9. Operation
Using the headphones / pre-listening:
Before plugging in or putting on the headphones, switch the mixer on or off and always turn the headphone volume to the minimum
(turn PFL LEVEL control (5) to position “MIN”) first. Increase the volume to a level that is comfortable for you only after you have
put the headphones on.
1. Plug the headphones into the headphone jack HEADPHONES (11).
2. Use the PFL ASSIGN switch (7) to determine whether you hear the signal from channel CH1 or channel CH2.
3. You can listen to the input signal without it being reproduced on the connected amplifier. This will enable you, for example in cross-fading/
mixing, to find the correct starting point.
Cross-fading (CROSSFADER)
1. Use the CROSSFADER (9) to cross-fade between the signals of channels CH1 and CH2.
2. One channel is faded out by operating the CROSS-FADER (becomes quieter), while the other channel is faded in (becomes louder).
3. In the central position, both channels are reproduced equally.
Setting the microphone
1. Set the MIC-LEVEL control (4) to the left stop position “MIN”.
2. Speak into the microphone.
3. Slowly increase the volume of the microphone by turning the MIC LEVEL control (4) in a clockwise direction until the desired level is reached.
4. The microphone signal is not influenced by the channel fader.
