Dostosuj POZIOM 1 I POZIOM 2 knobs to set the input gain for each channel. Monitor the 'SIG' (signal) and 'PEAK' (overload) indicator lights. The 'SIG' light should illuminate green during normal operation, and the 'PEAK' light (red) should only flash occasionally. If 'PEAK' stays red, reduce the input level to prevent distortion.

3.2 Zasilanie fantomowe (+48 V)

3.3 Hi-Z Input

Naciśnij HI-Z button when connecting high-impedance instruments like electric guitars or basses directly to the mixer for proper signal matching.

3.4 Recording Mode Selection (REC)

Ten REK button allows you to select the audio source for computer recording:

• Button Down (MIC+PC): Records a mixed signal of the microphone/instrument inputs and the audio playback from your connected computer.

3.5 Stereo/Mono Channel Switching (ST PAN)

Ten ST PAN buttons (1L and 2R) control the stereo panning or mono summing of the input channels:

• Buttons Up: Channels 1 and 2 are treated as separate mono inputs, panned left and right respectively.
• Buttons Down: Channels 1 and 2 are summed to a mono signal. This is useful when using a single microphone and wanting the sound to be present in both left and right channels of the output.
