INSTALLING THE MIXER
Correct connection and positioning of your mixer is important for successful and
trouble-free operation. The following sections are intended to give guidance with
cabling, connections and configuration of your mixer.
•
Choose the mains supply for the sound system with care, and do not share
sockets or earthing with lighting dimmers.
•
Position the mixer where the sound can be heard clearly.
•
Run audio cables separately from dimmer wiring, using balanced lines
wherever possible. If necessary, cross audio and lighting cables at right angles
to minimise the possibility of interference. Keep unbalanced cabling as short
as possible.
•
Check your cables regularly and label each end for easy identification.
