arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.
POWERSUPPLY
On the label on the backside of the product is indicated on this type of power supply must be connected. Check that the mains
voltage corresponds to this, all other voltages than specified, the product be irreparably damaged. The product must also be
directly connected to the mains and may be used. No dimmer or adjustable power supply.

CONTROL ELEMENTS
1. Microphone Input
Balanced XLR input jacks.
2. Line Input
Balanced 6.3mm (¼”) jack line inputs. You can connect either
balanced or unbalanced phone plugs to these jacks.
3. TRIM Control
Adjusts the input signal level. To get the best balance between the S/N
ratio and the dynamic range, adjust the gain so that the clip indicator
(6) lights only occasionally and briefly on the highest input transients.
The +10dB to +60dB scale is the MIC input adjustment range. The
+10dB to -40db scale is the line input adjustment range.
4. Equalizer
Three-band equalizer adjusts the channel's high, mid and low
frequency bands. Setting the knob to the "O" position produces a fiat
response in the corresponding band. Turning the knob to the right
boosts the corresponding frequency band, while turning to the left
attenuates the band.
5. FX Control
Adjusts the effect signal level.
6. Clip LED
The clip-led lights up when the input signal is driven too high. If this
happens, back off the TRIM control and, if necessary, check the
setting of the channel EQ.
7. Pan Control
The PAN control determines the position of the channel signal within
the stereo image. When working with subgroups, you can use the PAN
control to assign the signal to just one output, which gives you
additional flexibility in recording situations.
8. Channel Fader
Adjusts the level if the channel signal. Use these faders to adjust the
balance between the various channels.
