Part No. 820-052-00 Rev. B 6/97

We realize that you must have a powerful

hankerin’ to try out your new SR40•8. Or you
might be one of those people who never read
manuals. Either way, all we ask is that you
read this page

now

, and the rest can wait until

you’re good and ready. But do read it — you’ll
be glad you did.

LEVEL-SETTING PROCEDURE

There isn’t too much to setting levels. No

rocket science here (well… maybe a bit).
Here’s what you need to do:

Hyper-Quick-Turbo Method

Set the

TRIM

controls

at minimum (fully counter-
clockwise).

Set the

METERING: INPUT SECTION

switch to

PFL

mode

so your Fader

settings won’t affect your input meter
readings.

Set the

METERING: OUTPUT SECTION

switch to

AFL

mode

so that the Meters

reflect the actual output levels.

Set all of the Faders to their “

” markings.

Ask the musicians to start playing.

Set a rough mix, using the

TRIM

controls.

The goal is to get Meter readings at or
around 0dB for all of the inputs.

Once you’ve adjusted the input levels, use
the Channel Faders to set the Channel
levels, and leave the

TRIM

controls alone.

If the overall level gets too loud, bring the
overall

LEFT

and

RIGHT

level down a bit,

10dB at the most. You may need to reduce
the

TRIM

settings further.

Alternate Method

This method results in the faders being in a

straight line across the board.

Set the

METERING: INPUT SECTION

switch to

PFL

mode

so your Fader

settings won’t affect your input meter
readings.

Set the

METERING: OUTPUT SECTION

switch to

AFL

mode

so that the Meters

reflect the actual output levels.

While the musicians are playing, watch
each Channel Meter and adjust the

TRIM

control so that level is near 0dB as read

on the Channel’s Meter.

After setting the Channel

, you will

probably want to readjust the

TRIM

control

slightly to bring the Meter back to near the
0dB reading.

As the mix comes together, readjust the

TRIM

control down so that the Channel Fader can
be set at its “

” (unity gain) setting.

You can also

SOLO

the Channel and

monitor its level via the

LEFT

RIGHT

, and

CENTER

Meters in the output section.

Other Nuggets of Wisdom

Before plugging or unplugging a cord from a

Channel or a

MAIN AUX RETURN (A1–A4)

, be

sure to engage the

MUTE

switch first.

If you shut down your equipment, turn off

your amplifiers first. When powering up, turn
on your amplifiers last.

Save the shipping boxes! We’re sure that

you can find an empty airport hanger or boat
moorage to store them. You may need them
someday, and you don’t want to have to pay for
them again.

Please write your serial numbers here for
future reference (i.e., insurance claims,
tech support, return authorization, etc.):
