The inputs labeled "STEREO IN 5/6" offer the option of using ¼" phone plugs or RCA plugs and this channel has a volume control. The input labeled "STEREO IN 7/8" is a 3. 5 mm stereo input of the type typically found on personal music players. This input does not have a volume control as personal music players usually have a "volume control" built into the unit. This is the best way to control the volume of the unit plugged into Rev F this input.

For Lead Vocal, STEREO OUTPUTS: We've brought signals into the mixer now let's send them somewhere. . . The CS1214 has 3 stereo pairs of outputs: 1. LEFT/RIGHT speaker outputs - These outputs should only be connected to the CS1214 speakers and under no condition should they be connected to the input of another electronic device. These outputs carry power and as such could damage the electronic device. Only use "unshielded" speaker cables (like the cables provided with your CS1214).

"MONITOR OUTPUTS" These outputs allow you to route the stereo mixer signal to another destination like a recording device, personal monitor, subwoofer or to another PA system (Front of House). Set the "TREBLE" and the "BASS" control to "0" (IN THE CENTER AT THE DETENT). Set the "REVERB" to "0". While talking loudly into the microphone bring up the channel volume until the red "PEAK" indicator blinks quickly. If the indicator does not come on at all and you have turned the channel volume to "10", then reduce the channel volume to "7" and move on to the next step. If the "PEAK" indicator comes on at "3" for instance, then press the MIC/LINE switch returning it to the "up" position and increase the channel volume control. Slowly bring up the "MASTER VOLUME" to the desired loudness. b c 3 Room Voc Inst Pian d 4 Slap Rep Kara a * If you are using a "condenser microphone" engage the PHANTOM POWER button. e g f 5 Larg Lead Stri 7. CONNECTING A KEYBOARD, DRUM MACHINE, CD OR MP3 PLAYER TO THE 5/6 STEREO INPUT: a. Turn down both the "Volume" control on channel "5/6" and the "MASTER VOLUME" control. Connect the output of the device to the "5/6" input of the CS1214 mixer using the appropriate input jacks. (1/4" phone or RCA depending on the output of the device you are trying to connect) c. If there is an output gain or volume control on the device, set that to "7". [. . . ] Substitute a known-good cable for the suspected faulty cable. Connect all power cords to the same power strip. Try a shorter cable if possible, otherwise use a DI box to convert the unbalanced signal to a balanced signal and use the appropriate cabling. Reduce the INPUT level controls and increase the output level of your source devices.
