6. HIGH-PASS FILTER SWITCH
This switch turns on/off a high-pass filter that cuts the
signal below 80Hz at 18dB/octave. By using the highpass filter, you can reduce or get rid of minimizing room
rumble, mic pop-ping noise, traffic noise, wind noise and
other unwanted low-frequency noises.
7. 4 BAND EQ CONTROLS
(HIGH, HI-MID, LOW-MID, LOW)
This is a 4-band equalizer with center frequencies,
range, and type as shown below. The frequency
response is flat when the knob is in the center position.
8 BUS MIXING CONSOLE
1) HIGH: 12kHz, ± 15dB shelving type
LOW: 80Hz, ± 15dB shelving type
2) HI-MID: 800Hz~8kHz (variable),
± 15dB peaking type
3) LOW-MID: 160Hz~1.6kHz (variable), ± 15dB peaking type
8. AUX 1~8 CONTROLS
This knobs control the level of the signals sent to AUX buses.
- The AUX 1 ~ AUX 4 controls are pre-fader, and the signal levels sent to the AUX 1 ~ AUX 4 buses will
be unaffected by the channel fader setting.
- The AUX 5/AUX 7 and AUX 6/AUX 8 controls will be affected by the POST/PRE SELECT SWITCH and
SHIFT 7/8 SIGNAL SELECT SWITCH setting.
9. AUX 5~8 POST/PRE SELECT SWITCH
- Post (
, RELEASED SWITCH):
Selects post-fader signal from the point in the channel after the MUTE OFF. Because signal feeding this
position will be subject to any adjustments to that channels inputs fader, this position is usually preferred for effects or echo mixes.
- Pre (
, DEPRESSED SWITCH):
Pre-Fader signal is taken from the stage preceding the fader EQ, so it is not affected by the channel’s fader.
10. AUX 5~8 SIGNAL SELECT SWITCH (SHIFT)
This SHIFT 7/8 SWITCH connects the two level controls (as a pair) to either AUX 5 & 6 sends or to AUX
7 & 8 sends.
When this switch turns on, the AUX signal will be shifted from AUX 5/AUX 6 to AUX 7/AUX 8.
In this case, you can adjust AUX 7/AUX 8 signal with AUX 5/AUX 6 controls.

11. PAN CONTROL FOR MIX-B
The PAN control routes the channel’s MIX-B signal across
the left and right MIX-B buses.
12. LEVEL CONTROL FOR MIX-B
The LEVEL control sets the level of the channel sent to the
MIX-B buses. The gain structure of the circuit (like the
AUX send 1-6 circuit) includes extra amplification.
13. SPLIT EQ SELECTOR
Each channel strip has a dual signal path with extremely
flexible switching. This allows either the mic/line input or
tape return inputs to be routed through either the channel
fader path or MIX-B with separate EQ and monitoring.
The SPLIT switch in the MIX-B section sprits the EQ section
of the channel when depressed. In the up-position, all
four sections of EQ remain, if engaged, in the primary
channel signal path feeding the channel fader and the 8plus 2 buses. In this mode there is no equalization in the
MIX-B path.
When SPLIT switch is depressed, the HI and LO shelving
sections of the EQ are removed from the channel signal
and inserted into the MIX-B signal path. The HI-MID and
LO-MID parametric sections of the EQ remain, if
engaged, in the channel signal path. The SPLIT function
allows you to EQ the channel’s signal and its MIX-B signal separated.
8 BUS MIXING CONSOLE
14. SOURCE SWITCH
When the MIX-B SOURCE switch is up, MIX-B receives its input from the FLIP switch(5). Remember, the
FLIP switch alternates MIC/LINE or TAPE to channel strip and to MIX-B.
- With TAPE as an input (SOURCE up to select the FLIP switch, and MIC/LINE or TAPE switch in the up
position), the MIX-B section functions as a tape monitor sub-mix, allowing you to listen to the inputs
and outputs of your multi-track recorder as you record. This is the most common use of the MIX-B section, during tracking and overdubbing.
- With MIC/LINE as an input (SOURCE up to select the FLIP switch, and MIC/LINE or TAPE switch in the
down position), MIX-B becomes an additional input to add tracks or effects during a mix-down.
- With CHANNEL as an input (SOURCE down in CHANNEL position), MIX-B taps its signal from the
channel strip, just before the channel fader.
15. PAN CONTROL
This control adjusts the stereo position of the signal between the stereo L/R buses, and also between odd
and even pairs of Buses 1 through 8.
This control allows you to place the channel’s input signal within the stereo image by assigning more or
less of the signal to the left or right sub-master controls.
Turning the Pan control to the left (odd/L) of center moves the apparent source toward the left channel
and Group 1, 3, 5 ,7 buses, turning it to the right moves the source toward the right channel and Group
2, 4, 6, 8 buses.
16. CHANNEL MUTE SWITCH
When this switch is off, the signal of each channel will be sent to the MAIN MIX L/R buses, the Group
1~8 buses and AUX 1~8 buses.
When this switch is on, the output signal to each bus will be muted completely. This switch should be
turned on for unused channels.
The channel’s mute switch does not affect the channel’s insert output, direct output.
17. BUS ASSIGN SWITCH
When these switchs are engaged, the channel’s input signal can be routed to the 8 group busses.
In conjunction with selecting the group routing, the position of the channel’s pan control determines if a
signal is routed to Group 1 or 2, 3 or 4, 5 or 6, Group 7 or 8 and/or Mix L or R. If the pan control is
panned left, it will be routed Group 1, 3, 5,7 and/or Mix L; if the pan control is panned right, the signal
will appear at Group 2, 4, 6, 8 and/or Mix R.
18. CHANNEL FADER
The100-mm audio taper fader controls the output level of the channel that is fed to the Mix master and
Sub Group masters. The channel fader should optimally be set near the “o” level when all other controls
are set to their normals.
19. SOLO SWITCH
The channel SOLO switch assigns the output of the channel PAN control to the stereo solo buses.
SOLO does not interrupt the eight sub-masters, the L/R Mix OUT or the AUX sends, and can be used at
any time without affecting the recording process.
SOLO is handy for spot-checking the presence and quality of individual input while setting up, recording
and mixing. The channel SOLO function is normally post fader/post mute.

4. AUX SEND CONTROLS
This knobs controls the level of the signals sent to Aux buses.
- The AUX 1 & 2 controls on the STEREO channel 1 & 3
PANEL are pre-fader, and the signal levels sent to the
AUX 1 & 2 buses will be unaffected by the channel
fader setting.
- The AUX 3 & 4 controls on the STEREO 2 & 4 PANEL
are post-fader, and the signal levels sent to the AUX 3
& 4 buses will be affected by the channel fader setting.
5. BALANCE CONTROL
This control adjusts the balance or the L/R position of the
stereo input signal.
Turning the BALANCE control to the left of center moves
the apparent source toward the MAIN MIX L and Group
1, 3, 5, 7 buses, turning it ti the right moves the source
toward the MAIN MIX R and Group 2, 4, 6, 8 buses.
6. L/R (STEREO) SWITCH
When this switch is on, the signal of each channel will be
sent to the MAIN MIX L/R buses. When this switch is off,
the output signal to MAIN MIX L/R buses will be muted.
7. GROUP SELECTOR (GROUP BUS ASSIGN SWITCH)
When these switches are on, the signal of each channel
will be sent to the 8 GROUP buses.
These switches is arranged in two columns.
Odd numbered, Left (Group 1, 3, 5, 7) and even numbered, Right (Group 2, 4, 6, 8) indicating which ”side”
of the BALANCE control they will be assigned to.

8 BUS MIXING CONSOLE
8. CHANNEL MUTE SWITCH
When this switch is engaged, the signal of each stereo channel will be muted in the MAIN MIX L/R buses, the Group1~8 buses and AUX 3~4 buses.
The channel MUTE switch does not affect the pre-position of the AUX 1 & 2 signal on the STEREO 1, 3
PANEL, but, it affect the post-position of the AUX3 & 4 signal on the STEREO 2, 4 PANEL.
9. CHANNEL SOLO SWITCH
The channel SOLO switch assigns the output of the channel PAN control to the stereo solo buses.
10. CHANNEL FADER
This fader controls the output level of the input channel signal, determining the volume balance between
channels. The channel fader should be lowered for unused channels.
PAD SWITCH (STEREO INPUT SENSITIVITY SELECT)
If you select STEREO INPUT SENSITIVITY to either -10dB or +4dB.
Look at the STEREO INPUT PC Board. The PAD SWITCH is setted -10dB position initially on STEREO
INPUT PC Board.
This switch selects the appropriate gain for the input signal level.
The sensitivity is -10dB when the switch is slided toward left hand side, and +4dB when it is slided
toward right hand side.

1. BALANCED LOW-Z MIC INPUT CONNECTORS
A 3-pin XLR-type (“Cannon”) connector is used for balanced low impedance microphone inputs.
(1: sleeve, 2: hot, 3: cold)
Microphones of 50-600Ω line level devices can be connected here.
When the PHANTOM switch is turned on, DC +48V will be supplied to pins 2 and 3 of these connectors.
It is important that, during operation or testing of the mixer, all channel faders remain fully down whenever the mic input is not properly terminated with a microphone or equivalent 150-ohm source.
An open mic invites the introduction of high noise levels which could produce lower quality sound or an
incorrect test measurement.

1. 4 STEREO INPUT JACKS
These are unbalanced 1/4” phone jacks which input a stereo source with a nominal input and impedance of +4dB -10dB/600Ω.
If a plug is inserted only in L/MONO, the same signal will be sent to both the L and R buses.
2. 6 AUX RETURN JACKS
These are unbalanced 1/4” phone jacks with a nominal level and impedance of +4dB/10kΩ.
These jacks are usually used to receive the audio returned from an effect unit such as reverb or delay,
but they can also be used as supplementary inputs.
If a plug is inserted only in L/MONO, the same signal will be sent to both the L and R buses.
These allow you to return signal from outboard devices, either in stereo pairs or mono phonically (many
popular effects processors provide a single mono input but have a pair of stereo outputs).
In practice, you’ll probably want to use the Auxiliary returns to bring in signal from connected effects
processors. If the effects processors have stereo outputs, they should be connected to both the left and
right Auxiliary return inputs so that their stereo integrity is retained. If they have mono outputs, you can
route them to either the left or right inputs and then use the Auxiliary return Balance control to adjust the
relative level of each paired signal.
3. 8 AUX SEND JACKS
These are unbalanced 1/4” phone jacks with a nominal output and impedance of +4dB/600Ω.
The AUX SEND output signal is the sum of all of the input channel AUX SENDS.
4. 8 GROUP OUTPUT JACKS
These connectors deliver the main GROUP output signal to the power amplifiers which will drive the
main house speakers in a sound reinforcement system.
These are electronically balanced outputs with a rated level/impedance of +4dB/600Ω. Each group
output connector is connected another 2 jacks, parallelly.

record.
10. EXTERNAL INPUT CONNECTOR
The EXTERNAL INPUT jacks are 1/4” TRS unbalanced, with tip high, and ring and sleeve tied together
to ground. These inputs offer you the ability to listen to two mono or stereo sources directly, without
patching through input channels.
11. MIX OUT CONNECTOR
These connectors transmit the MIX L/R outputs to the power amplifiers and/or the processing gear.
These XLR type outputs have a rated level of +4dB and impedance of 600 ohms.
12. MONO OUTPUT CONNECTOR
These XLR type outputs have a rated level of +4dB and impedance of 600 ohms.
The MONO OUT can be used for simple recording of a live performance, for driving a sub power
amplifier, or to check for phase cancellation.

Initial Wiring Considerations
- For optimum performance, it is essential for the earthing system to be clean and noise free, as all signal
are referenced to this earth. A central point should be decided on for the main earth point system, and all
earths should be ‘star fed’ from this point. It is common electrical practice to ‘daisy chain’ the earths to all
electrical outlets but this method is unsuitable for audio installations. The preferred method is to run an
individual earth wire from each outlet, back to the system star point to provide a safety earth screen reference for each piece of equipment.
A separate earth wire should also be run from each equipment rack and area, to the star point. This may
or may not be used depending on circumstances, but it is easier to install in the first place, than later when
problems arise.
The location of the star point should be convenient, easily accessible place preferably at the chassis of the
console, or in the main equipment rack.
- Install separate ‘clean’ and ‘dirty’ mains outlets, wired individually back to the incoming mains distribution
box. Use the ‘clean’ supply for all audio equipment and the ‘dirty’ supply for all lighting, vending
machines etc. Never mix the two systems.
- If necessary, to provide sufficient isolation from mains borne interference, install an isolating transformer.
This should be provided with a Faraday Shield which must be connected with earth.
- Never locate the incoming mains distribution box near audio equipment, especially tape recorders, which
are very sensitive to electro-magnetic fields.
- Ensure that all equipment racks are connected to earth, via a separate wire back to the star point.
- Equipment which has unbalanced inputs and outputs may need to be isolated from the rack to prevent
earth loops.

Shielding
Audio equipment is supplied with a variety of input and output configurations, which must be taken into
consideration when deciding where the screen connections should be made. There are three sources of
unwanted signal being impressed on the screen, which are as follows;
- Extraneous electrostatic or electromagnetic fields.
- Noise and interference on the earth line.
- Capacitive coupling between the screen and signal wires.
To minimize the adverse affects of the unwanted coupling to the signal wires, it is important that the screen
is connected at one end only, i.e. the screen must not carry any signal current. Any signal on the wires within the screen will be capacitively coupled to the screen. This current will ultimately be returned to the source
of the signal, either directly, if the screen is connected at the signal source end, or indirectly via the earthing
system, if the signal is connected at the signal destination end. The indirect connection will cause an
increase in high frequency cross-talk, and should be avoided wherever possible.
Therefore, in general, always connect the shield only at the signal source end. in high RF areas, the screen
can also be connected to earth via a 0.01µF capacitor. This will present a short circuit at RF frequencies,
thus lowering effective shield impedance to ground. However, at low audio frequencies the reactance of the
capacitor will be sufficiently high not to cause an earth loop problem.

Points to Remember
- In all cases, use good quality twin screened audio cable. Check for instability at the output.
- Always connect both conductors at both ends, and ensure that the screen is only connected at one end.
- Do not disconnect the mains earth from each piece of equipment. This is needed to provided both safety
and screen returns to the system star point.
- Equipment which has balanced inputs and outputs may need to be electrically isolated from the equipment
rack and/or other equipment, to avoid earth loops.
It is important to remember that all equipment which is connected to the mains it a potential source of hum
and interference and may radiate both electrostatic or electromagnetic radiation. In addition, the mains will
also act as a carrier for many forms of RF interference generated by electric motors, air-conditioning units,
thyristor light dimmers etc. Unless the earth system is clean, all attempts to improve hum noise levels will be
futile. In extreme cases there will be no alternative but to provide a completely separate and independent
‘technical earth’ to replace the incoming ‘noisy earth’.
However, always consult your local electricity supply authority to ensure that safety regulations are not
being infringed.

Grounding on the Road
Many of the above procedures are difficult to use on the road. For example, the telescoping shield concept
is nearly impossible to use on a portable cable. Similarly, it is a difficult and time consuming process to
search for a water pipe ground every time the system is moved from one performance to another. Yet
portable systems can be extremely complex, and may have major grounding problems. The telescoping
shield concept can be extended to portable systems by installing a ”ground lift switch” on the output of each
device, and on the inputs of devices after the mixer. Since microphones are not grounded except through
the mixer, there is on need for an input ground lift switch on most mixers. The diagram below shows a typical ground lift switch installation. By judicious use of these switches, each piece of equipment can be AC
grounded for safety without causing ground loops.
Because of leakage currents from equipment in the audio system, and in the house, some noise currents can
ride on the AC ground wire and are able to enter the audio system. This problem is usually most noticeable
with sensitive equipment such as the mixer.Lifting the AC ground at the mixer can often solve this problem.
However, lifting the AC ground on the mixer also lifts the AC ground on the microphone chassis, causing a
safety hazard. Try connecting the mixer and any other sensitive equipment to other AC circuits. The only
other apparent solution to this problem is to eliminate the noise on the AC ground, which is not an easy
task. Since it has its own ground, a portable AC power distribution system connected to the house service
entrance may be the most effective way to avoid all AC noises. Such a system can be designed and constructed by a qualified electrician; check local electrical codes before each use.

Perhaps the best answer to portable system grounding problems, PFI, EMI, and AC noise, is to develop a
versatile grounding scheme. Ground lift switches and adapters, and a portable AC power distribution system allow different grounding techniques to be tried easily and quickly when a problem occurs.

Applications Examples
1. PA and Sound Reinforcement
From a features standpoint, 8 Bus Series consoles are easy to configure for public address and sound
reinforcement applications, whether you are mixing the house, stage monitors or both at once. Use the
L/R main mix buses and your main L/R outputs as your main signal path.
If you want a headphone cue mix, either patch the Control Room outputs to a suitable headphone amplifier
or select MONITOR as the source for phones.
This will allow you to listen to any source you can select for the CONTROL ROOM.
You can also use the solo buses as headphone cue. If you prefer, you can modify the solo circuits for PFL (pre
fader listen).
You should normally use the L/R Mix buses as your Main or House feed. Patch out from the L/R outputs into
the input to your amp stack (usually your House graphic equalizer). Any of the AUX buses can be used to
feed a stage monitor mix.
Set the AUX sends in each channel to PRE and patch the AUX send outputs to the appropriate amplifiers.
If you need to provide a simultaneous mix for a stereo recording, use the MIX-B buses.
- FOLLOW THIS SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE FOR EACH CHANNEL IN USE
1) Assign signal to channel fader:
If channel will be used with a microphone, MIC/LINE switch should be up & MIC/LINE, TAPE switch
should be up.
If channel will be used with line input, MIC/LINE switch should be down & MIC/LINE, TAPE switch
should be up.
2) Set channel strip controls as follows:
TRIM pot all the way counterclockwise
AUX SEND controls all the way counterclockwise
LOW-CUT switch either on or off (on recommended for mic inputs)
Channel fader at UNITY
PAN pot hard left or right
SOLO switch on (for monitoring)
3) The channel’s -10dB Led should light. The L/R main meters will show the actual internal operating level. Now you will optimize levels.
4) Adjust the TRIM control clockwise to get peaks that regularly hit 0dB on the L/R meters.
5) If you use EQ, adjust the TRIM control after EQ controls set up.
6) Repeat Steps 1-4 on the next channel that is being used.

2. Recording System
The recording process can be as simple as one microphone recorded on a monaural tape record.
As in the PA sound reinforcement system shown previously, balanced microphones are plugged directly
into the channel XLR input connectors, while unbalanced electronic instrument outputs (synthesizers,etc.)
are connected via a balancing transformer type direct box. Compressors are connected at the insert
jacks of the vocal mic channels, the AUX SENDS and RETURN connectors are connected to a high-quality stereo plate reverb unit. The PHONES OUT connectors feed separate headphone amplifiers providing
two different headphone cue mixes for the performers. The CONTROL ROOM OUT and STUDIO OUT
connectors feed the monitor system, and the GROUP OUT & TAPE IN connectors feed the 4-channel
multi-track recorder.
- FOLLOW THIS SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE FOR EACH CHANNEL IN USE
1) Assign signal to channel fader:
If channel will be used with a microphone, MIC/LINE switch should be up & MIC/LINE, TAPE switch
should be up.
If channel will be used with line input, MIC/LINE switch should be down & MIC/LINE, TAPE switch
should be up.
If channel will be used with a tape input, MIC/LINE or TAPE switch should be down.
2) Set channel strip controls as follows:
TRIM pot all the way counterclockwise
AUX SEND controls all the way counterclockwise
LOW-CUT switch either on or off (on recommended for mic inputs)
Channel fader at UNITY
PAN pot hard left or right
SOLO switch on (for monitoring)
3) If the channel is being used for a tape input during mix-down, roll and already-recorded track from
your recorder.
4) The channel’s -10dB Led should light. The L/R main meters will show the actual internal operating level.
Now you will optimize levels.
5) Adjust the TRIM control clockwise to get peaks that regularly hit 0dB on the L/R meters.
6) If you use EQ, adjust the TRIM control after EQ controls set up.
7) Repeat Steps 1-5 on the next channel that is being used.
