5. Betjeningsvejledning

5.1 Kanalkontrol

Each input channel features a set of controls to shape your audio:

• GAIN knap: Adjusts the input sensitivity for the connected microphone or line source. Set this to achieve a healthy signal level without clipping.
• COMP (kompressor)-knap: Available on microphone channels, this single-knob compressor helps to smooth out dynamic peaks and add sustain to vocals or instruments.
• EQ sektion: Each mono channel includes a 3-band equalizer (High, Mid, Low) for tone shaping. Stereo channels typically feature 2-band EQ.
• AUX/FX Send: Controls the amount of signal sent to the internal effects processor or external auxiliary devices.
• PAN/BAL: Justerer stereopositionen for kanalens signal.
• MUTE -knap: Dæmper kanalens output.
• CLIP LED: Illuminates when the channel's signal is too high, indicating potential distortion. Reduce the GAIN if this LED lights up frequently.
• LEVEL-fader: Styrer den samlede lydstyrke for kanalen i hovedmixet.

5.2 Klark Teknik Multi-FX Processor

The integrated Klark Teknik Multi-FX processor offers a wide array of effects to enhance your sound:

1. Brug PROGRAM knob to select a desired effect preset. The display will show the effect number and name.
2. Tryk på PROGRAM knappen for at bekræfte dit valg.
3. Juster PARAMETER knob to fine-tune specific aspects of the selected effect (e.g., decay time for reverb, delay time for echo).
4. Brug FX TIL button to activate or deactivate the effects.
5. Control the overall level of the effects return to the main mix using the FX RTN fader.

5.3 7-bånds stereo grafisk equalizer

The built-in 7-band stereo graphic equalizer allows for precise frequency adjustments to your main mix:

• Each slider corresponds to a specific frequency band. Move the sliders up to boost or down to cut frequencies.
• De FBQ Feedback Detection system will illuminate the sliders corresponding to frequencies causing feedback, allowing you to quickly identify and reduce them.

5.4 USB/Audio Interface

The USB/Audio Interface allows for seamless integration with your computer:

• Connect the mixer to your computer using a standard USB cable.
• The mixer will be recognized as an audio device by your operating system.
• You can use the USB connection for recording the main mix to your computer or for playing back audio from your computer through the mixer.

6. Vedligeholdelse

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your mixer, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Rensning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the mixer. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

• Ingen lydoutput: Verify that all input and output cables are correctly connected. Check channel level faders, main mix faders, and monitor/headphone levels. Ensure any mute buttons are disengaged.
• Forvrænget lyd: Reduce the GAIN knob on input channels if the CLIP LED is frequently lit. Check for proper impedance matching between sources and inputs.
• Feedback: Utilize the FBQ Feedback Detection system to identify and cut problematic frequencies using the 7-band graphic equalizer. Ensure microphones are not pointed directly at speakers.
• Problemer med USB-lyd: Confirm the USB cable is properly connected. Check your computer's audio settings to ensure the mixer is selected as the input/output device.
