How to use

Connect a microphone to the XLR input and enable 48 V phantom power if using a condenser microphone. Use the USB Type‑B port to connect the mixer to a computer for digital audio streaming or recording at 24 bit/48 kHz. Route digital output via the optical port when connecting to external digital devices, or use the AUX in/out for analogue sources and monitoring. Adjust the four‑band EQ to shape vocal tone, monitor through the 3.5 mm headphone jack and use the backlit controls to operate in dim environments. Always switch the device off before connecting or disconnecting cables to avoid potential signal or power issues.

Recommendations

For best results, set input gain to avoid clipping while keeping clear headroom; enable phantom power only when required by the microphone; use the optical out for lossless digital connections; and place the unit on a stable surface to reduce handling noise. Follow safety guidance and power the device down before making cable changes.
