4 Setting up and Connections

The mixer is designed for installation into a rack (482 mm / 19"), but
it can also be placed on a table� To ensure sufficient cooling, air must
always be able to flow freely through all air vents� Make sure to place
the mixer on a flat surface when setting it up� To make operation
easier, unfold the two feet on the lower side and tilt the mixer up-
wards� For installation into a rack, the mixer requires 4 rack spaces
(1 RS = 44�45 mm)�
It is recommended to switch off the devices when making or
changing any connections, at least mute the inputs and turn back the
outputs to minimum; otherwise, signal peaks that occur when connec-
tions are made at high gain may damage the speakers, for example�

4.1 Microphones

Connect microphones with XLR plug to the jacks MIC (15, 16)� For
microphones requiring phantom power, a separate 48 V phantom
power can be activated for each channel during operation (
ter 5�1�1)�

4.2 Audio sources with line level

Connect audio sources with line level (e� g� CD/MP3 player, tuner, key-
boards, effect units) to the stereo inputs ST 1 or ST 2 (14)� The 6�3 mm
jacks are balanced, but it is also possible to connect audio sources
with unbalanced signals via 2-pole 6�3 mm plugs� Connect mono
audio sources to the 6�3 mm jacks of the connections MIC 1– 4 (16)�
To use the stereo channels ST 1 or ST 2 with a mono signal, only
connect the jack LEFT; the signal will then be sent to both stereo
channels�

4.3 Audio sources with digital signal

Connect a stereo audio source with S / PDIF signal to the RCA jack
S/ PDIF (18)�

4.4 USB storage media

To reproduce, for example, audio files from a USB flash drive via the
mixer or to record the signal of the stereo sum or of a signal bus on
the USB flash drive, connect the USB flash drive to one of the two
USB ports (5)� The settings saved to the mixer can also be saved to
an external storage device�
Note: Due to the large number of storage device manufacturers and device driv-
ers, it cannot be guaranteed that all storage media are compatible with the mixer�

4.5 Amplifier system for the audience (front of house)

The mixer follows a quite flexible concept where the outputs do not
have a fixed function� Therefore, each of the outputs can be used to
connect an amplifier system for the audience� In the default settings,
the stereo sum of the mixer is present at the output jacks OUT 7 and
OUT 8 (19) and at the digital outputs S/ PDIF (21) and AES/ EBU (20)� The
XLR outputs are balanced� In addition to the main speakers, specific
zones may be provided with support speakers at additional outputs�
The signals of these support speakers are made available via signal
buses� The bus signals can be delayed individually to compensate
sound delay times�

4.6 Amplifier system for stage monitors

This mixer does not offer any specific Aux ways for stage monitors�
The monitor signals can be mixed on the signal buses and routed to
any outputs�
Connect the amplifiers for the monitor speakers, the active monitors
or the in-ear monitor systems to the corresponding jacks OUT (19)�
For stereo monitor systems, the digital outputs S/ PDIF (21) and
AES / EBU (20) can also be used�

4.7 Effect unit

To integrate an external effect unit, connect its input to the output
OUT (19) which has been assigned to the signal bus used for the
Send signal�
Connect the output of the effect unit to any line level input of
☞
the mixer ( chapter 4�2)�
Stereo effect units will also be able to use the digital inputs and
outputs�

4.8 Headphones

Connect stereo headphones to the 6�3 mm jack H�P (2) to monitor
the Solo bus signals�

4.9 Wireless LAN adapter for remote control

For remote control via a mobile device, connect the wireless LAN
adapter supplied with the mixer to one of the two USB ports (5)�

4.10 Power supply

Connect the mains cable provided to the mains jack (24) and a socket
(230 V/ 50 Hz)�

5 Operation

Switch on the mixer with the POWER switch (22) on the rear� Then
press the key
recent operation will be loaded� The mixer is ready for operation� The
screen (1) will show an overview of the input channels IN 1– 8 (fig� 3)�
To switch off after operation, keep the key
message "Power off – Shutting down..." appears� [To activate the
key lock, press the key briefly (
not used for a longer period of time, switch off the mixer by means
of the POWER switch (22)�
The mixer can partly be operated via the screen or the keys and
control knobs on the unit� For setting most parameters, it is necessary
first to tap the control elements displayed on the screen in order to
be able to set the value by means of the control knob ADJUST (9)� For
many parameters, a fine adjustment can be made when the knob is
pressed and turned at the same time� This will allow a more precise
adjustment than mere operation via the screen where the control
elements are usually adjusted by swiping�
