[. . . ] ATTENTION: POUR EVITER LES CHOCS ELECTRIQUES, INTRODUIRE LA LAME LA PLUS LARGE DE LA FICHE DANS LA BORNE CORRESPONDANTE DE LA PRISE ET POUSSER JUSQU' AU FOND. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. "WARNING" "TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. " SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference. [. . . ] Each [SOLO] switch allows you to monitor the soloed signal of the corresponding AUX SEND (1, 2 or 3) output. When the switch is down, the solo function is engaged. Each press of the switch toggles between on and off (See page 30 for details). (26) [MONITOR] control Adjusts the output level of the [MONITOR (L/R)] and [PHONES] jacks. The output level of the [PHONES] jack is controlled by the [PHONES] and [MONITOR] controls (See page 32 for details). (27) [EFF SEND] control / [SOLO] switch Adjusts the output level of the EFFECT SEND . Each [SOLO] switch allows you to monitor the soloed signal of the EFFECT SEND output. When the switch is down ( ), the solo function is engaged. Each press of the switch toggles between on and off. (28) [ASSIGN TO STEREO OUT] switches Each switch allows you to send the post signal of the corresponding GROUP fader to the [STEREO OUT L/R] jacks. When the switch is down, the signal is sent ( See page 33 for details). (29) [OUTPUT LIMITER] switch Activates or deactivates the limiter function for all the buss outputs (stereo L/R outputs, group outputs 1 through 4, Aux send outputs 1 through 3, effect send output, and monitor outputs). When the switch is down ( ), the limiter function is active. 30 31 (30) [GROUP 1-4] faders Each fader adjusts the output level of the corresponding group output signal which is output from the [GROUP OUT] jack (See page 33 for details). (31) [STEREO] fader Adjusts the output level of the stereo output signal which is output from the [STEREO OUT (L/R)] and [ST MIX OUT (L/R)] jacks. 24 Model AP3060 [Names and functions] Control unit (rear panel) 1 (1) [TO CONTROLLER] connector Used to connect to the [CONTROLLER] connector of the main unit using the supplied (or a different) CAT5 cable (See page 13 for details). <Note>: Use only a CAT-5 STP cable (straight type) for connection between the main unit and the control unit.

The connector is a combo type - a combined XLR connector and phone jack in one. You can connect a microphone to the XLR connector or connect a line signal to the phone jack. Usually phantom power does not damage a dynamic microphone, however, do not connect an old ribbon microphone to an input connector to which phantom power is supplied. · Selecting channel source On each of input channels 15 and 16, the [SOURCE (INPUT/SUB IN)] select switch is provided. When the switch is in the INPUT ( ) position, a signal from the [INPUT] connector is selected. When the switch is in the SUB IN ( ) position, a signal from the [SUB IN] jacks (L for channel 15, R for channel 16) is selected (see page 34 for details). T INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT K K PHANTOM POWER · Phantom power supply setting 48 V phantom power can be supplied to the XLR input connectors. For most of condenser microphones, the phantom power is required. You can turn on or off phantom power using the [PHANTOM] switches in eight channel groups (1-8 and 9-16) using these switches. Adjusting the input level The [TRIM] control adjust the head amp gain of each input signal. To get the optimum gain, set this control appropriately so that the [PEAK] indicator lights at the maximum input level. By adjusting this control appropriately, the AP3060 can accept a signal within -60dBu and -12dBu for an XLR connector is connected, while it can accept a signal within -40dBu and +8dBu when a phone plug is connected. <Memo>: It is important to set the [TRIM] control appropriately. Otherwise, the signal may be distorted or noisy.

Optimum gain Clipping level Too high Too low Clipping level <Note>: When you turn off phantom power, the indicator is not immediately turned off, however, phantom power is immediately turned off. <Note>: The [TRIM] control the gain of the head amplifier with a two-stage pre-amp and there is a point where the gain is switched (at approx. -35 dBu for XLR input, -15 dBu for phone input). At this point, a noise may be generated. 28 Model AP3060 [Mixer basics] <Gain adjustment while monitoring> To adjust the gain while monitoring an input signal, connect headphones to the [PHONES] jack (or connect a powered monitor speaker to the [MONITOR OUT] jacks) and rotate the [PHONES] control (or [MONITOR] control) little to the right from the leftmost position.
