Set the Levels

1. Push in the "SOLO MODE" button (61) to set the meters as "PFL" pre fader listening. 2. Push in the channels SOLO switch (13). 3. While play something into the selected input, this could be an instrument a singing or speaking voice or putting in some signal from a CD player, set the GAIN control (3) so that the leds on the meter stay around "0" and never go higher than "+6 dB", never the PEAK led of the channel must light on also. 4. If you would like to apply some EQ do so now and return to step 3. 5. Release the channels SOLO (13) switch. 6. Repeat these operation for each channel.

Missaggio

1. Collegare tutti gli strumenti e impostare i livelli come sopra. 2. Rilasciare il tasto "SOLO MODE" (61) per impostare gli indicatori di livello come ascolto post-fader "AFL", 3. Premere il tasto MIX (43) per visualizzare sugli indicatori di livello il segnale in uscita. 4. Impostare il FADER (15) del canale di ingresso nella posizione a "0" dB. 5. Mentre suonano tutti assieme impostare il livello del MAIN MIX a un livello confortevole, tipicamente tra "0" dB o lievemente sotto a "-5 dB" per lasciare pi dinamica all'ingresso dell'amplificatore, quindi aggiustare ogni FADER di canale per ottenere il vostro mix personale.

Mixing

1. Connect all the instruments and set the levels as described above. 2. Push out the "SOLO MODE" button (61) to set the meters as "AFL" after fader listening. 3. Push in the MIX button (43) to show the output level on the meters. 4. Set the FADER (15) of the input channels at "0" dB position. 5. While playing all toghether set the MAIN MIX level to a confortable listening level, usually between "0" or a little bit down to "-5 dB" to leave more dynamic at the amplifier input, then adjust each channel FADER to obtain your own mix.

Other Nuggets

For optimum sonic performance the channel and main mix FADERS should be set usually near the "0" marking. Be sure that the volume of the input sources are the same as it would be during the sound check. If it isnt, you might have to readjust these levels during the middle of the gig, to do this use the PFL and SOLO functions and GAIN controls, in any case avoid always the PEAK led lights, only occasionally flashing is accettable with high dynamic signals. Always turn down MAIN MIX fader and C.ROOM knob before making connections. When you shut down your equipment, turn off the amplifier first. When powering up, turn on the amplifier last. Never listen to loud music for prolonged periods.

11. PAN control

It adjusts the amount of channel signal sent to the left versus the right outputs. Use it to positionate the signal in a panoramic stereo scene.
11. PAN (controllo panoramico)
Regola la quantit del segnale da inviare alle uscite sinistra o destra. Da usarsi per posizionare il segnale in una scena panoramica stereo.
12. PEAK detector and SOLO active
This LED has two function: If the PEAK LED lights permanently this means that you have activated the SOLO switch of this channel. If the PEAK LED flashes this means that the input signal is near to the CLIPPING point. IMPORTANT: if the LED PEAK flashes reduce the level of the input signal using the GAIN control.
12. PEAK (rilevatore di picco e SOLO attivo)
Questo LED ha due funzioni: Se il led PEAK acceso sempre significa che stato attivato il tasto SOLO di questo canale. Se il led PEAK lampeggia significa che il segnale di ingresso e prossimo alla distorsione. IMPORTANTE: se il led PEAK lampeggia ridurre il livello del segnale di ingresso usando il controllo del guadagno (GAIN).

13. SOLO switch

This switch allows you to hear signals through your headphones or control room outputs and to show the level on led meters. Use the solo in live work to preview channels before they are let into the mix, or just to check out what a particular channel is up to anytime during a session. You can solo as many channels at a time as you like. IMPORTANT: The solo signal is pre-fader if SOLO MODE is in PFL position, so you can hear it even when the channels fader is turned down. The solo signal is post-fader if SOLO MODE is in AFL position, so you can hear it only when the channels fader is turned up and the MUTE/ALT3-4 is not pressed.
13. SOLO (tasto attivazione preascolto)
Questo tasto rende possibile il preascolto dei segnali dei canali alle cuffie e all'uscita C.ROOM e la visualizzazione del livello sui led meter. Usare il SOLO durante un'esibizione dal vivo per visionare i segnali prima del missaggio o anche per controllare se un canale a posto durante il concerto. Premendo pi tasti SOLO si possono controllare anche pi canali simultaneamente. IMPORTANTE: il segnale SOLO pre-fader se SOLO MODE in posizione PFL, cosicch possibile ascoltarlo anche quando il fader di canale al minimo. Il segnale SOLO post-fader se SOLO MODE in posizione AFL, cosicch possibile ascoltarlo solo quando il fader di canale alzato e il tasto MUTE/ALT3-4 non premuto.
MONO CHANNEL STRIP STRIP CANALE MONO 14. MUTE/ALT 3-4 switch
The dual-purpose MUTE/ALT 3-4 switch serves two functions: muting, and signal routing where it acts as an extra stereo bus. To use this as a MUTE switch, all you have to do is not use the ALT 3-4 outputs. Then, whenever you assign a channel to these unused outputs, youll also be disconnecting it from the MAIN MIX and the CONTROL ROOM/PHONES dis-engaging ALT 3-4 switch (55) and (44), effectively muting the channel. To use this as an alternate mix, switch in ALT 3-4 and all you have to do is connect the ALT 3-4 outputs to whatever destination you desire. When doing live sound or mixdown, its often handy to control the level of several channels with one knob. Thats called subgrouping. Simply assign these channels to the ALT 3-4 mix, engage ALT 3-4 switch (44) in the CONTROL ROOM/PHONES section, and the signals will appear at the CONTROL ROOM and PHONES outputs. If you want the ALT 3-4 signals to go back into the MAIN MIX, engage the ALT 3-4 switch (55), in both of these examples the ALT3-4 fader (56) controls the level of your sub-group.

Connect these to the inputs of your power amplifier, powered speaker or processors (equalizers, multiband compressors and so on). These outputs have the same signal of the jack connectors in the front panel (59).

Set-up the M8USB for playback from PC
With the MAIN MIX (58) fader raised up, while playing something from PC simply turn the 2 TRK IN (41) control and you can hear the audio signal on MAIN MIX outputs, or push in 2 TRK (45) switch and raise up C.ROOM/PHONES (46) level control to hear the audio signal on phones and C.ROOM output.
Impostare l'M8USB per la riproduzione dal PC
Con il fader MAIN MIX (58) alzato, mentre si suona qualcosa dal PC, semplicemente ruotare il controllo 2 TRK IN (41) e sar possibile sentire il segnale audio sull'uscita MAIN MIX, o premendo il tasto 2 TRK (45) e alzando il controllo di livello C.ROOM/PHONES (46) ascoltarlo sulle cuffie e le uscite C.ROOM.
Set-up the M8USB for recording to PC
While playing something into one mixer channel, put in recording your PC software then adjust the MAIN MIX (58) fader level to accomodate an appropriate recording signal, if you PC has a level meter it must never gone in red (0 dBFs) position to avoid any digital clip distortion.
Impostare l'M8USB per la registrazione sul PC
Mentre si suona qualcosa in un canale del mixer, mettere in registrazione il proprio software sul PC quindi regolare il livello del fader MAIN MIX (58) per ottenere un appropriato segnale di registrazione, se il PC ha un misuratore di livello esso non deve mai andare sulla posizione rossa (0 dBFs) per evitare ogni distorsione da clip digitale.
USB INTERFACE INTERFACCIA USB Set-up the M8USB for recording and monitoring yourself when using a DAW software
1. Turn down the MAIN MIX (58) fader level, and C.ROOM/PHONES (46) knob. 2. In your DAW software make sure to set record tracks WITHOUT MONITORING during playback/recording (the method depends by your DAW software). 3. Make sure that the 2 TRK (45) to C.ROOM/PHONES button is DOWN, the MIX (43) to C.ROOM/PHONES button is DOWN, and the 2 TRK IN (41) to MIX knob is turned down AT MINIMUM, otherwise youll hear feedback when you turn up the MAIN MIX fader later. 4. Set each recording channels GAIN (3)(18) knobs and LEVEL (15)(29) fader so that youre getting good level without lighting the PEAK indicator on the mixer. 5. The MAIN MIX (58) fader now acts like a master volume knob for all your mic/line inputs. Adjust this knob until youre getting good levels into your PC recording DAW software. 6. The C.ROOM/PHONES (46) knob now controls the level of your headphones (or studio monitors), but does not affect recording levels in your PC. You can set this level to a comfortable setting (or even off ) without affecting what gets recorded.

Bad Output

Is the associated level control (if any) turned up? If it's of the MAIN MIX outputs, try unplugging all the others. For example, if it's the (6.3mm jack connector) LEFT MAIN MIX output, unplug the RCA LEFT 2TRK OUT. If the problem goes away, it's not the mixer, check the RCA cable. If it's a stereo pair, try switching them around. For example, if a left output is presumed dead, switch the left and right cords at the mixer end. If the problem stays on the left side, it's not the mixer, check the cable.
Assenza di segnale in uscita
stato incrementato il controllo di livello associato? Se l'uscita MAIN MIX assente, provare a disinserire tutte le altre. Per esempio, se inserito un cavo jack nell'uscita LEFT MAIN MIX, sconnettere l'uscita RCA LEFT 2TRK OUT. Se il probema scompare, non il mixer, controllare il cavo RCA. Se si dispone di una coppia di canali stereo, provare ad invertirli. Per esempio, se l'uscita sinistra presumibilmente non funzionante, invertire gli spinotti sinistro e destro sul mixer. Se il problema rimane sul lato sinistro, non il mixer, controllare il cavo.

Bad Sound

Is the input connector plugged completely into the jack? Is it loud and distorted? Make sure the input GAIN control for the input is set correctly. Reduce the signal level on the input source if possible.

Noise / Hum

Turn down each channel, one by one. If the noise disappears, it's coming from whatever is plugged into that channel. Check the signal cables between the input sources and the mixer. Disconnect them one by one. When the noise goes away you'll know which input source is causing the problem. Sometimes it helps to plug all audio equipment into the same AC circuit so they share a common ground. If the Hum appears only when the USB is connected to a NOTEBOOK computer and the power supply unit of the NOTEBOOK computer is in CLASS 1, try to replace the power supply unit with one in CLASS 2 or use it disconnecting from the mains line and supplying it with internal batteries.

Suono Distorto

il connettore di ingresso completamente inserito nella presa jack? un suono forte e distorto? Assicurarsi che il controllo di GAIN per quell'ingresso impostato correttamente. Ridurre il livello di segnale della sorgente se possibile.
