QUICK START PER UN RAPIDO UTILIZZO find some example of various connections. If you want to get sound through the mixer immediately, follow these steps: 1. Plug a microphone or other signal source into a channel using MIC or LINE input. 2. Connect the supply cord to the mains outlet then switch on the mixer. 3. Connect two signal cable from mixer MAIN MIX outputs to your amplifier inputs. 4. Hook up speakers to the amp and turn it on.
MONO CHANNEL STRIP STRIP CANALE MONO MONO CHANNEL STRIP (1-4 channels) STRIP CANALE MONO (canali 1-4) The M8 mono channels are designed to obtain the highest dynamic headroom and low noise possible in a wide range of adjustable gain of 80 dB. Each channel strip contains the following controls: I canali mono di M8 sono progettati per ottenere la miglior dinamica possibile con il minor rumore di fondo e con un ampio margine di guadagno regolabile di 80 dB.
MONO CHANNEL STRIP STRIP CANALE MONO 6. EQ section MID control 6. EQ MID (equalizzatore controllo medi) This control gives you up to 15 dB boost or cut at 2.5 KHz with a "PEAKING" curve shape. Use it to add or reduce the sound "presence". Questo controllo permette di guadagnare o attenuare fino a 15 dB a 2.5 KHz con una curva tipo "PEAKING". Da usarsi per aumentare o ridurre la "presenza" del suono. 7. EQ section LOW control 7.
MONO CHANNEL STRIP STRIP CANALE MONO 14. MUTE/ALT 3-4 switch 14. MUTE/ALT3-4 (canale spento e/o assegnato a 3/4) The dual-purpose MUTE/ALT 3-4 switch serves two functions: muting, and signal routing where it acts as an extra stereo bus. To use this as a MUTE switch, all you have to do is not use the ALT 3-4 outputs.
STEREO CHANNEL STRIP STRIP CANALE STEREO STEREO CHANNEL STRIP (5/6-7/8 channels) STRIP CANALI STEREO (canali 5/6-7/8) The M8 stereo channels are designed to obtain the highest dynamic headroom and low noise possible in a wide range of adjustable gain of 60 dB. Each channel strip contains the following controls: I canali stereo di M8 sono progettati per ottenere la miglior dinamica possibile con il minor rumore di fondo e con un ampio margine di guadagno regolabile tra 60 dB.
STEREO CHANNEL STRIP STRIP CANALE STEREO 24. AUX 2 control (send to FX) 24. AUX 2 (controllo livello ausiliario 2 e/o effetto) This control sends the signal to the AUX 2 output and to the internal DIGITAL EFFECT PROCESSOR. This signal is post-fader or in other words it depends by the position of the FADER LEVEL control. Questo controllo invia il segnale all'uscita ausiliaria AUX 2 e all'effetto interno (DIGITAL EFFECT PROCESSOR).

DIGITAL EFFECT PROCESSOR PROCESSORE DIGITALE DI EFFETTO 11. CHORUS - Typical modulation effect, provides a soft, ethereal sweeping effect. Perfect for enhancement of electric and acoustic guitar and bass. Also adds a dramatic effect to vocals, particularly group harmonies and choirs. The VARIATIONS increases the modulation frequency from 0.5Hz to 5Hz. 12. FLANGER - Typical modulation effect, creates a strong sweeping effect, particularly effective on rock electric guitar, lead and rhythm.

MUTE (ingresso jack per pedale) You can connect a footswitch to MUTE the mixer internal effect, suggested footswitches are PROEL model PFS20, PFS24, PFS29. Connettere un pedale footswitch per silenziare (MUTE) l'effetto interno del mixer, pedali suggeriti sono i modelli PROEL PFS20, PFS24, PFS29. 38. FX LEVEL control 38.
MASTER SECTION SEZIONE MASTER MASTER SECTION 40. 2TRK INPUT rca sockets SEZIONE MASTER 40. 2TRK INPUT (ingressi rca stereo) Use these unbalanced RCA connectors to patch the output of a player, such as an analog tape deck, a DAT, a MD or a CD player. IMPORTANT: this input and the USB input (on M8USB mixer only) are routed toghether, so we suggest to use only one at the same time.
MASTER SECTION SEZIONE MASTER or stage monitor amplifiers. l'ingresso di un effetto esterno o di monitor da palco amplificati. 50. AUX 2 OUT jack output 50. AUX 2 OUT (uscita jack ausiliaria 2) This jack connector sends out unbalanced line-level signals made of the sum of the input channels' AUX 2 sends, usually for connecting to the inputs of outboard effect devices.
MASTER SECTION SEZIONE MASTER colours to indicate different ranges of signal level: • green = show the normal operative level of the signal (from -30 to -6 dBpeak) • yellow = show the nominal operative level of the signal (from 0 to +6 dBpeak) • red = show a high signal level (near +20 dBpeak CLIP level). If no SOLO switch is engaged, the meters display what is selected by (43) (44) and (45) switches, choosing between MAIN MIX (post fader), ALT 3-4 (post fader) or 2TRK IN.
REAR PANEL PANNELLO POSTERIORE REAR PANEL 64. MAIN MIX L & R xlr output (balanced) PANELLO POSTERIORE 64. MAIN MIX L & R (XLR di uscita bilanciati) These XLR connectors (+4 dB) provide a balanced line-level signal that represent the fully mixed stereo signal overall controlled by the MAIN MIX LEVEL control. Connect these to the inputs of your power amplifier, powered speaker or processors (equalizers, multiband compressors and so on).
USB INTERFACE INTERFACCIA USB USB INTERFACE INTERFACCIA USB Your PROEL M8USB mixer comes with a Full Speed USB port which you can connect to a computer. This USB connection allows you to exchange CD-quality (stereo, 16-bit, 44.1 kHz) FIG. 1 audio between the computer and your mixer. This feature allows you to use the M8USB as a highly flexible external soundcard.
