Speaker Cables
Typical Balanced Output Set-up
This image details a typical stereo output layout. Note the use of the Balanced XLR Jacks on both 
the mixer and the amplifier.  Always use the balanced output jacks whenever possible. The balanced 
output jacks should always be used for cable runs in excess of 15 feet. 
Using the balanced jacks will ensure a clean signal through out the entire audio system.

The crossfader is “Hot Swapable” which means it may be replaced at any time, even when power is 
applied. Only replace with American Audio Part Feather Fader Plus. Replacing with any o\
ther model 
fader may seriously damage your mixer. Please, always use insulated tools. 
Replacing the Crossfader:
1.  Using a Phillips screw driver, unscrew the six stainless steel retainer screws that hold the mixer    
 face plate in place.
2.  Gently remove the crossfader knob. Lift and remove the mixer face plate to access the cross   
 fader. Carefully pull the crossfader up from its seated position. 
3.  After removing the crossfader, disconnect the ribbon cable that attaches the crossfader to the    
 PC board. Grasp the crossfader by its base and pull the ribbon cable by its connector not the \
   
 actual cables. The connector is designed to only fit one way, so don’t worry about the connec-   
 tors orientation.
4. Unscrew the ground cable from the crossfader plate. Now unscrew the crossfader from the    
 crossfader plate and replace with the new crossfader. Connect the ground cable to the cross   
 fader plate. 
5.  Connect the new crossfader to the ribbon cable and replace in reverse order.
