PREVENTIVE MEASURES:
1. Please read the attached safety instructions as well as the following instructions carefully.
2. Please keep all the instructions.
3. Please use the device only as intended.
4. Please respect the valid waste management rules. Please deliver the packaging divided into plastic and
paper/ cardboard to the recycling management.
5. Please refer all servicing to qualified personel only if the device is damaged, exposed to liquid/rain or if it does
not operate normally.
6. Please, do not expose to any kind of heat such as ovens, radiators, or any other devices (incl. amplifiers).
Please check for enough distance between amplifiers and walls, racks, etc. to prevent overheating.
7. After connection please check the wiring to prevent any kind of accident or damage.
Please never use any kind of damaged cable and wiring.
8. Only use authorized and stable stands, brackets, shelfs, tables etc.. for installations. Please check for
adequate stability against collapse.
9. Appearance of interferences when using wireless systems.
The simultaneous use of wireless microphones and of mobile phones (if both devices are not very distant from
each other) can lead to the appearance of interferences in the microphone signal which can be heard in the
PA system.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). No user serviceable parts inside. Refer
servicing to qualified personnel.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product´s enclosure that may be
of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk to persons.
The exclamation mark within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the
appliance.
CAUTION! HIGH VOLUME!
You will operate this transmission system for professional use. Therefore the commercial use of this equipment
is liable to the rules and regulations of the Accident Prevention & Insurance Association of your industry sector.
Adam Hall as a manufacturer is bound to inform you formally about the existence of eventual sanitary risks.
This system is able to induce an acoustic pressure of 80 db. 85 db is by law the maximum audio pressure
level which your ear can be exposed to during a work day. It was set according to the technical expertise of the
occupational medicine as a basis for the noise rating level. Higher sound levels or longer exposition times could
damage your ear. The time of exposition by higher sound pressure levels should be shortened in order to prevent
from ear damages. Here are a few reliable warning signals which show that you have exposed yourself for a too
long period to excessive sound pressure levels:
- You hear bell- or whistling sounds!
- You have the impression that you can’t hear high tones anymore!

INTRODUCTION:
Thank you for choosing this LD Systems audio product. The LAX12DA is a professional compact power mixer. It's
smooth, natural sound and precise reproduction make it ideal for gigs, recording, and fixed PA installations. The
LAX12DA offers some features that are not often found in this price class. The mono channels stand out because
of their ultra-low-noise microphone preamps with +48V phantom power. In addition, all channels are equipped
with warm and natural sounding equalizers: the mono channels have 3-band EQs (MID: with adjustable centre
frequencies), the stereo channels with 4-band EQs with fixed centre frequencies. Moreover, the LAX 12DA has
a highly precise (12-segment) level meter, 2-track inputs that are assignable to both the main mix outputs and
the phones/control room outputs, and much more. In addition, the integral 24-bit effects processor provides 100
effects presets. The LAX12DA power mixer is extraordinarily easy to use. Nevertheless, we recommend that you
read this manual carefully before using the product for the first time. This will enable you to get the most out of
your mixer.

This will avoid damage to your speakers due to loud power-on noise and high levels. Always turn on the mixer
first and then any power amplifier connected to it. When powering down, the sequence is reversed: First turn off
the power amplifier and then the mixer. Always turn off the LAX12DA mixer before connecting cables. Do
not use solvents to clean the LAX12DA; use a clean, dry cloth.

These buttons are used to toggle between the two solo modes PFL (pre-fader listening, button not pressed)
and AFL (after-fader listening, button pressed). In PFL mode, the signals of the channels that have been
switched to SOLO are sent pre fader, i.e., the fader position (channel volume) does not influence the solo
signal. In AFL mode, the signals of the channels that have been switched to SOLO are sent post fader plus
panorama control – which, although it is above the channel fader, comes after the fader in terms of circuitry.
In this mode, the position of the channel fader and the panorama control also influences the solo signal.
Note: The SOLO mode selection (PFL/AFL) does not have any affect until at least one channel has been

Now that you have familiarized yourself with the functions of the LAX12DA power mixer, you should have no
trouble using it. Nevertheless, we recommend that you read the following section carefully. It contains important

- Make certain that all external devices such as mics, power amplifiers, speakers, effects processors, etc. are
connected properly.
- When running cables, take care not to injure anyone or damage the equipment.
