Quick Start Guide
Step 4 Getting Sound to the
Speakers
1. Adjust the channel GAIN controls so that the
corresponding peak indicators flash briefly on
the highest peak levels.
NOTE
To use the level meter to get an accurate reading of the incom-
ing signal level, turn the channel PFL switch on. Adjust the
GAIN controls so that level meter indication occasionally rises
above the “<” (0) level.
Note that the PHONES jack outputs the pre-fader signal from
all channels for which the PFL switch is ON, so that those sig-
nals can be monitored via the headphones.
2. Turn on the ON and ST switches for each chan-
nel you are using.
3. Make sure that all PFL and AFL switches are
set to off ( ).
4. Turn on ( ) the ON switch for the STEREO
master.
5. Raise the STEREO master fader to the “0”
position.
6. Set the channel faders to create the desired
initial balance.
7. Adjust the overall volume of the STEREO mas-
ter fader.
The overall headphone level is adjusted by the MONITOR/
PHONES control.
NOTE
If the PEAK indicator lights frequently, slightly lower the chan-
nel faders to avoid distortion.
Step 5 Using the Built-in Digital
Effects
1. Turn the [PROGRAM] knob to select the
desired effect, and then press the knob to
enable it.
For details about available effects, see the Digital Effect Pro-
gram List on page 28.
2. Turn on ( ) the FX1/FX2 ON button.
The button lights up when it is turned on.
3. Set the FX1/FX2 RTN fader to the “0” position.
4. Use the channel FX1/FX2 controls to adjust the
effect depth for each channel.
5. Use the FX1/FX2 RTN fader to adjust the over-
all effect depth.
You can use the PARAMETER control to adjust effect
parameters such as reverb time and delay time. For details
about the parameters of each effect that can be adjusted with
the PARAMETER control, see page 28.
