INTRODUCTION
This manual is designed to help you get the most out of your

console.
The PD1023 is a POWERED mixing desk. This means that the amplifiers are built in,

L2 audio TS115
’s with a power amplifier (
L2 audio PA range
) or powered
subs, such as the
L2 audio TSP115’s

in graphic equalizer.
