• Make sure to observe the instructions in this manual as the conventions of safety symbols and messages regarded
as very important precautions are included.
• We also recommend you keep this instruction manual handy for future reference.
Warnings and safety.
Safety Symbol and Message Conventions.
Safety symbols and messages described below are used in this manual to prevent bodily injury and property damage,
which could result from mishandling. Before operating your product, read this manual rst and understand the safety
symbols and messages so you are thoroughly aware of the potential safety risk.
Warning.
When Installing the Unit.
• Do not expose the unit to rain or an environment
where it may be splashed by water or other liquids, as
doing so may result in re or electric shock.
• Use the unit only with the voltage specied on the unit.
Using a voltage higher than that which is specied may
result in re or electric shock.
• Do not cut, kink, otherwise damage nor modify the
power supply cord. In addition, avoid using the power
cord in close proximity to heaters, and never place
heavy objects -- including the unit itself -- on the pow-
er cord, as doing so may result in re or electric shock.
• Be sure to replace the unit’s terminal cover after
connection completion. Because high voltage is applied
to the speaker terminals, never touch these terminals
to avoid electric shock.
• Be sure to ground to the safety ground (earth) terminal
to avoid electric shock. Never ground to a gas pipe as a
catastrophic disaster may result.
• Avoid installing or mounting the unit in unstable
locations, such as on a rickety table or a slanted
surface. Doing so may result in the unit falling down,
causing personal injury and/or property damage.

WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in death or serious
personal injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in moderate or
minor personal injury, and/or property damage.
When the Unit is in Use.
• Should the following irregularity be found during use,
immediately switch off the power, disconnect the power
supply plug from the AC outlet and contact your near-
est ArtSound dealer. Make no further attempt to oper-
ate the unit in this condition as this may cause re or
electric shock.
• If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming from
the unit.
• If water or any metallic object gets int o the unit
• If the unit falls, or the unit case breaks
• If the power supply cord is damaged (exposure of
the core, disconnection, etc.)
• If it is malfunctioning (no tone sounds.)
• To prevent a re or electric shock, never open nor
remove the unit case as there are high voltage compo-
nents inside the unit. Refer all servicing to your nearest
ArtSound dealer.
• Do not place cups, bowls, or other containers of liquid
or metallic objects on top of the unit. If they acciden-
tally spill into the unit, this may cause a re or electric
shock.
• Do not insert nor drop metallic objects or ammable
materials in the ventilation slots of the unit’s cover, as
this may result in re or electric shock.

2. General description.
This device is developed to use with serval sources at the one side , powered with an amplier on the other side.
The MIKS6.4 is a go between which allows you to direct one or several sources (11-line inputs, mics, ...) to different
zones. (maximum 4)
When the Unit is in Use.
Caution.
When Installing the Unit.
An all-pole mains switch with a contact separation of at least 3 mm in each pole shall be incorporated in
the electrical installation of the building.
Due to product upgrades, while some of the features and specication in the user manual does not
match the actual functions, sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for your kind understanding!
• Never plug in nor remove the power supply plug with
wet hands, as doing so may cause electric shock.
• When unplugging the power supply cord, be sure to
grasp the power supply plug; never pull on the cord
itself. Operating the unit with a damaged power supply
cord may cause a re or electric shock.
• When moving the unit, be sure to remove its power
supply cord from the wall outlet. Moving the unit with
the power cord connected to the outlet may cause
damage to the power cord, resulting in re or electric
shock. When removing the power cord, be sure to hold
its plug to pull.
• Do not block the ventilation slots in the unit’s cover.
Doing so may cause heat to build up inside the unit and
result in re.
• Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty locations,
in locations exposed to the direct sunlight, near the
heaters, or in locations generating sooty smoke or
steam as doing otherwise may result in re or electric
shock.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit as this may
cause it to fall or break which may result in personal
injury and/or property damage. In addition, the object
itself may fall off and cause injury and/or damage.
• Make sure that the volume control is set to minimum
position before power is switched on.
• Loud noise produced at high volume when power is
switched on can impair hearing.
• Do not operate the unit for an extended period of time
with the sound distorting. This is an indication of a
malfunction, which in turn can cause heat to generate
and result in a re.
• Contact your ArtSound dealer as to the cleaning. If
dust is allowed to accumulate in the unit over a long
period of time, a re or damage to the unit may result.
• If dust accumulates on the power supply plug or in the
wall AC outlet, a re may result. Clean it periodically.
In addition, insert the plug in the wall outlet securely.
• Switch off the power, and unplug the power supply plug
from the AC outlet for safety purposes when cleaning
or leaving the unit unused for 10 days or more. Doing
otherwise may cause a re or electric shock.
Magnetic eld
CAUTION! Do not locate sensitive high gain equipment such as preampliers or tape decks directly above or below the
unit. Because this amplier has a high power, it has a strong magnetic eld which can
induce hum into unshielded devices that are located nearby. The eld is strongest just above and below the unit.
Locate the amplier(s) in the bottom of the rack and the preamplier or other sensitive equipment at the top.
