QUICK SETUP DIAGRAM  
Study this setup diagram. Make sure all faders are at "zero" and all devices are off. First, connect all input sources and processors. Next, connect your  
microphone and monitor headphones. Finally, connect the stereo outputs to the power amplifier(s) and/or audio receivers. Additionally, you can connect  
the REC output to any recording device such as a CD or DVD recorder. Plug your mixer into AC power. Now you are ready to switch everything on.  
IMPORTANT: Always switch on your audio input sources such as turntables or CD players first, then your mixer, and finally any amplifiers. When turning  
off, always reverse this operation by turning off amplifiers, then your mixer, and then input devices.
