THANK

 

YOU

 

for

 

purchasing

 

your

 

Korg

 

ZERO8.

  

Being

 

a

 

digital

 

mixer,

 

it

 

is

 

especially

 

important

 

to

 

observe

 

proper

 

gain

 

staging

 

throughout

 

the

 

signal

 

path

 

to

 

achieve

 

optimal

 

sound

 

quality.

 

To

 

help

 

you

 

we

 

offer

 

the

 

following

 

suggestions.

 

The

 

ZERO8

 

is

 

designed

 

to

 

be

 

able

 

to

 

accept

 

a

 

very

 

strong

 

signal

 

on

 

input,

 

so

 

be

 

sure

 

to

 

take

 

full

 

advantage

 

of

 

this

 

high

 

ceiling

 

for

 

each

 

channel:

 

1.

Set

 

the

 

Master

 

and

 

Booth

 

volumes

 

to

 

“0”

 

(Otherwise

 

you

 

might

 

overload

 

your

 

speakers.

 

We

 

will

 

address

 

the

 

output

 

stage

 

next)

 

2.

Select

 

an

 

input

 

source

 

for

 

the

 

channel

 

you’re

 

feeding

 

signal

 

to

 

and

 

begin

 

playing

 

audio.

 

Your

 

source

 

should

 

be

 

at

 

maximum

 

volume

 

3.

Press

 

the

 

SETUP

 

button

 

to

 

access

 

the

 

main

 

menu

 

4.

Touch

 

“System”

 

on

 

the

 

screen

 

5.

Touch

 

“Input

 

Trim”*

 

on

 

the

 

screen

 

6.

Using

 

the

 

corresponding

 

knob

 

above

 

the

 

screen,

 

adjust

 

the

 

INPUT

 

TRIM

 

for

 

the

 

input

 

type

 

you’re

 

using,

 

to

 

best

 

accommodate

 

the

 

level

 

of

 

your

 

sound

 

source.

 

If

 

the

 

meter

 

on

 

the

 

channel

 

indicates

 

clipping

 

(The

 

last,

 

red

 

LED

 

on

 

the

 

meter

 

lights

 

up),

 

step

 

down

 

until

 

you

 

reach

 

as

 

close

 

to

 

unity

 

gain

 

as

 

possible

 

(The

 

second

 

to

 

last,

 

orange

 

LED

 

on

 

the

 

meter)

 

7.

For

 

fine

 

gain

 

adjustments,

 

use

 

the

 

gain

 

knob

 

at

 

the

 

top

 

of

 

the

 

channel.

 

If

 

the

 

LED

 

under

 

the

 

gain

 

knob

 

starts

 

to

 

blink

 

(clipping)

 

lower

 

the

 

gain

 

just

 

below

 

that

 

point

 

8.

Repeat

 

this

 

process

 

for

 

all

 

connected

  

sound

 

sources
