5. Power the mixer using the supplied
18V, 300-mA AC adapter.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2
power source that sup-
plies 18V AC and deliv-
ers at least 300 mA. Its center tip
must be set to negative and its
plug must fit the mixer's
AC 18V
jack. The supplied adapter meets
these specifications. Using an
adapter that does not meet these
specifications could damage the
mixer or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to
the mixer before you connect it to
AC power. When you finish, dis-
connect the adapter from AC
power before you disconnect it
from the mixer.
Connect the small end of the sup-
plied AC adapter to
AC 18V
on the
back of the mixer and connect the
other end to a standard AC outlet.

USING HEADPHONES
To listen in privacy or monitor the audio
source inputs so you can locate an ex-
act passage or section before mixing it,
plug a pair of stereo headphones (not
supplied) with a
1
/
4
-inch plug into
PHONES
on the mixer's lower right front
corner. Your local RadioShack store
carries a wide selection of headphones.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use headphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to
a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high vol-
ume levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent
hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a vol-
ume level that does not cause dis-
comfort might still damage your
hearing.
Caution: As you begin to mix, be careful
not to get into the habit of always in-
creasing volume levels to achieve the
proper balance. You can bring high lev-
els down just as easily as you can bring
low levels up. Listening at excessive vol-
ume levels will soon give you “tired ears”
and you will not be as pleased with your
finished product later.
