Doing so may cause oscillation depending on the condition of the connected unit and speakers, and may also damage the speakers. The performance of components on this mixer such as switches, rotary controls, faders, and connectors, deteriorates over time. The rate depends on the operating environment and is sometimes unavoidable. Consult your dealer about replacing defective components. Multi-Channel Mixers Installation Install the mixer on an even surface to allow for sufficient airflow and ventilation during use. The device is equipped with electronically controlled cooling fans to protect against thermal overload and internal circuitry from damage due to extreme heat. Please avoid covering any sides of the unit or placing objects or other audio devices too close to your mixer. Prior to connecting and powering on the unit, make sure that the device matches the voltage and frequency of your power supply. Power off the mixer when not in use. Cables and Connections RCA 1/4'' TRS and Mono XLR 3-Pin
'phono',
'plugs' or jacks RCA connector jacks have been most commonly used in home audio systems and configurations for years. Also known
'audio as RCA connectors' , these are always unbalanced, and generally carry a line-
level signal at 10 dB, nominal signal levels. The RCA connector jacks are most likely used when connecting an audio device like a media player or other home audio type source to your mixer. These connector jacks are also used when connecting to the output of your devices. 1/4'' mono and stereo connector jacks are labeled for use as unbalanced mono, unbalanced stereo, balanced mono, or as an insert patch point. A 1/4'' TRS (Tip, Ring, Sleeve), 3-conductor connection, or
'Stereo' cable allows a single connection signal to carry 2-channels of audio; also can be used for mono balanced signals. While, a 1/4'' TS (Tip, Sleeve), 2-conductor, or 'Mono' cable are most popularly known for their use line-level instrument connection; they can also be used for mono unbalanced signals. in guitar or XLR connector jacks, almost always carries a balanced signal. Depending on your device, these connector jacks may also be capable of handling unbalanced signals. Microphones generally have this type of connector, as well as most other professional audio equipment and devices. Typical 3-Pin XLR sockets are fixed with the right-most pin being the 'ground', the left-
most pin being 'hot' and the bottom pin as the 'neutral'. Technical Specifications Mono Inputs Microphone Inputs (XENYX Mic Preamp) Mic E.I.N. (20Hz - 20kHz)

(Elite Mixer Series Models: Elite I, EliteII, EliteIII, EliteIV, EliteV 1. 2. 3-PIN LOW IMPEDANCE MIC INPUT 1/4'' LINE INPUT Electronically balanced XLR input is designed to accept signals from any balanced or unbalanced low impedance (Low Z) microphone. (Pin 1 to the shield, Pin 2 to the 'hot' (positive polarity) side of the audio signal, and Pin 3 to the 'cold' side of the signal. Dynamic or ribbon-type microphones do not require phantom power. Microphone inputs are generally more sensitive than the Line inputs. Line/High impedance input, 1/4 connector jack is designed to accept balanced or unbalanced line-level signals such as those from keyboards, drum machines, or samplers. There is enough gain available on the line input to accept even lower level signals, such as those from an unbalanced microphone or guitar output. If a balanced signal is to be connected to the line input, then a 1/4 TRS (stereo) phone plug should be wired for: Tip =
positive (+), Ring = negative (-), Sleeve = ground. Multi-Channel Mixers GAIN CONTROL EQ CONTROL - INDEPEDANT CHANNEL Adjust the volume for the selected channel's signal. It send the signal to the master mix buss, please remember this function allows the unit to act as a pre-amp (...so if you are using a device that has its own unique volume control, you will need to perform some volume adjustment and level matching. Optimal sound performance is achieved when audio distortion is at a minimum. Independent channel selection allows equalization effect controls for the input signal. This gives you the ability to adjust the overall tone of the selected input. It acts as a cut or boost control, that adds to or diminishes the sound quality - 60Hz - 10kHz (+/- 15dB). EFFECT CONTROL - INDEPEDANT CHANNEL Also known as EFFX controls, this is a 'send' control to the reverb buss. It controls the amount of reverberation added to the selected destination channel input signal. LCD DISPLAY - USB/SD CONTROL EFFECTS CONTROLLERS Use the digital LCD control panel and touch button to control your connected flash memory drive. Take music from your computer's media library, transfer it to your removable memory storage device and let it play through the mixer. Supports MP3 and WMA music formats. Take control of the Effects Volume, Effects Echo and Effects Delay. Control the overall signal level of the effects 'mix' that is received. Delay and Echo controls allow you to variably adjust the effect interval time. Set this control lower for shorter Echo times to emulate similar 'doubling' effects while setting a higher level provides longer effect times for 'stadium-like' delay sound. USB/SD VOLUME CONTROL Adjust the volume for connected media streaming via USB Flash Memory or SD Memory Cards MASTER VOLUME CONTROL Adjust the volume for the entire mixer and connected devices playing through the mixer. MASTER GRAPHIC EQUALIZER CONTROL
(Low - Low/Mid - Mid - Mid/High - High), these master EQ controls allow you to adjust the levels of signal frequencies. 5-Band frequency. graphic EQ faders put you in control and allow you to achieve optimal sound performance. Adjust the faders accordingly with different acoustic and environmental conditions. POWER LED This LED will illuminate when the unit is switched on. AUX (3.5mm) INPUT Auxiliary input connector jack for connecting devices like MP3 Players, Smartphones, Tablets, etc. CD/TAPE: INPUT REC: OUTPUT Use the RCA (L/R) input connector jacks to connect a stereo signal output device to the mixer. (CD, Tape, Cassette, MP3, Smartphone, Tablet, Mac, PC, Laptop, etc.) This signal RCA (L/R) output connector jacks are for connecting an external device to record from the mixer. Both channels are conformed into mono for compatibility. The signals are then taken 'pre-master' meaning the signal is without reverb or the master tone section does not include the tape signal. The connected signal becomes the 'main' bus signal before passing through the mixer's level controls and graphic equalizer.

It is grounded and should never have the ground pin removed for any reason. 1/4'' speaker outputs (A/B). Standard 2-conductor phone jacks are wired in parallel, with each having the ability to connect to your speaker system. Return:
Mono unbalanced 1/4'' connector jack for incorporating return effect or other line level source. It brings the output of the external effects device back into the mixer for further processing.
(Impedance: 10K Ohms @ -10dB). Send:
Mono unbalanced 1/4'' 2-Conductor line outputs. Used to connect additional recording device or external effects processor. Applies to the input of an external effects unit and allows you to
'send' your dedicated signal out to the connected external device. (Impedance: 1k Ohm @ -10dB). POWER SWITCH Control the power of the unit ON/OFF. When the unit is powered on, the LED indicator light on the front will shine blue. Balanced vs. Unbalanced Balanced lines are made specifically for reducing audio interference and noise rejection. The rule of thumb says, the longer the cable, the more noise your audio signal is likely to encounter. Your audio cable acts as an antenna and has the ability to pickup neighboring frequencies, and other environmental factors, that may interfere with the way your sound performs. The 'noise' that can affect your audio signals include electromagnetic sound waves that are generated by devices like neighboring sound processors, computers, fans, motors, etc. Therefore, balanced lines are the best option for running long cable through your audio equipment. However, if your audio equipment is confined within a single room or small space, then unbalanced lines will function sufficiently; keep in mind, the less interfering electromagnetic wave producing devices around your equipment, the better. Balanced connector lines are also widely used with microphone connection. The output signal from most microphones is rather small, so even the smallest amount of interfering 'noise' will be evident to your ears. Audio Connections and Additional Notes:
Multi-Channel Mixers We should like to draw your attention to the fact that extreme volumes may damage your hearing and/or your headphones or loudspeakers. Turn the MAIN MIX control and phones control in the main section fully down before you switch on the unit. Always be careful to set appropriate volume levels. Please, preferably, use commercial quality RCA cables to wire the inputs and outputs. You can, of course, also connect unbalanced devices to the balanced input/outputs. Use either mono plugs, or ensure that ring and sleeve are bridged inside the stereo plug (or pins 1 & 3 in the case of XLR connectors). You will need a larger number of cables for the various connections to and from the mixer console. Please operate with care, follow instructions and use only high-grade connection cables during any and all operation. Please use only the power supply unit provided with the console.
