6.6.2If Channel Volume Is Too Low

If the channel slider volume control must be set above the +6 dB position to provide adequate volume, the Input Gain setting is too low. Set the channel level slider to 0, turn the Input Gain knob to the 1 oʼclock position, and increase the Input Gain by turning knob clockwise until clipping occurs or the VU meter’s signal level is between -10 dB and -3 dB. Then, adjust the Input Gain to a setting just below the clipping level.

If the signal cannot be increased with the Input Gain knob at 2- 3 o'clock, make sure the input is not set to Line.

Note: Some microphones are very low output. The mixer will not be able to completely compensate for the low level but will be able to provide a usable output signal. A decent dynamic microphone output level is approximately -55 dB. Check your microphone’s specifications.
