ment (where applicable) is turned off.
Also make sure that the level controls of
each channel of the EMX66M and the
MASTER control of the MAIN section are
turned down.

Connect cables to your mics and instru-
ments, and insert the other end of the
cable firmly into the appropriate Low-Z/
Hi-Z jack (channels 1–4) or the MIC jack
(channels 5–6), LINE jack (channels 5),
Super Hi-Z jack (channels 6).

ing the instrument), adjust the channel
LEVEL control so that the 0 LED of the

MONITOR OUTPUT, you can create a monitor
mix independent of the MAIN mix, since the
input channel MONITOR controls are not
affected by the LEVEL controls.

ever, can be used at the same time.

sequence.
Note: If the effect sound is distorted even if the
EFFECT RTN turned all the way down, lower
the EFFECT controls of each channel.
