DSP EFFECTS SELECTOR. 0 0 PA410 / PA620 CONTROLS QUICK START UP If you're like most new owners, you're probably in a hurry to plug your mixer in and use it. Here are some brief instructions to get you going quickly. With the mixer unplugged and the unit turned off, complete the following procedures: 1. CONNECTING AC POWER TO YOUR MIXER · Be sure to use the correct power cable for your country. (120VAC or 240 VAC) · Use only a grounded (3 prong) power outlet to prevent a shock hazard and reduce hum and noise. CONNECTING SPEAKERS · Use the 1/4" SPEAKER jacks on the front panel to connect up to two 8 speakers. The speaker cables are to be non-shielded with a minimum size of 16 gauge. NOTE: Do not run your speakers through microphone wire, guitar cables, or multi-conductor microphone junction boxes or "snakes" as they are sometimes referred to. This wire is normally shielded and of a very light gauge causing a substantial loss of power. CONNECTING INPUTS TO YOUR MIXER · For low level balanced devices such as microphones, plug into the balanced MIC inputs using a shielded XLR cable. · For high level unbalanced devices such as instruments & Keyboards plug into the LINE input jacks using a shielded 1/4" phone cable. Set the GAIN switch so the LEVEL control is not overly sensitive. TURNING YOUR MIXER ON · Turn all channel and master LEVEL controls to their off positions · Adjust all "EQ" tone controls-- the channel's HI and LOW and the 7 Band Graphic EQ's to their center position. · Turn the mixer on by the rear panel POWER SWITCH and watch for the POWER LED to light. Your mixer is now ready to operate. MASTER SECTION FEATURES 4. CHANNEL LEVEL CONTROL The LEVEL control adjusts the volume of the channel before going to the MAIN master LEVEL. Here is where the individual channel volumes are adjusted to make up the desired mix heard at the main outputs. A general rule to prevent interstage distortion is to always keep the MAIN master LEVEL the same or higher than the channel LEVEL. 8. THE GRAPHIC EQUALIZER The 7 band graphic EQ is an excellent tool to fine tune the overall mix. Set all sliders to their center detent position. When the sliders are in this position, they do not effect the audio signal. [. . . ] TAPE IN-OUT RCA JACKS The RCA IN jacks are Ideal for pluggng in keyboard, cassette deck or CD player. The LEFT/RIGHT TAPE OUT RCA jacks deliver the main mix for recording (pre graphic EQ). 17. EFFECTS/FOOTSWITCH Plug the optional FS22 footswitch into this jack to remotely turn the effects ON or OFF. 12. MONITOR MASTER LEVEL CONTROL The MONITOR master level control is the master volume for the monitor mix which is sent to the monitor output. [. . . ]
