Quick Guide

Connect your inputs and outputs

Connect your inputs and outputs

Connect the instruments and mics.
Connect output devices such as powered speakers.
Input and output settings are ready to go when the 
console is shipped, so you can start mixing as soon as 
you make your connections (page 12).

When your connections are finished, turn on the power.

NOTICE

• 

Rapidly turning the unit on and off in succession 
can cause it to malfunction. After turning the unit 
off, wait for at least 6 seconds before turning it 
on again.

• 

This product regularly saves the state of its 
workspace so that it can return to the previous 
state when the product is turned on. To ensure 
that the state is saved properly, wait at least 
10 seconds after performing the last operation 
before turning the product off.

Set up each channel

>  Step 1
Select a channel by pressing its [SEL] key 

in the Channel Strip section.

The channel's [SEL] key lights, indicating that you 
can control the channel using the Display section.

>  Step 2
Press the Library key (

) to access the 

Library and recall a Preset.

Adjust the overall balance of the mix

After adjusting each channel, adjust the overall balance 
of the mix while doing a sound check. While listening to 
the main speakers, pay attention to the overall sound 
quality, the balance of each instrument, the volume of 
each performer's monitor, and the amount of effects 
applied to each instrument.

• Adjusting SENDS ON FADER for the level sent to 

AUX for each channel (page 16)

• Muting all input channels or effects (page 15)
• Turning effects on and off, adjusting the overall level 

of effects (page 15)

Save your settings

You can save your entire mix setup as a Scene. 
(SCENE window 

g

 page 18)

If several bands are performing on the same stage, or 
if a single performer’s mix or audio sources vary greatly 
from song to song, you can save a complete mix setup 
for each band or each song as a Scene, and easily 
switch between Scenes.
You can also save individual channel setups by 
overwriting existing Presets or by saving them as new 
Presets in the Library screen.
After fine-tuning the sound of each channel to suit each 
instrument or mic, you can save them as Presets and 
recreate that configuration anytime, easily.

Using USER DEFINED KEYS

When the console is in the default state, USER DEFINED KEYS 
(page 15) are configured as "Direct Scene Recall" keys. You 
can save a Scene by pressing and holding down one of the 
USER DEFINED KEYS, and recall a Scene by pressing one of 
the USER DEFINED KEYS.

>  Step 3
Adjust the channel’s parameters.

Adjust the input gain, EQ, compressor, and gate 
from the OVERVIEW screen and the individual 
configuration screens (page 18).
Adjust the input gain on the INPUT screen so that 
the loudest sound that is input causes the center 
graph to light.

>  Repeat steps 1 to 3 and set up each 

channel.

NOTE

You can set up channels without using Presets. For details about the available features and parameters, refer to the Reference 
Manual.
