If you’re a beginner…
…it’s a good idea to read through
this whole manual. We’ve tried
to use non-techy language, and
explain stuff most other manuals
don’t.
The biggest mistake beginners
make is to
not
take advantage
of all the time-saving, prob-
lem-solving, make-you-sound-
better features on their mixer.
Well, the second biggest mis-
take; the first is not doing proper
level setting.
We hope that this manual can
help you get the best perfor-
mance possible. Read on!
If you’re experienced…
…SoundLink has some features
and twists you don’t usually find
in mixers at this price point. For
the “
Been there, done that
” crowd,
we’ve marked these in the Table
of Contents
