1.
Loosen the Euroblock plug terminal screws.
NOTE
Use a flat-blade screwdriver with a width of 2.5mm or less.
2.
Insert wires.
NOTE
AWG16–AWG28 wires are compatible with the included Eu-
roblock plugs. Using wires within the compatible range, trim
about 7 mm of the protective sheaths from their ends.
3.
Tighten the Euroblock plug terminal screws.
NOTE
Confirm that the wires cannot be pulled out.
4.

lock plug tab.

DSP overview

Input channels

Input polarity setting
Set according to the polarity of the input channel signal.
Compressor
When the input volume exceeds the THRESHOLD level, the input
volume is compressed, reducing output volume variation.
Input equalizer
This unit has 4-band equalizers for the input channels.
Use the equalizer to increase or decrease the levels of specific
frequency ranges. This can be used, for example, to enhance the
sound of individual instruments, to adjust the balance of a wide
frequency range and to cut specific unwanted frequencies.
Flat-blade screwdriver
Euroblock plug
Automatic level control function
When the input sound level is too low or too high, the input level
will be increased or decreased automatically to an appropriate
level.
Input channel fader
Adjust the level sent to the matrix and USB buses.
Input mute
Mute the input channel signal.

Mixer

Matrix mixer
This unit has simple matrix mixer functions.
Ducking function
When a mic signal is input, the ducking function can automatical-
ly lower the volume of background music or other sound input
through the line input channels.
Ambient noise compensator (ANC) function
The ANC function can measure ambient noise and automatically
adjust the volume to make the main sound source easier to hear.
Routing setting
Audio can be routed to multiple output channels through the
matrix mixer, the ducking function and the ANC function.

Output channels

Output equalizer
This unit has 10-band equalizers for the output channels.
Use the equalizer to increase or decrease the levels of specific
frequency ranges. This can be used, for example, to enhance the
sound of individual instruments, to adjust the balance of a wide
frequency range and to cut specific unwanted frequencies.
Delay function
Use to adjust the delay of output channel signals.
Output channel fader
Use to adjust the level sent to the output jack.
Output mute
Mute the output channel signal.
Output limiter function
This prevents distortion caused by sudden excessive output sig-
nal levels.
Output polarity setting
Set according to the polarity of the output channel signal.
