Introduction

Thank you for buying a 

SPIRIT FOLIO

 mixer, brought to you with pride by the 

SPIRIT

 team of Peter, Graham, Malcolm,

Martin, Peter, George, Colin, Tony, Dave, Mukesh, Andy, Candy and Simon.  We hope you have as much fun as we

did!

Owning a 

SPIRIT

 console brings you the expertise and support of one of the industry’s leading manufacturers and the

results of over 20 years experience supporting some of the biggest names in the business.  

Built to the highest standards using quality components, 

FOLIO

 is designed to be as easy to use as possible, but some

time spent NOW, looking through this manual and getting to know your new mixer will give you lots of helpful tips and

confidence, away from the pressures of a live session.  Don’t be afraid to experiment to find out how each control affects

the sound  -  this will only extend your creativity and help you to get the best from your mixer.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

For your own safety and to avoid invalidation of the warranty please read this section carefully.

The 

FOLIO

 desk must only be connected through the Power Supply Unit supplied.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow:

Earth

Blue:

Neutral

Brown:

Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals

in your plug, proceed as follows:

••

The wire which is coloured Green and Yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with

the letter E or by the earth symbol.

••

The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N

or coloured Black.

••

The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L

or coloured Red.

Ensure that these colour codings are followed carefully in the event of the plug being changed.

To avoid the risk of fire replace the fuse only with the correct value fuse, as indicated on the power supply.

The power supply contains no user-serviceable parts.  Refer all servicing to a qualified service engineer,

through the appropriate Soundcraft dealer.

INITIAL SETTING UP

You will probably use your 

SPIRIT FOLIO

 with a wide range of different types of sound source, and these will be at varying

signal levels.  It is important to set the GAIN of the inputs correctly to give the best performance.

Set up the individual mono input channels as follows:

••

Plug in the chosen source (usually the MIC input for mics and the LINE input for anything else).  Plug in phantom

powered mics before switching the phantom power on.  

••

Set the Master Faders fully down.

••

Provide the chosen source with a typical signal level and press and hold the PFL button by the fader.  The level of

signal will be shown on the right-hand Bargraph Meter (the Left meter will be switched off by depressing the PFL

button).
