Inputs
+
−
There are two XLR/1/4" mic/instrument inputs on the front.
+
−
Microphones can be connected to theses inputs with XLR cables.
+
−
Guitars can be connected with 1/4" cables.
+
−
Each input has:
+
−
Trim control knob for setting levels
+
−
Pad for reducing inout levels
+
−
There are eight 1/4" line level inputs on the back.  
+
−
Inputs 1 and 2 are connected to the patchbay.
+
−
The main outputs of the mixer are connected directly to inputs 3 and 4.  
+
−
The other inputs are not being used.
+
−
Do not connect or disconnect cables on the back.

Labeling
+
−
The various audio applications may refer to the inputs and outputs with slightly different names.
+
−
We have tried to set the preferences to meaningful names but sometimes they may revert back to the default names.

Inputs
+
−
Mic/Instrument inputs come before the line inputs.
+
−
This makes the numbering of the analog inputs confusing.
+
−
For example analog input 1 is input 3.
