BEFORE PROCEEDING
Please keep this manual in a safe place for
future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to
avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death
from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire
or other hazards. These precautions include, but are
not limited to, the following:
Power supply/power cord
Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as
heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or
otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or
place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip

Using the Compressor
When the compressor is applied to vocals, it evens out the input level, reducing the
level of loud passages and bringing up softer passages. It also makes each sound
more distinct, enabling the listener to better understand the performers singing.
1. Adjust the [COMP] controls until you get the desired sound for channels you
wish to add compression.
Turn the control to the right to increase the level of compression. Avoid setting the value too high, as too
much compression may lead to feedback.

phones, set the switches to the “ MIC” position. For channels with
high-level input signals such as electronic instruments and audio
devices, set the switch to the “ LINE” position.
u [HPF] (High Pass Filter) switches (Channels 1 – 3)
Turning this switch on ( ) applies a high-pass filter that attenuates
frequencies below 80 Hz in the signal by a slope of 12 dB/octave.
This function should be kept on when using vocals in order to reduce
noise from vibration or wind picked up by the microphone.
i [Hi-Z] switch (Channel 4)
Turn this switch on ( ) when you wish to connect instruments with
passive pickups such as acoustic-electric guitars or electric bass
guitars that do not have internal batteries. It enables such devices to
be directly connected to the mixer without the need for a DI (direct
injection box). This function affects only the phone jack input.
o [MIC/LINE] input jacks (Channels 1 – 4)

program. The last value used with each effect program is saved.
NOTE
If desired, a single channel’s [LINE] and [MIC] jacks can be used together
at the same time. But note that the levels cannot be adjusted indepen-
dently. The stereo mini jack has priority for channel 11/12 [LINE] input jack.
NOTE
When you change to a different effect type, the mixer automatically
restores the value that was previously used with the newly selected effect
(regardless of the current position of the FX RTN [PARAMETER] control).
!3 FX RTN [AUX1] send control
For adjusting the level of the signal sent from the built-in effect unit to
the AUX1 bus.
!4 FX RTN [LEVEL] control
