Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Acapela
16 digital mixer. Over the next few pages we’re
going to take you through the setup and operation
of this fantastic new digital mixer. If you’ve already
purchased this mixer, you probably already know
what you’ve got here… but let us repeat it anyway.
The Acapela is a fully self-contained live audio mixing
console, with 16 input channels available through
XLR inputs – including 4 combo jacks that accept ¼”
jacks as well! There are two additional mixes available
from the onboard USB interface, enabling you to
play music back from the computer. You’ve also got
yourself XLR stereo Main outputs, ¼” Control Room
outputs and four flexible ‘Multi’ outputs. There’s also
the USB connector for recording a stereo signal to
your Windows or Mac computer.
As for control, one way or another, you’re going to
need a peripheral. You can connect a screen and
mouse and control the unit that way, but you can also
use Wi-Fi to connect wirelessly via a tablet. These two
control methods offer very similar functions. There’s
a pretty good number of routing settings and signal
processors for you to play around with, regardless of
which mode of operation you choose to go with. Or,
hey, why not both?
We’ll try our best to make the setup and operation as
painless as possible. Whether you’re happy to use the
Acapela as a desktop controlled digital mixer or you
want to make full use of the wireless control features,
the aim of this manual is to answer all the questions
that may come up the first time you use this mixer. If
you really want to challenge yourself, feel free to go
at it alone; we won’t be offended. All we ask is that
you keep this manual safe, just in case.
