QUICK START MIC AND ACOUSTIC GUITAR
In this example we connect an acoustic guitar to Chan 1, and a
Mic to Chan 2.
1. Connect Power cord.
2. With “Speaker Volume” turned down, Turn “Power Switch” to
“On” position.
3. Connect the Line Level Output of your acoustic guitar into
Chan 1, Line or INSTR 1/4” input jack. Note: Chan 1 Source
is set to “Mic/Line.” or “INSTR”
4. Connect your Mic to Chan 2, XLR input jack. Note: Chan 2
Source is set to “Mic/Line.”
5. Set input levels. Press “System”; the LCD shows a level bar
graph for each channel. Adjust rear panel “Gain” control until
the display shows -12dB for Guitar and Mic.
5A. Press “Main MIX” adjust Chan 1 and chan 2 encoder to
0db.12 o’clock.
5B. Adjust Master Volume for desired output level.
Voice or Guitar can be heard now.
6. Set Mic Mix, EQ, and Reverb.
6A. Press Chan 1 or 2 Encoder: LCD shows EQ parameters for
Chan 1 or 2. Adjust 5 encoders as necessary to set your
EQ.
For our example we’ll set “LowC” to 180 Hz, “Low” to +4.0,
“Mid” to +5, “MidF” to 2.0k and “Hi” to +2.0.
6B. Press “Reverb” adjust Chan 1 or 2 encoder for EFX level.
7. Repeat step 5A and 6 for other Channels (acoustic guitar)
