulting personal damage or

material damage will be accepted if the units

are used for other purposes than originally

intended, if they are not correctly connected or

operated, or if they are not repaired in an

expert way.

3 Applications

This audio mixer is designed for universal PA

and recording applications. It features 4 mono

input channels and 4 stereo input channels to

connect microphones (also phantom-powered)

and audio sources with line output level (e. g.

musical instruments, players). A send way allows

for the use of an effect unit. However, effects can

also be added via the integrated multi-effect

processor (100 preset effects). Audio mixing can

be monitored by means of headphones and / or a

monitor system in a separate control room.

In addition to connections for an analog

recorder, the mixer features a USB audio inter-

face to connect a computer. This interface can

be used both as an output for digital recording of

the audio mix and as an input to feed in audio

files.

If the units are to be put out of operation

definitively, take them to a local recy-

cling plant for a disposal which is not

harmful to the environment.

WARNING The power supply unit uses dan-

gerous mains voltage. Leave ser -

vicing to skilled personnel. Inex-

pert handling or modification may

result in electric shock.
