Power On
1. Verify that the voltage setting and fuse value on the
EVOi.sys (rear) is set for your ac power service (e.g., 115 V).
2. Connect
AC MAINS
on all EVOi.324s (see page 6
EVOi.sys Users Guide) to active ac outlets. Each power
indicator will turn on.
3. On the EVOi.sys (rear), press
POWER
to the
ON
position.
The
POWER
indicator (on the EVOi.net) will turn on.
Testing The System
Perform the instructions listed in the EVOi.net section,
Installation/Setup – Starting Up starting on page 7 EVOi.net
Users Guide.
Setting Up The Initial Mix
l. Connect other sources (e.g, phantom-powered micro-
phone, keyboard, etc.) to available inputs and release the
MUTE
switches on all channels being used. If required,
press
MIC 48V
to
On
to supply phantom power. The
POWER LED
will turn on.
2. Set the
L MIX R
and
L SUB R
faders to
0
. On all input
channels with signal, press
MIX
to route the signal to the
mix buss.
3. On the
Master
section, select
MIX
as the monitor source
and select
PFL
as the listening mode.
4. Press
SOLO
on
Channel 1
while a performer provides a
typical performance-level signal. Observe the level on the
bargraph meters and adjust
SENS
until the meter display
is in the amber section, with occasional peaks to the first
red LED for a typical maximum source level. This setting
will allow sufficient headroom to accommodate peaks and
establishes the maximum level for normal operation.
NOTE: The
SENS
setting is only the starting point for your mix.
Remember that many factors affect the sound during a live perfor-
mance, including EQ settings or even audience size.
5. Release
SOLO
on
Channel 1
. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for all
other channels as required.
You are now ready to start building the mix and this should
be done progressively, listening carefully for each component
in the mix and watching the meters for any hint of overload.
If this occurs, back off the appropriate
Channel
fader slightly
until the level being monitored is out of the red segments, or
adjust the faders. This procedure will ensure that the mixer is
set up correctly, with adequate headroom.
Operating The Equipment
To learn more about EVOi.sys, we encourage you to study the
remaining pages in this section to learn how to operate the
controls on the mixer and microphone equipment. If you
encounter any problems, please refer to Troubleshooting at the
end of this manual.
Power Off
Important
Before turning off, make sure
