WICHTIGE SICHERHEITSHINWEISE
ACHTUNG: Beim Einsatz von Elektroger??ten m??ssen u.a. grundlegende Vorsichtsma??nahmen befolgt werden:
1.Lesen Sie sich diese Anweisungen durch.
2.Bewahren Sie diese Anweisungen auf.
3.Beachten Sie alle Warnungen.
4.Befolgen Sie alle Anweisungen.
5.Setzen Sie dieses Ger??t nicht in der N??he von Wasser ein.
6.Reinigen Sie es nur mit einem trockenen Tuch.
7.Blockieren Sie keine der L??ftungs??ffnungen. F??hren Sie die Installation gem???? den Anweisungen des Herstellers durch.
8.Installieren Sie das Ger??t nicht neben W??rmequellen wie Heizungen, Heizger??ten, ??fen oder anderen Ger??ten (auch Verst??rkern), die W??rme erzeugen.
9.Beeintr??chtigen Sie nicht die Sicherheitswirkung des gepolten Steckers bzw. des Erdungssteckers. Ein gepolter Stecker weist zwei Stifte auf, von denen einer breiter ist als der andere. Ein Erdungsstecker weist zwei Stifte und einen dritten Erdungsstift auf. Der breite Stift bzw. der dritte Stift dient Ihrer Sicherheit. Sollte der beiliegende Stecker nicht in Ihre Steckdose passen, wenden Sie sich bitte an einen Elektriker, um die ungeeignete Steckdose austauschen zu lassen.
10.Sch??tzen Sie das Netzkabel, sodass niemand darauf tritt oder es geknickt wird, insbesondere an Steckern oder Buchsen und ihren Austrittsstellen aus dem Ger??t.
11.Verwenden Sie nur die vom Hersteller erh??ltlichen Zubeh??rger??te oder Zubeh??rteile.
12.Verwenden Sie nur einen Wagen, Stativ, Dreifu??, Tr??ger oder Tisch, der den Angaben des Herstellers entspricht oder zusammen
mit dem Ger??t verkauft wurde. Wird ein Wagen verwendet, bewegen Sie den Wagen mit dem darauf befindlichen Ger??t besonders vorsichtig, damit er nicht umkippt und m??glicherweise jemand verletzt wird.
13.Trennen Sie das Ger??t w??hrend eines Gewitters oder w??hrend l??ngerer Zeitr??ume, in denen es nicht benutzt wird, von der Stromversorgung.
14.Lassen Sie s??mtliche Wartungsarbeiten von qualifizierten Kundendiensttechnikern durchf??hren. Eine Wartung ist erforderlich, wenn das Ger??t in irgendeiner Art besch??digt wurde, etwa wenn das Netzkabel oder der Netzstecker besch??digt wurden, Fl??ssigkeit oder Gegenst??nde in das Ger??t gelangt sind, das Ger??t Regen oder Feuchtigkeit ausgesetzt wurde, nicht normal arbeitet oder heruntergefallen ist.
15.Der Erdungsstift darf nie entfernt werden. Auf Wunsch senden wir Ihnen gerne unsere kostenlose Brosch??re ???Shock Hazard and Grounding??? (Gefahr durch elektrischen Schlag und Erdung) zu. Schlie??en Sie nur an die Stromversorgung der Art an, die am Ger??t neben dem Netzkabel angegeben ist.

This switch is recessed into the console and requires a small ???tool??? such as a pencil or pen tip to activate. A regular low impedance dynamic mic such as the PVM??? 22 will not be harmed. The Line inputs (49&50) are not connected to the +48 V supply and are safe for bal- anced or unbalanced inputs. An adjacent LED illuminates when Phantom Power is activated.
Caution:
If phantom power is used, do not connect unbalanced dynamic micro- phones or other devices to the XLR inputs. (Some wireless receivers may be damaged. Consult their manuals.)
Note:
Make sure the Master Level Faders (40) are completely down when switching on the phantom power and when connect- ing microphones to the Mic inputs to prevent pops from affecting the loud- speakers.

DIGITAL PROCESSING ARENA
This is a brief overview of the digital processing capabilities of your new FX??? mixer. While you can expect incredible results following this guide, mastering the art of digital processing will be achieved through experimentation. Keep in mind that until you confirm your changes by pressing "save", no alterations have been made to the presets. Peavey engineers programmed your mixer with a variety of the most commonly used presets, which are ready to use right out of the box. However, your FX mixer will only reach its full digital processing potential through your acquired expertise. Review the process below and begin exploring the digital mixing world beyond factory presets.
44A Effects Screen
When you power up your FX Mixer, the Peavey logo will briefly appear on the LCD (47). In a few seconds, once the mixer software is fully loaded, the effects screen will appear on the LCD (47). Your FX Mixer fea- tures a variety of commonly used factory presets and plenty of

If you make a mistake, you do not have to start over. The ???undo??? button will revert the last change to its original setting, much like the undo command in a word processor. To make further refinements to any

QUICK TIP: From anywhere within the digital arena, you can return to the main effects screen simply by pressing the Effects Button (44A).
By default, the stereo output menu appears when the Output Processing button (44B) is pressed. If you prefer to work in
subwoofer mode, return to the main output processing screen by pressing the ???mode??? soft knob choice.
Stereo Output Mode
The stereo output option features four customizable output effects: Feedback Ferret??, EQ, Delay, and Limiter. To edit an effect, press the Soft Encoder button (45) and then enter the edit mode using Soft Switches (46). To save a new preset (save current) or to use a previously saved setting (load saved), enter the ???lib??? (library) mode using the soft knobs
Remember, in stereo mode these parameter adjustments are made to both the left and right channels equally.

Dual Mono Output Mode
The dual mono output mode functions exactly like the stereo mode except that parameters may be adjusted independently for left and right channels. To save a new preset (save current) or to use a previ- ously saved setting (load saved), enter the ???lib??? (library) mode using the soft knobs
Subwoofer Output Mode
This mode features an internal crossover filter that allows you to adjust parameters of frequency levels (high frequencies feed to the left channel and low frequencies feed to the right). To save a new preset (save current) or to use a previously saved setting (load saved), enter the ???lib??? (library) mode using the soft knobs
44C Digital I/O
Pressing the Digital I/O (44C) allows user access to the utility or USB menu options.
Utility Menu Options
Entering the utility function allows users to adjust screen contrast, assign two levels of user acces- sibility (security), change or access password, or restore the unit to the original factory presets.
