4. QUICK START
Install and connect the NUO2.0 as described in the INSTALLATION paragraph nº1.
We will describe a "Quick Start" procedure using the LINE input of channel 1 and headphone monitoring output
only.
1. Set the controllers to their initial position
Set Channel 1 GAIN, HI, MID, LOW (2, 3, 4, 5) rotary controls to their
detented centre position. Set the channel fader (12) to its down position.
2. Connect the headphones
Connect them to the headphones output (26). Set the headphones LEVEL
controller (24) to minimum level and move the SELECT (25) controller into
PFL position.
3. Connect a CD player
Connect a CD player to LINE input on channel 1 (35), insert a CD and play
the CD.
4. Connect the mixer's power cable
Connect the power cable to the mixer's power supply input (39) and turn it
on using the MAINS INPUT switch (40). Both elements are located on the
mixer's backside.
5. Select the input source
Make sure that channel 1's input switch (1) is in LINE position and press the
PFL button (9). The PFL VU-meter (14) should highlight. If this doesn't
happen, verify that the CD player is correctly connected and that there is an
audio track being played back.
6. Adjust the input level
Move the GAIN (2) control until the VU-meter shows 0dB.
7. Send the signal to the main output
Move the fader from channel 1 (12) all the way up and set the crossfader
(13) to the left side.
8. Listen to the signal with your headphones
Adjust the LEVEL controller (24) to obtain a comfortable monitoring volume.
Now you should hear music with your headphones. Turn the SELECT
controller (25) to the right to crossfade the PFL signal and the MIX signal.
When this controller is completely turned to the right, only the MIX signal
will be monitored.
9. Try the operation of the tone controllers
Experiment with this powerful 3-way stereo equaliser (3, 4, 5). This tone control has been designed for a creative
sound edition: each way can be individually isolated using the big and ergonomic rotary controllers.
10. Adjust the crossfader curve
The XFADER SHAPE control (23) allows you to precisely adjust the skew angle of the crossfader's curve. Turning
the controller completely to the left, the two songs will be melt softly. The crossfader's curve raises when turning
the controller to the right. Moving the controller completely to the right, the signal will enter suddenly with just a
short movement of the crossfader, which is a very suitable feature for scratching techniques.
