PREPARATION 1.1 Opening the cover Release the 2 slide-locks and simultaneously slide out the cover.
1.5 Closing the battery compartment Replace the plastic side cover. NOTE : Certain D-Cells are longer than standard D-Cell batteries and slight difficulty may be found in clos ing the compartment if such batteries are us ed.
{ If necessary change the batteries. Using the Sonosax externa l power supply: IMPORTANT : Before turning on the uni t, make sure the voltage selector is co rrectly positi oned at either 110V or 220V depending on loca l current supply. If needed, cha nge selector position by usin g a screwdriver, a ball poin t pen or similar instrumen t.
Traditional professional mixi ng consoles are all based on t he same input structure. The signal from the micro phone goes through a phase reversal switch and then to a pad to attenuate the signal before goin g to the first amplification stage. Some mixers even introdu ce a transf ormer before the first stag e to simplify the circuits.
3.2 Installa tion Procedu re Disconnect the Neutrik and dual Bantam conne ctor from the module circuit board and install them in the appropriate blank holes on the mixer's back panel.
3.8 ON Switch With S-4 on the circuit board in Power position this swi tch turns the entire power to the mod ule on and off. An audible pop will be introd uced on the mixer's output if this s witch is used during op eration. This function is useful to conserve power when only a few chan nels are being used.

6.8 Slate butto n The slate bu tton rout es the slate microphone t o the main L & R outp uts, and if jumper 9 is installed, also to the AUX mix-bus (jumper 9-slate to AUX). By selecting pos. 4 on the DIP mini-switch a 27 Hz slate tone is sent to the main mix, and AUX (if jumper 9 is insta lled), every time you press the slate button.
The Tape / direct switch sele cts between monitoring the Aud io signal before the tape or after the ta pe (off-tape- monitoring). Thi s allows you to immediately check the recorded program material, provided your recorder has the tape monitoring feature.
