5.1 Oper ation with a computer
Note:
When op erating the m ixer with a computer, either
use the a udio software supplied w ith the
operatin g system or a n audio soft ware installe d
additiona lly.
Various programs for audio r eprod uction /
recordin g are availab le on the Inte rnet free of
charge.
1) Start t he computer. Connect the USB port (5 ) to
a USB connection on the compu ter via the USB
cable provided. Sw itch on the m ixer with the
switch POWER (8) [position ON ]. The L ED
ON/CH ARGE (6) lights up according to the
battery charge status (chapter 5.3).
The computer rec ognizes the USB interfa ce
of the mixer as an external devi ce for audio
input and audio ou tput, e. g. as USB Ear-
Microphone , depending on th e operating
sy stem. T herequir ed drivers (standard drive rs
of the operating system) are available on th e
Comp uter.
If not all driv ers required are available
on the computer, in stall them, e. g. via the
original CD of the o perating system. Restar t
the co mputer after installation, if necessary.
2) Open t he reproduction / record ing progr am and
make the required settings for audio reprod uc-
tion via the mixer o r audio recording from the
mixer ( user manu al of the prog ram). T hen
opera te the mixer a ccording to chapter 6.
If it is no t possible to record or re pr oduce any
sound, m ake sure to a ctivate the U SB interfac e
for audio input or aud io output in thesystem
settings o f the operat ing system of thecompute r.
If th e mixer is co nnected to a computer a nd
to any un its earthed v ia their mains cables (e. g .
amplifier s), there may be hum noi se due to
ground lo ops. To eli minate this no ise, connect the
mixer to t he correspo nding unit vi a a ground
isolator
Hint:
If the unit is to be put o ut of operation defi-
niitively ,ta ke it to a loc al recycling p lant
for a dispo sal whic h is n ot harmful to the
environme nt
5.2 Operat ion with power su pply u nit
5.3 C harging the battery / Battery
operation
Via its US B connection, the power supply unit
must pr ov ide an outpu t voltage of 5 V and an
output cu rrent of 500mA. Connect the power
supply un it to the USB port (5) via t he USB cable
provided, then connect it to a mains socket.
Switch on the mixer w i th the switch POWER (8)
[position ON ]. The LED
ON / CHARGE (6) ligh ts up according to the
battery charge status (chapter 5.3).
To ensure the maximu m operating time (approx .
4 hours) when the mixer is operate d via the
integrated rechargeab le lithium-io n battery, fully
charge th e battery prior to operatio n. Connect t he
USB por t (5) to a comp uter (chapte r 5.1) or to a
power sup ply unit (cha pter 5.2). Th e LED ON /
CHARGE (6) shows th e charge sta tus and
operating mode:
1. With th e mixer switc hed off [swit ch POWER ( 8)
set to OFF ], the LED ON / CHARGE show s
green while the batt ery i s being charged. When
the bat tery has been fully charge d, the LED i s
extingu ished.
2. With th e mixer switc hed on [switch POWER s et
to ON ], the LED ON / CHARGE shows re d
and gre en (= yellow ) at the sam e time while
the battery is being charged. When the batte ry
has be en fully char ged, the LED shows red.
To save b attery power, the LED ON / CHARGE
doesnot li ght up during battery operation.
Therefore , you may ea sily forget to switch off th e
mixer. To prevent the b attery from being
complete ly discharged , always ma ke sure to se t
the switch POWER to OFF after operation.

6 Operation
1) Switch on t he mixer with the switch P OWER (8)
[position ON ].
2) For basic s etting, set th e controls MASTER
(14) and GA IN (15) approximately to mid-
position for the time being.
3) When a microphone is c onnected to the jack
MIC IN ( 1), speak into th e microphon e and
turn up the correspondin g control LE VEL (17)
until you ob tain a good microphone s ignal. If
you need to turn up the c ontrol LEVE L
completely for this purpose, further turn up the
control GA IN (15). How ever, if the LED PK (19)
lights up and is not extin guished imm ediately,
turn back th e control GA IN. The LED PK must
only briefly l ight up with level peaks.
7) Use the con trols LEVEL (17, 21) to m ix the
input signals of channels CH 1 and C H 2 or to
fade them in and out. Wh en a chann e l is not
used, set its control to 0 .
8) Use the con trol MASTE R (14) to set the level
of the outp ut signal that is sent via th e jacks
MAIN OUT (7), TAPE OUT (4) and th e USB
port (5). If o ne of the ov erload LEDs CLIP (13)
shows red, turn back the control MASTER
Accordingly
\4) Use the pa norama con trol PAN (18) to place
the microp hone signal on the stereo base.
Adjust the sound with t he controls H I and LO
(16).
5) Turn up the control LEVEL (21) for c hannel CH
2 until you obtain a good input signa l.
To assign the input signal of the USB port (5)
to channel C H 2, press the button USB
ASSIGN TO CH 2 (23). When the but ton is
engaged, th e USB input signal and the signal
of the input L INE IN (2) u se the s ame channel.
Therefore, do not use th e input LINE IN if you
intend to r e produce only the USB inp ut signal
Via channel CH 2.
When recording v ia the USB po rt, pl ease
pay attention to the risk of feedback if you
assign the re cording signal of the computer to
channel CH 2 as an inpu t signal.
6) For channe l CH 2, adjus t the sound with the
controls HI and LO (20) and the balan ce with
the control BAL (22).
Note:
9) The head phone outpu t MONITOR / PHONES
(9) allows to monitor the output signal of the mixer.
For this pur pose, the but ton TAPE IN ASSIGN TO
MONITOR ( 12) must not be engaged . Adjust the
headphone volume with the control M ONITOR /
PHONES (10).
10) When a unit is conn ec ted to the j acks TAPE
IN (3), it is p ossible to mo nitor the out put signal of
this unit:
1. If the butt on TAPE IN A SSIGN TO MAIN (11) is
engaged: via the outputs MAIN OUT (7), TAPE
OUT (4), USB (5) and M ONITOR / PHONES (9)
. The outp ut signal of th e mixer is also present at
these jacks. Therefore, set the two controls
LEVEL (1 7, 21) to 0 if necessar y.
2. If the butt on TAPE IN A SSIGN TO MO NITOR
(12) is eng aged: only v ia the headphone output
MONITOR / PHONES . In this case, it is not
possible t o monitor th e output signal of the
Mixer via the headpho ne output.
WARNI NG! Never adjust the headph ones to a
very high vo lume. Permanent high vo lumes may
damage you r hearing! Your ear will get
accustomed to high v olumes whi ch d o not seem
to be that hig h after some time. There fore, do not
further increase a high v olume after getting used
to it.
