POWER 
Use the POWER switch to power up the mixing console.
PHANTOM
The PHANTOM switch activates the phantom power supply 
for the XLR connectors of the mono channels which is 
required to operate condenser microphones. The red  
+48 V LED lights up when phantom power is on. As a rule,  
dynamic microphones can still be used with phantom  
power switched on, provided that they are wired in a 
balanced configuration. In case of doubt, contact the 
microphone manufacturer!
After the phantom power supply has been switched 
◊ 
on, do not connect microphones to the mixer  
(or the stagebox/wallbox). Connect the microphones 
before you switch phantom power on. In addition,  
the monitor/PA loudspeakers should be muted before 
activating the phantom power supply. After switching 
on, wait approx. one minute to allow the system  
to stabilize.
Caution! You must never use unbalanced  
◊ 
XLR connectors (PIN 1 and 3 connected) on the  
MIC input connectors if you want to use the  
phantom power supply.
SERIAL NUMBER
Please note the important information on the serial number 
given in chapter 1.3.3.
Digital Effects Processor
3.  
24-BIT MULTI-EFFECTS PROCESSOR
Here you can find a list of all presets stored in the multi-
effects processor. This built-in effects module produces 
high-grade standard effects such as reverb, chorus, flanger, 
delay and various combination effects. The integrated  
effects module has the advantage of requiring no wiring.  
This way, the danger of creating ground loops or uneven 
signal levels is eliminated at the outset, completely 
simplifying the handling.
These effect presets are designed to be added to dry signals. 
If you move the FX TO MAIN control, you mix the channel 
signal (dry) and the effect signal.
This also goes for mixing effects signals with the monitor 
mix. The main difference is that the mix ratio is adjusted 
using the FX TO MON control. Of course, a signal has to 
be fed into the effects processor via the FX control in the 
channel strip for both applications.
On the following page, you will find an illustration 
◊ 
showing how to connect your foot switch correctly.
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 control (AUX SEND 2) 
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 with 
the foot switch.
Installation
4.  
Rack mounting
4.1  
The packaging of your mixing console contains two 19" rack 
mount wings which can be installed on the side panels of 
the console.
Before you can attach the rack mount wings to the mixing 
console, you need to remove the screws holding the left and 
right side panels. Use these screws to fasten the two wings 
onto the console, being careful to note that each wing fits a 
specific side. With the rack mount wings 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.
Only use the screws holding the mixing console side 
◊ 
panels to fasten the 19" rack mounts.
Cable connections
4.2  
You will need a large number of cables for the various 
connections to and from the console. The illustrations below 
show the wiring of these cables. Be sure to use only high-
grade cables.

Audio connections
4.2.1  
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).
Caution! You must never use unbalanced XLR 
◊ 
connectors (pin 1 and 3 connected) on the MIC inputs 
if you intend to use the phantom power supply.
