Quick Start Guide

Setup
1	Make sure that all switches, including the mixer's power switch, are not on (OFF).

See "Precautions for Connecting the Speakers" below.
Passive speakers (Impedance: 8 ohm)
Set to "8ohm" if speakers are connected as shown in the figure above. 

Precautions for Connecting the Speakers   
You must set the [IMPEDANCE SELECT] switch correctly according to the connection method and number of speakers. Be sure that the impedance of your speakers is no less than the impedance that you set on the mixer. Setting this switch incorrectly could result in damage to the mixer/your speakers.
(Table)
Actual speaker impedance* 	[IMPEDANCE SELECT] switch
4 ohm to less than 8 ohm	Set to "4ohm."
8 ohm and over	Set to "8ohm."
If you are unsure of the impedance of the connected speakers	Set to "4ohm."
(Table End)
* For parallel connections: synthetic impedance
Make sure to insert the speaker cables all the way inside until secure. Failure to do so may result in damage to your equipment.
Use speaker cables with an insulated-housing connector.

Getting sound to the speakers
3	Connect the included power cord.   
First, connect it to the mixer's [AC IN] jack, then to a power outlet.
NOTE	Reverse the order when removing the power cord.
(Figure)

4	Turn the mixer's [LEVEL] controls (white knobs) and [MASTER LEVEL] control (red knob) to the minimum (zero). Also, set the equalizer controls (green knobs) to the center "TRIANGLE" or "MUSIC" position.

5	Set the [(OFF) MIC/(ON) LINE] switch to the "(OFF) MIC" position for microphone connection, and to the "(ON) LINE" position for connection of an instrument or audio device.
NOTE	If you are using condenser microphones,  turn on the [PHANTOM (CH1/2)] switch.
(Figure)

6	Turn on the power of the connected sound source (if applicable), then the mixer.
The [POWER] LED lights.
WARNING
To avoid any loud, unexpected noise from the speaker, first turn off the power to the mixer, then the connected sound source (such as an instrument or audio device).
(Figure)

7	For channels to which a microphone, instrument, or audio device is connected, set [LEVEL] to the "TRIANGLE" position.   
(Figure)

8	While outputting sound from the microphone, instrument, or audio device, slowly turn the [MASTER LEVEL] to the right until you reach the optimal volume.   
(Figure)

9	Adjust [LEVEL] on each channel as necessary to set the volume balance between the microphone, instrument, and audio device.

Making optimum volume settings

When the volume is too loud
Turn the [LEVEL] control to the minimum (zero). Set the [(OFF) MIC/(ON) LINE] switch to the "(ON) LINE" position, then slowly raise the [LEVEL] control until the desired volume is reached.
When the volume is too soft
Turn the [LEVEL] control to the minimum (zero). Set the [(OFF) MIC/(ON) LINE] switch to the "(OFF) MIC" position, then slowly raise the [LEVEL] control until the desired volume is reached.
