The Digital Mixer is managed via the back connections,
where it is possible to connect the Microphones and au-
dio peripherals such as keyboards or other instruments.
The right part of the front panel is dedicated to the
potentiometers and sliders controlling the Mixer parts
available to the user.
The MIC AUDIO button goes to the page for all Digi-
tal Mixer settings, for the details refer to Ch. “Front

EQ: the potentiometers regulate the equaliser in the
three main Bands “High” – “Mid” – “Low”. You need to

sation.

effects acting on the Microphones: delay and rev. For the

the various types of effect and perform many settings
that may also be saved in the individua Backing Track.
