1) Plug the microphone into the
channel 8 input [Figure A]; that’s
right, we’re getting all crazy now,
skipping channels 1 – 7...who knows
what we’ll do next?!
2) Connect the Main Outs
[Figure A] of the DL1608 to the
line-level inputs of powered
speakers or to the line-level inputs
of an amplifier (with speakers
already attached).
3) Plug your favorite pair of
headphones into the 1/4" Phones
output jack [Figure B].
Five Simple Steps
4. Make the Audio Connections:
Now it’s time to make some audio
connections. First, make sure the
Power switch and Phantom Power
switch are both OFF [down],
[Figure A]. Also, be sure all Gain
knobs and the Phones knob are
fully counter-clockwise to start,
[Figure B].
You will need (at the very least)
the following items to get the most
out of this Quick Start Guide:
1) microphone, 2) speakers,
3) headphones, 4) cables.
A 12V DC power supply [aka The
Power Block] and a line cord are
included with the mixer. A locking
barrel connector resides at the end
of the cord attached to The Power
Block. Attach it to the DL1608 Power
Connector [Figure C] and rotate the
outer ring clockwise to lock. Now
plug the female end of the line cord
into The Power Block and the male
end into a live grounded AC outlet.
The mixer may accept any AC voltage
ranging from 100 VAC to 240 VAC.
For now, disregard the Network
Connector, Aux Sends and anything
else not mentioned in these first
few pages. We will dive into all of
these features later. Our first goal
is to ensure that the mixer and app
are communicating with each other,
followed by driving signal through
the mixer.
