							MASTER LEVEL - Use this level to control your main volume output. Try never to send an output of 
more  than  +4dB  to  your  system.  Signal  at  levels  higher  than  this  will  start  to  distort  and  may  cause 
damage to your system and speakers. Remember that a distorted signal from you mixer will only be 
multiplied throughout your system.
CHANNEL GAIN LEVEL - The channel gain levels are not to be used as volume controls. Never use 
the  channel  trim  to  set  the  output  volume.  These  controls  are  used  to  aid  in  distortion  control.  Use 
these control to preset your signal level before the crossfader. With your channel faders in the maxi-
mum position, use the channel trim level to set an average output level of about +4dB on you master 
l e ve l  m e t e r.
HEADPHONES - To avoid damaging your headphones always be sure the headphone volume level (7) 
is set to minimum before plugging them in. To avoid sever hearing damage, never put the headphone 
on without making sure the headphone level is turned down.
MAIN MIC -  The main mic connector uses a 1/4” unbalanced jack. The main mic also has an indepen-
dent volume control. When feedback occurs when using the mic, try lowering the level this may reduce 
the feedback. Always leave the mic level to it’s minimum level when not in use. Note: We recommend 
that you use a 500-600ohm microphone for the best sound quality.
CHANNEL LINE LEVEL SELECTOR SWITCHES - This switch is used to change the selected input 
from phono to line and vice versa. The switch selectors are on the rear panel.

     CHANNEL GAIN CONTROL - This adjustment is used to adjust the audio source signal input gain 
for  a  channel.  Never  use  the  gain  control  to  adjust  a  channels  output  volume.  Setting  the  gain  level 
properly  will  ensure  a  clean  output  signal.  An  improper  gain  level  adjustment  will  send  a  distorted 
signal throughout the entire audio line which may damage speakers and amplifiers. To properly set a 
channels gain level control:
   1. Be sure the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (5) is set to level 8.
   2. Set the CHANNEL FADER to level 8.
   3. Begin playback on an audio source connected to the channel you are adjusting.
   4. Use the Gain Control to adjust an average output volume of +4 dB.    
   5. Repeat this step for all channels.
     CHANNEL TREBLE CONTROL - This knob is used to adjust the treble levels of a channel allowing 
for  a  maximum  treble  gain  of  12dB  or  maximum  decrease  of  -∞dB.  Turning  the  knob  in  a  counter-
clockwise direction will decrease the amount of treble applied to a channel signal, turning the knob in 
a clockwise direction will increase the amount of treble applied to a channel signal.
     CHANNEL MIDRANGE CONTROL - This knob is used to adjust the midrange levels of a channel 
allowing for a maximum midrange gain of 12dB or maximum decrease of -∞dB. Turning the knob in a 
counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of midrange applied to a channel signal, turning 
the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of midrange applied to a channel signal.
    CHANNEL BASS CONTROL - This  knob  is  used  to  adjust  the  low  frequency  levels  of  a  channel 
allowing for a maximum bass gain of 12dB or maximum signal decrease of -∞dB. Turning the knob in 
a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of bass applied to a channel signal, turning the 
knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of bass applied to a channel signal.
     LPF/HPF CONTROL - This knob is used to control the LPF/HPF filter. The LED indicator will glow 
when the filter is On. The center position for the Filter is neutral so the signal is will not be filtered. Turn 
the knob to the left from the neutral position to set the low pass filter, this will cut off all frequencies 
higher than the amount set on the filter. Turn the knob to the right from the neutral position to set the 
high pass filter, this will cut off all frequencies lower than the amount set on the filter.
