Quick-start — How to set up your \ersamix quickly?
Set all channel trim controls (15) to zero dB (center detent position.)
Set all channel faders (1) to zero dB.
Slowly advance the L & R master faders until you have die output level you need
NOTE: This will vary according to your individual application.
Versamix Finer Adjustment Method
Activate (press down) the SOLO switch on any channel. When the channel fader is set to the zero
dB position (unity gain), die LED meters show the actual operating levels for that particular
“SOLOed” channel.
Now you can adjust the input trim control to optimize channel signal-to-noisc ratio and dynamic
range. A meter reading of approximately zero (“0”) will give best results as it delivers 18 dB headroom
with excellent signal-to-noise characteristics.
Set up every channel individually using the above method, then adjust the level and pan of each
channel to balance the mix in the L & R main output as desired. For optimum performance adjust
the main L & R mix faders so that the highest settings in the channel faders are about 0 dB (unity
gain), consistent with the desired sound level. This will provide optimum balance between signal-
to-noise ratio and headroom, plus allowing individual channels to be boosted for lead passages
without upsetting the rest of the mix by giving the channel faders “somewhere to go.”
