OpERATIOnS
All STAGE HERO LEVEL knobs should be at minimum, at “0”. If a LEVEL is raised please move it to “0” position, preventing
in this way any noise which could damage your speaker connected. Set EQ knobs at center-detent position. With your
MASTER LEVEL at “0”, start making connections.
Using XLR balanced cables connect your microphones and using unbalanced ¼“ TS cables connect line LEVEL sources.
Connect the outputs of the CD player or the tape recorder to CD/TAPE RCA connectors, then connect RCA REC OUT
connectors to your recorder analogue inputs. Connect your SD card and your USB player to digital ports. Connect LINE
IN to an external sound source with output level control. Connect LINE OUT to external device, like a secondary sound
systems, sound engineer monitoring system, etc.
Now you can turn on your STAGE HERO console and raise MASTER knob to 12 o’clock position. Immediately after you
can connect your passive speakers to rear panel SPEAKER outputs, while SUB OUT should be connected to your powered
subwoofer, if any. Now you can begin to set all the levels. Good starting LEVEL settings are with each channel knob at 12
o’clock position. If a channel signal is too hot, please turn the knob counter-clockwise; if the signal is too weak turn the
knob clockwise. CD/TAPE connections have TAPE IN LEVEL control, and DIGITAL EFFECT has its own LEVEL control.
The Digital Player has digital level control via V+ and V- keys; the playback level can be adjusted in 0-15 range. Of course,
you can adjust these sources output level also via their own hardware/software controls.
TIpS
We strongly suggest you to avoid exposition to loud music for prolonged periods, you risk to seriously damage your hearing.
In order to avoid overload, please carefully check the overall sound; hearing even a small saturation, please turn counter-
clockwise the MASTER knob, or the LEVEL knob of the source which is distorting.
Avoid to use extreme EQ settings, which could overload that channel as well its FX send to DIGITAL DELAY and even the
MASTER section. We suggest you to use the EQ to emphasize sound nuances and details, even cutting EQ on other channels!
In order to avoid internal DIGITAL DELAY overload, please carefully check the each channel FX knob.
In order to prevent speakers switch-on thump, please turn the MASTER knob to “0” after every session, and check the
MASTER knob “0” position before any new session.
