First, set correct input levels!
This procedure is so important
that we put it on the page before
the usual diagrams of various parts
of the mixer or sample connection
diagrams. It’s that critical!
Correctly setting each channel’s
GAIN control achieves the max-
imum amount of signal “head-
room” before distortion and the
least possible amount of noise.
• Set a channel’s GAIN too low
and there will be noise (hiss)
in that channel, even when no
voice or instrument is present.
• If GAIN is set too high, the
signal will distort and sound
scratchy when the singer or
instrument gets very loud.
You will need:
Your new mixer
Sound source such as micro-
phone, guitar, drum kit, key-
boars, music player, etc. — in
short, whatever gear you will be
using during a sound mixing or
recording session
The right cables to hook your
sound sources to the mixer
(We go into more detail about
connectors later on)
Two monitor speakers or
headphones
