the 8-Series USB-A port to CL-16 USB-B port.

1/4” TRS “To 8-Series Headphone Out” jack using supplied cable.
3. Connect a 10-18 V DC power source using a 4-pin XLR (F)
to the DC Input of the CL-16. Power source not included.

8-Series User Guide for all operating instructions and details.

powered up, it will automatically start up the CL-16.

off position. The CL-16 will also power down.
Unplugging the CL-16 from the
8-Series
The CL-16 can be plugged/unplugged from the 8-Series while pow-
ered on with no damage to either unit. When the CL-16 is unplugged,
“Control Surface Unplugged” is displayed in the 8-Series LCD. No
levels will change. At this point:
Select OK to continue without the control surface. Expect sudden
level changes as audio levels will now be determined by the trims
and faders on the 8-Series.
or
Reconnect the CL-16. No levels will change unless OK is selected.
Updating CL-16 Firmware
When necessary, CL-16 firmware is automatically updated when
updating the 8-Series firmware. The 8-Series .prg firmware update file
contains update data for both the 8-Series and the CL-16.
Connect the CL-16 to the 8-Series and ensure both are connected
to reliable power sources. Update the 8-Series firmware using the
normal procedure. If there is an available CL-16 firmware update, it
will automatically start after the 8-Series has completed its update
process. The CL-16’s stop button will flash yellow while the CL-16 is
updating. Once the CL-16 update has completed, the 8-Series/CL-16
combo will power on and be ready for use.
