1.1 Before you get started
1.1.1 Shipment
The PRO MIXER was carefully packed at the assembly plant to
assure secure transport. Should the condition of the cardboard
box suggest that damage may have taken place, please inspect
the unit immediately and look for physical indications of damage.
+
If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to
BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the shipping
company immediately. Otherwise, claims for
damage or replacement may not be granted.

We recommend that you use a flight case, so as to
give your mixer optimum protection during use or
transport.

1.1.2 Initial operation
Please make sure the unit is provided with sufficient ventilation,
and never place the PRO MIXER on top of an amplifier or in the
vicinity of a heater to avoid the risk of overheating.
For rack mounting, please use M6 metal nuts and bolts.

Before plugging the unit into a power socket, please
make sure you have selected the correct voltage:
The fuse compartment near the power plug socket contains
three triangular markings. Two of these triangles are opposite
one another. The voltage indicated adjacent to these markings is
the voltage to which your unit has been set up, and can be
altered by rotating the fuse compartment by 180°. ATTENTION:
This does not apply to export models that were for
example manufactured only for use with 120 V!

If you alter the unit’s voltage, you must change the
fuses accordingly. The correct value of the fuses
needed can be found in the chapter
“SPECIFICATIONS”.
+
Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses of
appropriate rating without exception! The correct
value of the fuses needed can be found in the
chapter “SPECIFICATIONS”.
Power is delivered via the cable enclosed with the unit. All
required safety precautions have been adhered to.
+
Please make sure that all units have a proper
ground connection. For your own safety, never
remove or disable the ground conductor from the
unit or on the AC power cord. The unit should always
be connected to a mains socket outlet with a
protective earthing connection.

When installing the product, ensure the appliance
coupler of power cord is easily accessible for
