User manual
Description of the Inputs
Roadtrip 508 has 7 monophonic and one stereophonic input. The mono
channels have the following controls:
1
1) The VOLUME control adjusts the gain of the corresponding chan-
nel in the LEFT/MAIN and RIGHT MON outputs and therefore the
balance between the inputs. The signal of the channel is always
routed to both outputs.
2) The HIGH and LOW controls adjust the amount of high and low fre-
quencies on the particular input. The cutoff frequency for the HIGH
shelf filter is 12kHz, the LOW filter works from 80Hz, the control
range is +/- 12dB each.
3) The FX control feeds the channel signal to the internal multi effects
processor.
4) The MON VOL control feeds the channel signal to the RIGHT/MON
output if the AMP MODE MAIN/MON was chosen in the Master
section.
The Combo sockets in the lower part of the mixer panel serve as the
inputs for the channels 1 to 7. Via the Combo sockets you can input
the following sources to the channels:

(<10m).
2) Press and hold the PLAY/PAUSE button
10 seconds
3) 3. Release the button, when you hear two beeps from Roadtrip
508: Now, the external device can find Roadtrip 508 and pair with
it. As soon as the connection is established, the CONNECTED LED is
permanently lit. If the connection failed, the NOT CONNECTED LED
lights up: in this case repeat the process.
If you want to disconnect the Bluetooth device from Roadtrip 508 (for
example to pair Roadtrip with another Bluetooth device), press the
PLAY/PAUSE button for 3 seconds: After the next beep the connection
is terminated.
NOTE: Roadtrip 508 can only be paired with a single Bluetooth device
at the same time. The distance from the Bluetooth source must not
exceed 10 meters. If no connection can be established, reduce the
distance and try again.
If Roadtrip 508 is powered down and up again, you must not perform
a new scan to pair with the Bluetooth device: Press and hold the PLAY/
PAUSE button
for about 3 seconds.
