Designed to accept both balanced and unbalanced signals from microphones with an XLR
input connector. Good quality low impedance condenser or dynamic mic's should preferably be
used for best effect, these will ensure the best possible results from hand held vocals or
closely mic'd instruments.
Available and individually switchable for all mono MIC inputs for use with condenser
microphones.
Phantom power must always be switched off when using unbalanced sources since the
voltage present may damage your microphone.
Always connect your condenser microphones and disable the CHANNEL ON before switching
the +48V Phantom Power on.
Used for all balanced / unbalanced line level signals from keyboards, drum machines, tape
machines and DI boxes. (eg; from guitars and basses).
Conveniently placed close to the gain control, the LED and illuminates green to indicate signal
present, Use to optimise channel
gain.
This provides switching between the Mic and the Line inputs and also pads down the MIC
input signal should the level be too high.
Adjusts the level of the input signal into the channel. Set the gain to the point where the
SIGNAL PRESENT LED illuminates red on the occasional peak.
This is used to remove any unwanted low frequency content with a signal.
A three band EQ system with a swept mid control, ±12dB cut and boost is provided in each
band and a variable frequency for the mid control.

sent equally left and right when set central.
Pressing the CHANNEL ON switch will routed audio from the Mono input channel to the mix.
The status LED will illuminate when the channel is active (’ON’).
When depressed sends the 'pre fader' channel signal to the left hand master 'bar-graph'
display and headphones, allowing channel 'Gain' to be set and cued. This is non destructive
so may be used at any time during the performance without effecting the main Mix output.
The PFL status LED will illuminate when the PFL is active.
Sets the output level of the channel sent to the MASTERS and FX busses. The relationship
between the 'fader' and the channel 'gain' controls is important and is explained in detail in

5) GAIN
6) 80HZ HIGH PASS FILTER
Designed to accept both balanced and unbalanced mic or line level signals from microphones
or instruments with an XLR or JACK input connector. Good quality low impedance dynamic
mic's should preferably be used for best effect, as these will ensure the best possible results
from hand held vocals or closely mic'd instruments. In mono mode, (Mono / Stereo switch -
out position) the signal will be sent to the MIX L and R. In stereo mode, will be routed to the
MIX L only.
This input will accept line level balanced or unbalanced signals. In stereo mode the signal will
route signal to MIX R. In mono mode, the LINE R is disabled.
This channel can be used as an additional mono input channel, or used as a stereo with the
left signal plugged into Combo XLR and the right signal into the LINE jack socket.
The L and R inputs are intended for the left and right of a stereo signal.
The left and right signal will be taken from the MIC (LINE L) XLR or jack inputs only.
A signal connected to the LINE R won’t be heard.
This is used to remove any unwanted low frequency content with a signal.
3) SIGNAL PRESENT / PEAK LED
As with the mono input, green indicates signal present, which will turn red as an indication of
the onset of distortion.
Switch out = Mono mode.
Adjusts the level of the input signal into the channel. Set the gain to the point where the
SIGNAL PRESENT LED illuminates red on the occasional peak.
Switch pressed in = Stereo mode.
USB I/O
Stereo input channel’s 11/12 are equipped with USB I/O. To use this feature,
connect USB audio to the provided socket and press in the Mono / Stereo USB

The AUX 1 and 2 are set for pre fade/post EQ operation. Their signal is sourced as a sum of
the L and R inputs.
FX 1 and 2 are set for post fade/post EQ operation. As with the AUX sends, the FX send
signal is sourced as a sum of the L and R inputs, unless MONO is enabled when signal will
be routed from the L input.
Assigns (Pans) the channel signal across the left and right master outputs, the signal being
sent equally left and right when set central.
The pre fade listen switch (when pressed) sends the pre fader channel signal to the left hand
master bar-graph display and headphones. This allows channel 'Gain' to be set and cued.
This is non destructive so may be used at any time during the performance without effecting
the main mix output. The PFL status LED will illuminate when the PFL is active.
The channel fader sets the level for audio sent to the Main L and R outputs. The relationship
between the 'fader' and the channel 'gain' controls is important and is explained in detail in
the setting up procedure section.

The SEND outputs are used to route audio out of the console and to and external
FX unit.
Signals returning from the outboard FX unit are fed back into the console via the
RETURN connectors. From here they are internally routed to the MIX L and R
busses.
The SEND and RETURN (Performer-FX only) run in parallel to the internal DSP,
meaning internal DSP and outboard FX can be used at the same time.
Green indicates audio present and red means to much level clipping the internal
DSP or signal chain.
These control the audio level being fed to the FX send outputs. Adjust the controls in
conjunction with (4 - Signal present led’s) to avoid clipping.
A quick and easy way to monitor the FX send bus via the headphones.
Use these to route signals on the FX1 and FX2 busses to the AUX busses.
Mute or enable the FX return audio.
Route the FX Return audio to the
headphones. This signal is not affected by the FX ON or FX faders.
Controls the level of the FX RETURN signal being routed onto the Main Left and
Right busses.
The After fade listen switch (when pressed) sends the FX1 or FX2 signal to the left
hand master bar-graph display and headphones. This allows for the FX send level to
be set and cued. This is non destructive so may be used at any time during the
performance without effecting the main mix output. The AFL status LED will
illuminate when AFL is active.

Switching on your mixer.
1) Setting The Channel
The power socket and mains switch is located on the rear of the console.
Set the Master Faders to minimum.
Connect your input signal to a chosen channel.
Set input selector for line/mic using the -20dB on Mono channels or mono/stereo for Stereo channels.
Enable PFL on the input channel. (See note 3 for more information about Soloing).
Increase the channel gain control and look for master left) meter.
Slowly increase the MASTER FADERS.
Adjust the EQ controls on the channel to obtain your required sound.
Now repeat for the remaining inputs.
Remember to disable the channel solo and turn each channel off when you have finished.
+6dB or +9dB peaks on the Solo (
Listen to the signal with your headphones.
Switch your channel 'ON’.
Increase the channel fader to 0dB.
The following options are available for Stereo Inputs:
Connect the left signal, a balanced/unbalanced jack or XLR into the MIC/(LINE L) combo socket.
Connect the right signal into the Line R socket.
To use the stereo input as an additional mono input, connect the signal into the left input and disable the
Mono/Stereo button - switch in the out position.
Please note: With the Stereo/Mono button out, the right channel input will be disabled.
All inputs and outputs have the ability to Solo the signal using the PFL / ALF buttons. A solo’d signal is displayed on
the left master meter and appears on the headphones.
PFL means ‘Pre-Fade-Listen’. The solo signal is sourced before a fader or pot.
AFL means ‘After-Fade-Listen’. The solo signal is sourced after a fader or pot.

Reduce the channel faders to minimum and switch all the channels 'ON' that you are going to use.
Increase the first channel fader to between -10dB and 0dB.
Increase the master faders to a give a comfortable volume.
As channels are added to the mix you may wish to adjust the position in the stereo image. This is done using the
channel pan pot.
The level of each instruments/vocal in the mix is fine tuned using the channel faders.
During the performance you will probably have to adjust levels and EQ to compensate for changes in venue
acoustics as the more people arrive. The overall mix is EQ’d using the Master Graphic equaliser:
As a general rule, avoid big variations in the position of adjacent faders.
For recording you mix, the USB I/O (located on Input 11/12) and TAPE OUT are available. Level is set via the REC
OUT level pot.
Two FX sends are provided for your use. The Performer-FX can utilise its onboard FX, additional outboard FX or a
combination of the two. Both sends are post fade so the relationship between the clean signal and effected signal
remains constant whatever the position of the channel fader.
As a general guide the halls, rooms and plates are good for vocals, but most instruments will also benefit from this
effect.
