[. . . ] ATTENTION: POUR EVITER LES CHOCS ELECTRIQUES, INTRODUIRE LA LAME LA PLUS LARGE DE LA FICHE DANS LA BORNE CORRESPONDANTE DE LA PRISE ET POUSSER JUSQU' AU FOND. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. "WARNING" "TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. " SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference. [. . . ] You can adjust the output level using the [PHONES] and [MONITOR] controls. (c) [PHONES] control Adjusts the output level of the [PHONE] jack. (d) [MONITOR LEVEL] indicators Indicate the output level of the monitor signal selected by the [MONITOR SELECT] switch (or the solo monitor signal). (e) [SOLO] indicator 30 31 When at least one of the [SOLO] switches is set to ON, the [SOLO] indicator slowly flashes, while the solo monitor signal is output from the [MONITOR (L/R)] and [PHONES] jacks. (f) [MONITOR SELECT] switch Selects signals to be monitored. You can select from Groups 1-2, Groups 3-4, Stereo and Effect return by pressing the switch as many time as required. When solo monitor is active, the selection is not effective (see page 32 for details). 22 Model AP3060 [Names and functions] (19) [PHANTOM (1-8, 9-16)] indicators Each indicator illuminates when the corresponding [PHANTOM] switch ([1-8] or [9-16]) is set to ON. The phantom power is supplied to the XLR connectors in eight input groups (see page 28 for details). (20) Internal effects section 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 28 27 a b (a) [EFFECT] indicator The current effect type selected by the [SELECT] switches illuminates. / c (b) [SELECT] up ( )/down ( ) switches Select an effect type (the indicator for the selected effect type illuminates). When the [EFFECT] on/off switch is set to ON ( ), the current effect is effective. (c) [EFFECT] on/off switch Switches the internal effects on ( ) or off ( ). When the switch is set to the down position (ON), / the current effect selected by the [SELECT] switches is effective (see page 31 for details). (21) Control section 29 Pressing a key in this section sends an MMC command to an external MIDI device connected to the [MIDI OUT] port (see page 40 for details). a (a) [REC] key b c 30 31 Pressing the key sends the RECORD command to an external MIDI device for starting recording. (b) [STOP] key Pressing the key sends the STOP command to an external MIDI device for stopping recording. (c) [PLAY] key Pressing the key sends the PLAY command to an external MIDI device for starting playback. 23 Model AP3060 [Names and functions] (22) [EFFECT TO GROUP] controls Each control adjusts the output level from the internal effects to the corresponding group buss pairs (1-2 or 3-4). See page 31 for details. (23) [EFFECT TO STEREO] control Adjusts the output level from the internal effects to the stereo busses. See page 31 for details. (24) [EFFECT TO AUX (1, 2, 3)] controls 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 28 27 29 Each control adjusts the output level from the internal effects to the corresponding AUX buss (1, 2 or 3). See page 31 for details. (25) [AUX SEND] controls / [SOLO] switches Each [AUX SEND] control adjusts the output level of the corresponding AUX SEND (1, 2 or 3) output. Each [SOLO] switch allows you to monitor the soloed signal of the corresponding AUX SEND (1, 2 or 3) output. As the diagram indicates, an analog signal from the [INPUT] connector is level-adjusted by the [TRIM] control and converted to digital, then sent to the channel fader via the EQ. After the channel fader, the pan control adjusts the left and right (or odd and even) balance of signal sent to stereo left and right busses (or odd and even group busses). Then the stereo signal is finally level-adjusted by the [STEREO] fader and output from the [STEREO OUT (L, R)] connectors. The AP3060 provides the following eleven busses: stereo busses (L, R), group busses (1, 2, 3, 4), AUX busses (1, 2, 3), effect buss and solo buss. The mixed signal may be D/A converted and fed to an external device, or directly fed to the internal effects.

You can connect a microphone to the XLR connector or connect a line signal to the phone jack. (The phone jack can accept both balanced and unbalanced signals. ) You can adjust the input gain using the [TRIM] control on each mixer channel strip. <Note>: When you turn on the phantom power, make sure that the [TRIM] controls on the corresponding mixer channels are set fully left (minimum) or the AP3060 is powered off. Usually phantom power does not damage a dynamic microphone, however, do not connect an old ribbon microphone to an input connector to which phantom power is supplied. · Selecting channel source On each of input channels 15 and 16, the [SOURCE (INPUT/SUB IN)] select switch is provided. When the switch is in the INPUT ( ) position, a signal from the [INPUT] connector is selected. When the switch is in the SUB IN ( ) position, a signal from the [SUB IN] jacks (L for channel 15, R for channel 16) is selected (see page 34 for details). T INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT INSERT K K PHANTOM POWER · Phantom power supply setting 48 V phantom power can be supplied to the XLR input connectors. You can turn on or off phantom power using the [PHANTOM] switches in eight channel groups (1-8 and 9-16) using these switches. Adjusting the input level The [TRIM] control adjust the head amp gain of each input signal.
