EUROPORT EPA800
2.2 Setup
1. Separate the three pieces of the PA unit as described in
Chapter 2.1.
2. Place the mixing console and loudspeakers in the required
positions in the venue.
Use of the optional loudspeaker stands ensures a
wider, more even dispersion of sound.
3. Using the supplied cables, connect the loudspeakers to the
rear loudspeaker outputs.
CAUTION
ONLY connect the EPA800’s loudspeakers, never
other equipment, via the rear loudspeaker
connectors. Otherwise, your equipment could get
damaged.
4. Connect instruments, microphones, and additional equipment
via the remaining connectors on the mixer (see Chapter 4).
5. If you have an active subwoofer available (not included),
connect it to the SUB OUT socket.
6. Ensure that the two volume control knobs in the MAIN LEVEL
CONTROL have been turned counterclockwise as far as
possible.
7. Use the IEC power cord to connect the mixer's power inlet to
an AC outlet.
8. Turn on the mixer.
9. Make the desired settings.
CAUTION
We would like to point out that high volume levels
could damage your hearing. Always make sure
that the appropriate volume is set.
3. CONTROL ELEMENTS AND
CONNECTIONS
The EPA800 mixer is equipped with 4 mono and 2 stereo inputs
and an additional AUX input. The input signals are internally
distributed to a stereo bus. It is also possible to use its channels
separately (mono), such as when used for FOH/PA and stage.
Depending on the requirements, one stereo or two independent
mono sounds can be run. An internal effect can be used as an
AUX effect from each channel. The 7-band graphic equalizer is
used to process the stereo bus or the two mono paths.
3.1 Mono Channels (1-4)
Channels 1-4 are designed as mono channels and are used to
connect microphones or mono line-level sources. The connectors
are balanced to ensure high interference resistance. If possible,
you should use balanced cable connectors to profit from the
advantages of this type of connection.
3.1.1 Microphone/Line Inputs
Fig. 3.1: Mono channel connectors
MIC
You can connect either dynamic microphones or condenser
microphones to the MIC connector using XLR plugs.
LINE IN
Via the LINE IN connector, you can connect instruments (e.g.,
keyboards, electric guitars) or other line-level sources (e.g., CD
player, external mixers, notebook sound card). The ¼" jack
accepts both balanced and unbalanced connectors.
PAD
With the PAD switch, you can weaken loud input signals by 20
dB. Use this function if the CLIP LED is lit up and the level cannot
be reduced any further using the LEVEL control.
PHANTOM
With the PHANTOM switch, you can activate the phantom power
supply for all microphone channels. Use the supply for condenser
microphones.
3.2 Stereo Channels (5/6-7/8)
Channels 5/6-7/8 are designed as stereo channels and are used
to connect stereo line-level sources.
3.2.1 Line Inputs
Fig. 3.2: Stereo channel connectors
LEFT (L) / RIGHT (R)
Via these connectors, you can connect stereo line-level sources
(e.g., keyboard, CD player, external mixers, notebook sound
card). Either the cinch jacks or the ¼" jacks can be used, but not
both at the same time.
VOICE CANCELLER (Channel 7/8)
The VOICE CANCELLER function enables voice to be filtered out
of stereo signals. This function is useful for karaoke applications
with a player (CD/MP3 player, etc.).
