QUICK START
We know you can’t wait to
get the show on the road.
Who has time to read a
booooring manual? That’s
fi ne — the CFX MKII
mixer is designed to set up
quickly and operate intuitively — but please,
READ THIS PAGE!
ZERO THE CONSOLE:
1.
Turn everything off, including the mixer’s
POWER
switch and
PHANTOM POWER
switch.

MAKE THE CONNECTIONS:
1.
Connect your amp’s outputs to your
speaker inputs (unless, of course, you have
powered loudspeakers).
2.
Plug all the sound system components into
suitable AC outlets, properly grounded and
capable of delivering adequate current.
3.
Using XLR or TRS cables, connect your
mixer’s
MAIN OUTS
to your powered
speakers or amp’s line inputs.
4.
Make connections from your microphones
and instruments to the mixer: Connect
balanced microphones to the mono channel
MIC
jacks. (For condenser microphones,
engage the
PHANTOM POWER
switch,
located just above the meters.) Connect
line-level instruments (synthesizers, guitar
effects, direct boxes) to the mono or stereo
channel
LINE IN
TRS jacks.
5.
Turn all the power switches on,
leaving the
amplifi er’s switch for last.
6.
Turn up the
MAIN MIX
Fader to the
“–30” label, for now. We’ll crank it up later on.
7.
Turn up
SUB
Faders
1
and
2
to unity gain
(“
U
” label).
SET THE LEVELS:
1.
Choose one of the microphones or instru-
ments you connected. Make some noise. If
it’s a microphone, sing at your normal sing-
ing volume. If it’s a synthesizer, play it at its
normal output level.
2.
While making noise, turn up that channel’s
GAIN
until the adjacent
ZERO LEVEL
starts
blinking.
3.
Disengage (up) that channel’s
MUTE
.
4.
Raise that channel’s fader to unity gain
(“
U
” label). You should be hearing your
noise now.
5.
If necessary, apply channel
EQ
changes.
(You may need to compensate for level
changes with the channel fader.)
6.
Repeat steps 1 through 5 for the remaining
active channels.
7.
Stop making noise. Everyone: start making
music.
