Vigtige sikkerhedsinstruktioner
Always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical equipment to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons. Keep these instructions for future reference.
- Brug ikke dette apparat i nærheden af vand.
- Rengør kun med en tør klud.
- Bloker ikke nogen ventilationsåbninger. Installer i overensstemmelse med producentens anvisninger.
- Må ikke installeres i nærheden af varmekilder såsom radiatorer, varmeapparater, komfurer eller andre apparater (inklusive ampløftere), der producerer varme.
- Undgå at omgå sikkerhedsformålet med det polariserede stik eller stik med jordforbindelse. Et polariseret stik har to knive, hvor den ene er bredere end den anden. Et stik med jordforbindelse har to knive og et tredje jordstik. Det brede blad eller det tredje ben er tilvejebragt for din sikkerhed. Hvis det medfølgende stik ikke passer i din stikkontakt, skal du kontakte en elektriker for at få udskiftet den forældede stikkontakt.
- Beskyt netledningen mod at blive trådt på eller klemt, især ved stik, stikkontakter og det sted, hvor de kommer ud af apparatet.
- Brug kun tilbehør/tilbehør specificeret af producenten.
- Træk stikket ud af dette apparat under tordenvejr, eller når det ikke skal bruges i længere perioder.
- Overlad al service til kvalificeret servicepersonale. Service er påkrævet, når apparatet er blevet beskadiget på nogen måde, såsom strømforsyningsledning eller stik er beskadiget, væske er blevet spildt, eller genstande er faldet ind i apparatet, apparatet har været udsat for regn eller fugt, ikke fungerer normalt , eller er blevet droppet.

2. Indgangsforbindelser
The Q1204USB features various input types:
- Mikrofonindgange (kanal 1-4): Use XLR cables to connect microphones. These channels feature XENYX Mic Preamps. Activate +48V phantom power via the rear panel switch for condenser microphones.
- Line Inputs (Channels 1-4): Use 1/4" TRS or TS cables for line-level instruments or devices.
- Stereo linjeindgange (kanal 5/6, 7/8): Use 1/4" TRS or TS cables for stereo line-level sources.
- 2-Track Input: RCA inputs for connecting external playback devices (e.g., CD player, media player).
3. Udgangsforbindelser
- Hovedudgange: XLR outputs for connecting to main PA systems or recording interfaces.
- ALT 3-4 Outputs: 1/4" TS outputs for sending a sub-mix to an external recorder or monitor.
- Control Room Out: 1/4" TS outputs for connecting to studio monitors.
- Telefonudgang: 1/4" TRS stereoudgang til hovedtelefoner.
4. USB Audio Interface Connection
Connect the mixer to your computer using a standard USB cable. The Q1204USB functions as a 2-input/2-output USB audio interface, allowing you to record your main mix or playback audio from your computer through the mixer.

Betjeningsvejledning
1. Channel Controls (Mono Channels 1-4)
- GEVINST: Adjusts the input sensitivity for the microphone or line input. Set this to achieve a healthy signal level without clipping.
- COMP (Compressor): A "one-knob" compressor for dynamic processing. Turn clockwise to increase compression. The LED indicates compression activity.
- EQ (Equalizer):
- HØJ: Justerer diskantfrekvenser.
- MID: Justerer mellemfrekvenser.
- LAV: Justerer basfrekvenser.
- AUX: Sends a portion of the channel signal to the AUX send output, typically used for monitor mixes or external effects.
- PANDE: Positions the channel signal within the stereo field (left to right).
- STUM: Sætter kanalen på lydløs.
- CLIP LED: Illuminates when the input signal is too high, indicating potential distortion. Reduce the GAIN if this LED lights up frequently.
- Kanal fader: Justerer den samlede lydstyrke for kanalen i hovedmixet.

2. Stereokanaler (5/6, 7/8)
These channels offer similar controls but are designed for stereo line-level sources. They typically have fewer EQ bands and no compressor.
3. Main Mix Section
- AUX SENDS: Controls the overall level sent to the AUX output.
- AUX RETURNS: Controls the level of signals returning from external effects processors connected to the AUX return inputs.
- HOVED MIX-FADER: Styrer den samlede udgangsvolumen for hovedstereomixet.
- NIVEAUMETERE: LED-målere viser udgangsniveauet for hovedmixet. Sigt efter niveauer omkring 0 dB for at undgå clipping.
- TELEFON/CTRL RUM: Justerer lydstyrken for hovedtelefon- og kontrolrumsudgangene.
- USB/2-TR TO MAIN: Routes the USB or 2-Track input signal to the main mix.
4. USB Audio Interface Operation
When connected to a computer, the Q1204USB acts as a standard audio interface. No special drivers are typically required for basic operation on most modern operating systems. You can record the main stereo mix to your computer or play back audio from your computer through the mixer's main outputs.
