How To Use This Manual 

The first pages after the table of contents are the 

hookup diagrams. These show typical setups for fun 
times with your mixer. 

Next is a  detailed tour of the entire mixer. The de-

scriptions are divided into sections, just as your mixer is 
 organized into distinct zones:

•  Back panel
•  Connection section
•  Channel controls
•  Master controls 

Throughout these sections you’ll find illustrations 

with each feature numbered and described in nearby 
paragraphs.

This icon marks infor mation that is critically 
 important or unique to the mixer. For your own 
good, read them and remember them.

This icon will lead you to some explanations of 
 features and practical tips. Go ahead and skip 
these if you need to leave the room in a hurry.

Appendix A: Service information.

Appendix B: Connectors.

Appendix C: Technical information.

Appendix D: Rack ear installation.

Appendix E: FireWire.

Appendix F: Modifications.
