FOOTSWITCH
Connect a standard footswitch to the footswitch connector; use this to switch the 

effects processor on and off. A flashing dot at the bottom of the display indicates 

if the effects processor is muted via the footswitch.

LEVEL
The LED level meter on the effects module should display a sufficiently high 

level. Take care to ensure that the clip LED only lights up at peak levels. If it is 

lit constantly, you are overloading the effects processor and this could cause 

unpleasant distortion. The FX SEND fader determines the level that reaches the 

effects module.

PROGRAM
You can select the effect preset by turning the PROGRAM control. The display 

flashes the number of the current preset. To recall the selected preset, press the 

button; the flashing stops. You can also recall the selected preset using 

the footswitch.

The surround function can be enabled/disabled with the XPQ TO MAIN switch. 

This is a built-in effect that widens the stereo width, thus making the sound more 

lively and transparent. Use the SURROUND control to determine the intensity of 

this effect.

The packaging of your mixing console contains two 19" rack mount brackets 

which can be installed on the side panels of the console.
Before you can attach the rack mount brackets to the mixing console, you need 

to remove the screws holding the left and right side panels. Use these screws to 

fasten the two brackets onto the console, being careful to note that each bracket 

fits a specific side. With the rack mount brackets installed, you can mount the 

mixing console in a commercially available 19" rack. Be sure to allow for proper 

air flow around the unit, and do not place the mixing console close to radiators or 

power amps, so as to avoid overheating.

You will need a large number of cables for the various connections to and from 

the console. The following illustrations show the wiring of these cables. Be sure 

to use only high-grade cables.

The footswitch connects both poles momentarily

4.2.1  Audio connections
Please use commercial RCA cables to wire the 2-track inputs and outputs.
You can, of course, also connect unbalanced devices to the balanced input/

outputs. Use either mono plugs, or ensure that ring and sleeve are bridged inside 

the stereo plug (or pins 1 & 3 in the case of XLR connectors).

For unbalanced use, pin 1 and pin 3 

have to be bridged

1 = ground/shield

2 = hot (+ve)

3 = cold (-ve)
