Enstriksyon Operasyon
Input Channels (1-4)
- MIC IN / LINE IN: XLR inputs for microphones and 1/4" TRS inputs for line-level signals.
- GAY: Adjusts the input sensitivity for the connected microphone or line source. Set this to achieve a healthy signal level without clipping (indicated by the PEAK LED).
- COMP (Channels 1 & 2 only): Single-knob compressor for dynamic range control. Turn clockwise to increase compression.
- EQ (Segondè, Mid, Low): 3-band equalizer for shaping the tone of the input signal.
- EQ HIGH (10 kHz): Ajiste frekans treble yo.
- EQ MID (1250 Hz): Ajiste frekans mitan-ranje yo.
- EQ LOW (100 Hz): Ajiste frekans bas yo.
- AUX/FX POST: Sends a portion of the channel signal to the internal effects processor or external AUX output. This is a post-fader send, meaning its level is affected by the channel fader.
- PAN: Adjusts the stereo position of the channel signal in the main mix (left to right).
- NIVO: The main fader for controlling the output level of the individual channel to the main mix.
- PEAK LED: Illuminates when the input signal is too high, indicating potential clipping. Reduce the GAIN control if this LED lights up frequently.
Stereo Channels (5/6, 7/8, 9/10)
- STEREO INPUT: 1/4" TRS inputs for channels 5/6, 7/8, 9/10. Channels 7/8 and 9/10 also include RCA inputs.
- GAY: Adjusts the input sensitivity for the stereo line source.

- AUX/FX POST: Sends a portion of the channel signal to the internal effects processor or external AUX output.
- BAL (Ekilib): Adjusts the balance between the left and right signals of the stereo channel.
- NIVO: The main fader for controlling the output level of the stereo channel to the main mix.
- PEAK LED: Illuminates when the input signal is too high.
Pouvwa Fantom (+48V)

Depanaj
| Pwoblèm | Kòz posib | Solisyon |
|---|---|---|
| Pa gen pwodiksyon son | Power off; cables disconnected; master fader down; channel fader down; incorrect input/output routing. | Check power, all cable connections, MAIN MIX fader, individual channel LEVEL faders, and correct input/output selection. |
| Son defòme | Input GAIN too high; output levels too high; faulty cable. | Reduce input GAIN (ensure PEAK LED does not light up); lower MAIN MIX or channel LEVEL faders; try a different cable. |
| Pa gen pouvwa fantom | +48V switch not engaged; faulty microphone or cable. | Engage the PHANTOM POWER +48V CH1/4 switch; test with a different microphone or cable. |
| Efè pa travay | FX MASTER or FX RETURN down; AUX/FX POST on channel down; FX MUTE engaged. | Increase FX MASTER and FX RETURN levels; increase AUX/FX POST on desired channels; disengage FX MUTE. |
| USB recording/playback issues | Incorrect USB connection; driver issues (Windows); incorrect audio settings in DAW. | Ensure USB cable is securely connected; check computer's audio device settings; verify DAW input/output selection. |
