1. Mic 

 

 

Electronically balanced XLR-type inputs for connecting low- 

 

 

impedance microphones. The input provides extremely low noise  

 

 

and low hum signal processing. When connecting a microphone  

 

 

make sure that the pin assignment is correct. Always make sure to  

 

 

read the manual of the microphone you want to connect. The XLR-

 

 

inputs are not suitable for connecting line level signals like an  

 

 

additional mixing console, FX-unit, etc. You have to use the LINE- 

 

 

inputs, when connecting this kind of equipment.

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

2. Line 

 

 

Electronically balanced inputs for connecting a keyboard, CD  

 

 

player, mixer, etc. You can connect balanced or unbalanced  

 

 

signal sources to the Line input. Do not connect signal devices to a 

 

 

channel’s MIC and LINE input at the same time. This will cause  

 

 

mutual interference, which results in level reduction. 

 

 

 

Note: When connecting signal sources, please make sure that the  

 

 

corresponding channel faders and the master faders are at their  

 

 

minimum settings. Otherwise  plug-in noise can occur. 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

3/ 5. LINE in  

 

 

Unbalanced stereo inputs for connecting a keyboard, CD player,  

 

 

mixer, etc. You can connect unbalanced signal sources to the Line 

 

 

input. If using a mono device, always connect it to the Left (mono) 

 

 

input. 

 

 

 

Note: When connecting signal sources, please make sure that the  

 

 

corresponding channel faders and the master faders are at their  

 

 

minimum settings. Otherwise plug-in noise can occur. 

 
 

 

4. Gain  

 

 

Mic Channel input level is determined by the Gain control. With the 

 

 

 

Gain control you can adjust the MIC or LINE input-sensitivity, while  

 

 

 

optimally matching the incoming signals to the mixer’s internal  

 

 

 

operation level. The high gain of this mixer is  ideal when dealing  

 

 

 

with very low input levels (i.e. vocal recordings or distant sound  

 

 

 

sources).

How to set the Input level: 
1)

 Set the gain control and the corresponding channel fader to their minimum setting.

 

2)

 Connect the desired sound source (CD player, microphone, etc.) to the corresponding mic or line 

input.

 

3)

 Play the sound source at its highest volume setting; respectively, sing or speak as loud as possible 

directly into the microphone.

 

4)

 While doing so, adjust the input level using the gain control, so that during the loudest passages the 

peak LED is just not lit.

 

 

 

 

 

This basic channel setting leaves you at least 8dB headroom. This means, you have at least 8dB before 
signal clipping. If you want to make further adjustments to the channel’s EQ setting, you should repeat 
step 

3

 and 

4

 again.
