Chapter 2 : Getting Started
The following instructions will help you get your system set up and started in no time. You should only have
to follow these instructions once and then you will be well on your way to a beautiful future of mixing.
This upgrade can take up to 30 minutes, so follow these steps well in advance of a show,
demo or other event.
1. Be sure to perform a full System Backup of Master Fader – Tools > Settings > System Backup.
2. Follow THESE AXIS UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS
(with thanks to our wonderful Technical Support team!).
3. Plug signal sources into the DL32R, such as:
• Microphones plugged into the mic inputs.
• Line-level sources such as keyboards, drum machines, or MP3 players plugged into the line-level inputs.
4. Connect XLR outputs 13 and 14 of the DL32R to powered speakers (or to an amplifier connected
to passive speakers).
5. Turn the DL32R on first and the DC16 on second. [Technically the DC16 will still be able to discover the
DL32R if the DC16 is powered on first, but you might be required to refresh the mixer list the DC16 received.]
Follow the on-screen instructions of the DC16 – as seen in the images below (and next two pages) – to pair.
(A) – Nothing to do here, but wait!
