console supports that card. behringer.com
CAUTION: Before installing optional I/O cards into the console,
you must make sure that the console’s power switch is turned o.
Malfunctions or electrical shock may occur otherwise.
To install an interface I/O card:
1. Make sure that the mixer’s power is turned o.
2. Loosen the screws that fasten the slot, then remove the slot
cover and keep it in a safe place.
3. Before removing the X-USB card from its protective bag,
it is recommended to touch the grounded metal chassis of
the console to prevent electrostatic discharges aecting the
sensitive electronic components. It is generally a good idea

handles, but never touching the components on the circuit
board directly.

slot and carefully insert the card into the slot. Push the card
all the way into the slot to ensure that the contacts of the
card are correctly inserted into the connector inside.
