rectly connected or operated, or if it is not repaired in an expert
way� Likewise, no liability will be accepted for data loss caused by
a defect or operating errors and for any consequential damage of
this data loss�
If the unit is to be put out of operation definitively, take it
to a local recycling plant for a disposal which is not harmful
to the environment�
4 Setting Up and Connections
Place the mixer on a flat surface� As an alternative, attach the brackets
supplied to the mixer and then install the mixer in a rack� In order to
ensure sufficient cooling of the amplifier, air must always be able to
flow freely through all air vents�
It is recommended to make or change connections with the units
switched off; always mute the inputs and turn back the outputs to
minimum; otherwise, signal peaks that occur when connections are
made at a high gain may damage the speakers, for example�
4.1 Microphones
Connect microphones with an XLR plug to the jacks MIC / LINE (27)� For
microphones that require phantom power, a separate 48 V phantom
power supply can be activated for each channel during operation
(
☞
chapter 5�1�1)�
4.2 Audio sources with line level
Connect audio sources with line level (e� g� CD/MP3 player, tuner,
keyboards, effect units) to the 6�3 mm jacks of the connections MIC/
LINE (27)�
Stereo audio sources can be connected to the stereo inputs 17/18
or 19/ 20 or to two adjacent mono channels (e� g� 1/ 2, 3/4, …, 15 /16)
that can be linked as a stereo pair� To use the stereo channels 17/18
or 19/ 20 with a mono signal, only connect the jack L; the signal will
then be routed to both stereo channels�
4.3 Computer for stereo recording/reproduction
To reproduce, for example, audio files stored on a computer via the
mixer or to record the signal of the stereo sum MAIN by means of
the computer, connect the jack USB AUDIO (35) to a USB port of
the computer� When making the connection for the first time, make
the connection during operation: The computer will recognise the
switched-on mixer as the USB audio unit for audio input and audio
output� The required drivers (standard drivers of the operating system)
are available on the computer�
Note: If the required drivers are not available on the computer, install them, e� g�
by means of the original operating system CD� If necessary, reboot the computer
after the installation�
4.4 Computer for multi-channel recording / reproduction
For multi-channel recording via a computer, an additional module is
required� To install the module, disconnect the mains cable from the
mains socket and then remove the cover plate (41) from the module
compartment� Push the module into the compartment to the stop so
that the PCB of the module fits into the left and right guides of the
compartment�
Connect the USB jack of the module to a USB port of the com-
puter�
4.5 Front-of-house PA system
Connect the front-of-house PA system to the XLR jacks or the 6�3 mm
jacks of the output MAIN OUT (37)� The outputs are balanced� In
addition to the main speakers, specific areas may be provided with
support speakers whose amplifiers are controlled via the subgroup
outputs SUB OUT (29) of the mixer� The subgroup signals can be
separately delayed to compensate sound delay times�
4.6 Amplification system for stage monitors
The Aux ways are designed for stage monitors� Connect the amplifiers
for the monitor speakers, the active monitors or the in-ear monitor
systems to the jacks AUX OUT (30)� If more than four Aux ways
are required, the four subgroups can be converted into Aux ways
(
☞
chapter 6�2�1) so that the jacks SUB OUT (29) are available as
AUX 5 – 8 for additional monitors�
4.7 Effect unit
Various options for integrating external effect units are available:
– Connect an AUX output (30) to the input of the effect unit and
return the output of the effect unit to an input channel LINE IN
(
☞
chapter 4�2)�
Thus, the AUX Send control can be used to adjust the part of each
channel in the effect signal� To add the effect signal to the signal
of the sum channel MAIN, of a subgroup or of another Aux way,
adjust the level of the input channel of the respective effect signal�
–
Connect a SUB output (29) to the input of the effect unit and
return the output of the effect unit to an input channel LINE IN
(
☞
chapter 4�2)�
Thus, the effect can be applied for all channels that are assigned to
the corresponding subgroup� To add the effect signal to the signal
of the sum channel MAIN, of a subgroup or of another Aux way,
adjust the level of the input channel of the respective effect signal�
–
Use a Y cable (e� g� MCA-202 from MONACOR) to connect an effect
unit to one of the jacks INSERT (31)�

Thus, the input signal of the respective channel will, after passing the
input gain, be routed through the effect unit and will then, ahead
of dynamic-range processing and sound adjustment, be returned
to the same input channel�
4.8 Recorder
To record the stereo sum, connect a recorder to the 6�3 mm jacks
of the output MAIN (37)� These jacks are balanced� For a separately
mixed recording signal, use the Aux ways; in this case, connect the
recorder to the unbalanced jacks AUX OUT (30)�
4.9 Headphones, monitoring system
To monitor the signals via the Solo bus, connect stereo headphones
to the 6�3 mm jack HP1 (26) or HP2 (28)� To send the same signal with
a separate level setting to a monitor system in the control room, for
example, use the outputs CTRL OUT (36)�
4.10 Computer/ Network for remote control
For future remote-control options of the mixer via a computer, use
the jack USB (39) or the jack ETHERNET (40)� To update the firmware
of the mixer, connect the computer to the jack USB (39)�
4.11 Power supply
Connect the mains cable supplied with the mixer to the mains jack(33)
and a socket (230 V/50 Hz)�
