Power Procedure 1
Safety Notice
Before plugging the 8424 into the mains supply, please make sure of the following safety precautions:
The amplifier connected to the speakers is turned off and the volume controls are turned fully down (or if
using active speakers, ensure they are turned down and turned off).
Ensure the 8424 Control Room Monitor level is fully turned down.
All faders (including the Main Output faders) are at the bottom of their run at the CUT (∞) position.
Power-up procedure
Turn on the power to 8424 using the power switch on the rear of the console.
Switch the amplifier on (or the speakers if you are using active speakers).
Turn the amp (or speakers) to the desired level.
On the 8424, ensure that the Control Room level is turned down and un-cut the monitoring (as a safety feature,
the monitoring system will always be CUT when first switching the system on).
Move the Channel faders to the desired levels and put the Main mix fader up to 0dB.
Turn the Control Room Monitoring level up.
In this state, the console is ready to start recording from the A or B inputs with the Direct Outputs feeding the DAW
(or tape machine)
Power Down Procedure 1
Ensure your work is saved to the relevant medium.
Turn the Control Room Monitoring down as far as it will go and press the master CUT button for the speakers.
Turn the output level on the speaker's amplifier down to CUT, then turn the power off (if using active speakers,
turn each speaker down before removing the power).
Safely remove the power to 8424.
Failure to follow this procedure correctly could
invalidate the manufacturer warranty
