Run sound system cables in a way to prevent the danger of tripping, and tape them down where necessary. Open the top cover and remove the speakers from the Messenger package. Place speakers on a suitable surface and position them so that they will face toward the audience and away from the microphones. All of the necessary interconnect cables can be found in the convenient zipper pouch. Connect the speaker cables from the jack on the rear of each speaker to the powered mixer, connecting the left speaker to the LEFT OUTPUT and the right speaker to the RIGHT OUTPUT jacks on the side panel of the unit. When using more than one mic, try to connect them to channels in the same order as they appear on stage to make them easier to identify and control. Split Track Mix Split Track is a featured used on many sing along CDs and cassettes. The vocals are on one side (track) while the music is on the other track. The advantage is that the music can be played without or with only a small amount of vocals during the performance (to help stay on key and beat/que). Turning the knob to the left (counterclockwise) adds warmth and smoothness to the voice, while rotating the control to the right (clockwise) enhances vocal intelligibility. Extreme settings of these controls can adversely affect sound quality. Large amounts of boost (+) on these controls can also increase the chance of feedback on microphone inputs. Using the Graphic Equalizer (4) Unlike the LOW and HIGH controls on each channel, the five-band graphic equalizer adjusts the tonal balance of all the signals going through the powered mixer. This gives the user greater flexibility in adjusting the sound, But use moderation in making adjustments. Avoiding Acoustic Feedback (5) Acoustic feedback is the loud howl or squealing sound heard through sound systems as the result of sound from the speakers re-entering the microphones. Although it does an excellent job of getting the audience's attention, feedback should be avoided. When dealing with acoustic feedback, it is always best to start looking at the placement of the mics and speakers in the system before resorting to equalization (EQ) adjustments. Make sure that the speakers are positioned to direct the sound toward the audience and away from the microphones. Moving the mic closer to the person singing or speaking increases the volume of the sound through the system without having to turn up the gain. The FLS® (Feedback Locating System) LED indicators (small red lights) are invaluable tools in helping to reduce/eliminate feedback. [. . . ] The singer should hold the microphone directly in front of his/her mouth for best results and to help avoid a "thin" sound. " Auxiliary Output (LINE OUT) Operation The LINE OUT is a line-level output from the mixer that can be used for recording or driving an auxiliary amplifier. Warning: Connecting a tape machine to the LINE OUT to record while simultaneously connecting the tape machine's output into the mixer inputs can create an electronic feedback loop. Connect only the tape machine's inputs or outputs to the mixer, never both. [. . . ]
