applied.
Check that the [AUX2/FX] send controls on each channel are correctly adjusted.
Is the FX RTN [FX ON] switch turned on?
Check that the FX RTN [LEVEL] control is correctly adjusted.
The sound from the speakers
seems dull, lacking in dynamics and power.
Are the equalizer controls [HIGH]/[MID]/[LOW] adjusted appropriately?
Is the GEQ (graphic equalizer) adjusted appropriately?
Are the speaker processor and bass boost functions set correctly?
Speaking voices are not clear.
Are the equalizer controls [HIGH]/[MID]/[LOW] adjusted appropriately?
Is the GEQ (graphic equalizer) adjusted appropriately?
Is the [HPF] switch turned on?
How can the monitor output
be heard?
Connect a powered speaker (a speaker with an internal amplifier) to the [AUX1 SEND], [AUX2 SEND] jacks. For the [AUX1 SEND] jack and
[AUX2 SEND] jack output signals, adjust each channel’s [AUX1] send control, [AUX2/FX] send control, as well as the AUX1 and AUX2 MASTER
[LEVEL] controls.
Set AMP MODE to L+R/AUX1 on the SYSTEM SETUP screen to enable output of the monitor signal (AUX1) from the rear panel [SPEAKERS B]

Connecting Speakers
When you wish to connect multiple speakers from the [SPEAKERS A/B] jacks in parallel, keep in mind that the overall impedance does not fall below 4 ohms. When connecting speakers
with the same impedance in parallel, the overall impedance
value is half with two speakers, one-third with three speakers,
and only one-quarter with four speakers.
CAUTION
• When connecting each device, only use appropriately
rated cables and plugs. Only use proper speaker cable
when connecting speakers.
• Make sure to insert the speaker cables all the way inside
until secure. When connecting a speakON plug, insert it all
the way inside, then turn until it locks in place.
• Use speaker cables with an insulated-housing connector.

Rack Mounting
To prepare the mixer for rack mounting, use the RK-EMX7
(rack-mount brackets) sold separately. This mixer requires 7U*
of rack-mount space.
* 7U is approximately 312 mm.
CAUTION
This mixer is heavy, and should be lifted by two people when
mounting onto a rack.
Assembly of the Rack-mount Brackets
1. Use a screwdriver to loosen and remove the 12 screws on the
mixer side pads.
NOTICE
During installing the rack-mount brackets, take care to
ensure that the screws do not damage surfaces such as
table tops. Place a soft cloth under the mixer for protection.
Precautions for Rack Mounting
3. Carefully store the remaining six screws that are not used in
This mixer is rated for operation at ambient temperatures ranging from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius. If you install this mixer along
with other devices in a poorly ventilated EIA standard rack, the
ambient temperature inside the rack may rise, resulting in inefficient performance. Be sure to rack-mount according to the following conditions so the mixer does not overheat.
• When mounting the mixer in a rack with devices such as
power amplifiers that generate a significant amount of heat,
leave more than 1U of space between it and other devices.
Also, either leave the open spaces uncovered or install appropriate ventilating panels to minimize the possibility of heat
buildup.
• To ensure sufficient airflow, leave the rear of the rack open. If
you have installed a fan kit in the rack, there may be cases in
which closing the rear of the rack will produce a greater cooling effect. Refer to the rack and/or fan kit manual for more
details.
Step 2 so they are not lost. Once the rack-mount brackets are
installed there will be a total of eight empty screw holes on
the both sides of the mixer.
NOTE
Separate screws for actually mounting the mixer in a rack are
not included with the mixer.
Empty screw holes
are on both sides of
the mixer.
2. Use six of the screws you removed in Step 1 to securely
install the RK-EMX7 separately sold (rack-mount brackets)
onto the mixer.
NOTICE
Be sure to use the same screws removed from the mixer
in Step 1. Using other screws may cause damage.
4. If you wish to remove the rack-mount brackets and reinstall
the side pads, ensure that they are installed on the correct
sides of the mixer. The inside surface of the side pads are
marked as “L” (Left) or “R” (Right).

*2 Since the hot and cold terminals of impedance balanced output jacks have
the same impedance, the balanced connection enables these output jacks to
be less affected by induced noise.
