1. Connect the AC power cord to a 120 Volt AC grounded power
outlet (220 to 240 Volts in export units).
2. Turn the MAIN and MON master controls to 0 initially, then
switch on the Power.
3. You can connect low-impedance microphones to the 3-pin
XLR type MIC inputs.
4. Connect high-impedance mics or mono line-level signal sources
(mixer line outputs, keyboards etc.), to the ¼-inch balanced
LINE IN jacks on channels 1-4, 7/8 and 9/10. Connecting
more than one signal source to both XLR and ¼-inch inputs is
not recommended; this includes stereo sources (if you try to
connect a stereo source to a mono channel using a Y-adapter,
you may get distortion). The ¼-inch channels 5 and 6 are
optimized for musical instruments and are not balanced.
5. Connect stereo sources (CD players, tape decks, stereo key-
boards etc.) to channels 7/8 or 9/10 via the stereo ¼-inch
balanced LINE IN type inputs. Once again, connect only one
signal source per channel, and use shielded patch cords for
all pre-amp connections. If a monitor send or EFX send is not
required use the Tape/CD input for your stereo source.
6a. Use 18-gauge (or heavier) speaker cables, using shielded
patch cords to connect speakers will waste power by heating
up. Connect one or two 8-ohm PA speakers to the SPEAKER
outputs on the rear panel.
Note: To deliver maximum power to a pair of 4-ohm PA
speakers, connect only one speaker to each amplifier.
6b. If you are using a separate power amplifier for the stage
monitor speakers, connect the main speakers (as in #6,
above) and run a shielded patch cord from the Pre-EQ or
Post-EQ Out jack to the input of the monitor power amp. If
you are using a separate graphic equalizer for the monitors
run a shielded patch cord from the Pre-EQ or Post-EQ Out
OUT jack to the input of the EQ. Then, another one from the
EQ’s output to the input of the monitor power amp.
7. Position your main PA speakers at the front of the stage,
pointing directly at the audience. Position your monitor
speakers on the stage floor; preferably to one side of the mic
stands, pointing up at the performer. Try to use cardioid or
uni-directional mics to help reduce the threat of feedback
through the monitors (avoid having the back of the mic
pointing directly at the speakers).
8. During a sound check and with the band playing, make the
following control adjustments:
i. On mono channels, you need to set the TRIM appropri-
ately. To set the TRIM, first turn the channel LEVEL con-
trol down, with a normal signal (present at the input)
adjust the TRIM control until the green LED flashes only
during the peaks in signal. Now you can use the LEVEL
control to set the channel volume level.
ii. Set the channel Lo, Mid, and Hi EQ controls at center. Set
the channel LEVEL, MON, and EFX controls to seven. The
Graphic EQ sliders and rotary shelving controls should be
set at the center position at this point as well.
iii. Turn the MAIN and MON Master controls up to give the
desired volume, the MAIN EFX return to around 7. Effects
in the monitors tend to increase the possibility of feed-
back so if the band insists, set the MON EFX return to 5.
iv. Adjust the channel MON control/s to give each per-
former the desired volume levels. Use the MON master
control to adjust the overall monitor level.
v. Use the channel LEVEL control/s to balance each chan-
nel’s volume level through the main PA speakers.
vi. Turn up the EFX controls on those channels requir-
ing the selected Digital Effect. Typically, the lead and
harmony vocal channels would be good candidates for
effects. Reverb can be used on other channels or on
recorded music, but should be used sparingly.
9. Feedback during a performance is usually caused by one of
the stage monitors. The main PA is less likely to feedback
because the mics are usually a good distance from the main
PA speakers. Therefore, if you’re using monitors, and feed-
back occurs, try the following procedures:
i. Turn the MON Master down until the feedback stops.
ii. If a graphic equalizer is patched between the MON out-
put and your monitor power amp, adjust the EQ sliders
individually to determine which frequency band will
reduce the potential of feedback.
iii. Now turn the MON Master back up. If the feedback
returns, reset the sliders to their original positions and
retry using different sliders.
iv. In the rare case of main system feedback, follow the
above type of procedure, but use the MAIN Master and
the built in Graphic EQ.
