which meets the required safety standards. Blown fuses must
only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating. The
mains connection is made via a cable with IEC mains connector.
An appropriate mains cable is supplied with the equipment.
POWER switch
Use the POWER switch to turn on the mixing console. The
POWER switch should always be in the “Off” position when you
are about to connect your unit to the mains.
To disconnect the unit from the mains, pull out the main cord
plug. When installing the product, ensure that the plug is easily
accessible. If mounting in a rack, ensure that the mains can be
easily disconnected by a plug pull or by an all-pole disconnect
switch on or near the rack.
+
Attention: The POWER switch does not fully
disconnect the unit from the mains. Unplug the
power cord completely when the unit is not used
for prolonged periods of time.
PHANTOM switch
The PHANTOM switch activates the phantom power
(necessary to operate condenser microphones) on the XLR
sockets of the mono channels. The red +48 V LED illuminates
when phantom power is on. As a rule, dynamic microphones
can still be used with phantom power, provided that they are
wired in a balanced configuration. In case of doubt, contact the
microphone manufacturer!
+
Connect microphones before you switch on the
phantom power supply. Please do not connect
microphones to the mixer (or the stagebox/
wallbox) while the phantom power supply is
switched on. In addition, the monitor/PA loud-
speakers should be muted before you activate the
phantom power supply. After switching on, wait
approx. one minute to allow for system
stabilization.

Caution! Please also note the information given in
chapter 6.2.1 “Audio connections”.
SERIAL NUMBER
Please note the important information on the serial number
given in chapter 1.3.3.
6. INSTALLATION
6.1 Rack mounting
The packaging of your mixing console contains two 19" rack
mounts for installation on the side panels of the console.
Before you can attach the rack mounts to the mixing console,
you need to remove the screws holding the left and right side
panels. Then, use these screws to fasten the two rack mounts,
each specifically to one side. With the rack mounts installed, you
can mount the mixing console in a commercially available 19"
rack. Be sure to allow for proper air flow around the unit, and do
not place the mixing console close to radiators or power amps,
so as to avoid overheating.
+
Only use the screws holding the mixing console
side panels to fasten the 19" rack mounts.
6.2 Cable connections
You will need a large number of cables for the various
connections of the console. The illustrations below show the
wiring of these cables. Be sure to use only high-grade cables.

6.2.1 Audio connections
Please use commercial RCA cables to wire the 2-track inputs
and outputs.
You can, of course, also connect unbalanced devices to the
balanced input/outputs. Use either mono plugs, or use stereo
plugs to link the ring and shaft (or pins 1 & 3 in the case of XLR
connectors).

Caution! You must never use unbalanced XLR
connectors (PIN 1 and 3 connected) at the MIC input
jacks if you want to use the phantom power supply.
