SECURITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
ELECTRICAL SECURITY
Check that the current in the mains connection where the machine is to be installed corresponds to the
power supply of the machine.
To avoid damaging the equipment, electrical shocks, fire or physical injury when you connect or disconnect
the equipment from the power supply, pull the plug firmly out of the mains socket holding the plug, never the
cable.
Always do this with dry hands.
eep the power supply cable far from sources of heat. Do not put heavy objects on top of it or change it.
Clean dust and dirt off the power supply cable regularly.
Do not open the machine; you could get an electric shock.
CAUTION
While installing the machine, make sure it is switched off and unplugged.
Do not open the machine. Touching the internal parts is dangerous and you could receive an electric shock.
The machine must not be splashed or dripped on. Never place recipients with liquid inside on the machine.
Do not place anything inside the machine.
LOCATION
Place the equipment on a horizontal surface with enough space around it to allow ventilation.
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and excessive dust.
Do not place the machine near magnetic fields or static electricity.
Do not use surfaces which vibrate or receive impact.
Do not pile machines on top of one another.
VENTILATION
Never block or cover the ventilation slits on the machine.
Do not expose it to direct sunlight or place it near sources of heat.
PERIODS OF INACTIVITY
When the machine is not going to be used for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains.
If you are using an adapter, take into account that it will continue using electricity even if the machine is
switched off. If it is not going to be used for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains.
THE ENVIRONMENT
To save energy, switch the machine off when you are not going to use it for a long time. The machine could
contain substances that are harmful to the environment or human health. To minimize the effect of these
substances the machine must be correctly managed and recycled when you decide to dispose of it.
When you dispose of it remember: it cannot be thrown into a conventional rubbish bin.
If it contains or uses batteries, these must be disposed of separately.
The machine (without batteries) must be disposed of correctly. Put it in a container specially intended for the
collection of electronic and electrical appliances, at the dump or hand it over to the dealer when you purchase
similar equipment, so that the dealer can dispose of it correctly (at no added cost).

C NTR LS AND FUNCTI NS
FR NT PANEL
M N input channels CH-1/CH-6: mono input channels for microphone signals and line level.
1.- SG/PK: channel input signal LED indicator. When there is an input signal connected the LED indicator
lights up and stays green. If the input signal starts to get saturated, the LED indicator will turn orange and
will turn red when the input signal is saturated.
2.- HIGH, MID, L W: 3-band equalizer which lets you adjust the range of high, mid and low frequencies for
each channel. Turning the control to the right will strengthen the corresponding frequency band and to
the left will weaken it.
3.- M N: lets you control the signal level which is sent to the bus monitor.
4.- DSP/FX: lets you control the signal level which is sent to the multi-effects processor.
5.- PAN: strengthens the adjustment of the L/R stereo image of channels 1-6. Send the signal either to the
left channel L or to the right R of the stereo image of the MAIN final mix.
6.- LEVEL: volume control of the input signal of each channel.
7.- PAD: lets you attenuate the 20 dB input signal. Push this button to avoid input signal distortion.
8.- LINE IN: line level signal input, 6.3 mm stereo jack connector. Allows the connection of line level devices
(synthesizers, rhythm boxes, etc.).
9.- MIC IN: microphone input, XLR connector. Allows microphone connection, even condenser microphones
which need phantom power supply. To connect these microphones you must activate the +48 V phantom
power supply with the corresponding control.
Note: when the phantom power supply is activated, to avoid damaging the microphones and the mixer itself
do not connect unbalanced microphones.

y de nivel de línea. 10.- BAL: balance adjustment of the input signals for channels 7-12.
11.- LINE IN and MIC/LEFT IN: 6.3 mm stereo and combo jack mic.
and line signal input connectors. With the 6.3 mm stereo jack
connectors (LINE IN and LEFT IN), balanced stereo line level signals
can be introduced.
On the other hand, if you only use the left channel connector, the
input signal will be shared between the 2 channels.
In order to introduce microphone level inputs, use the XLR
connector.
12.- 12 V LAMP: BNC connector which supplies 12V for the power
supply of a lamp. Press the on/off switch to turn the lamp on and
off.
13.- +48 V PHANT M: +48 V phantom power supply selector with LED
indicator for condenser microphones. The phantom power supply
is present in the XLR microphone connectors of channels 1-12.
14.- AMPLIFIER ASSIGN: allows you to route the output signal to the
amplifier for different operating modes, L/R, L+R/monitor and
bridge mode. Please read the CONNECTION section for more
information.
15.- FX to Main: allows you to control the level of the signal with effects
that is sent to the MAIN output signal.
16.- FX to Mon: allows you to control the level of the signal with effects
which is sent to the MONITOR output signal.
17.- BAL: TAPE IN input signal balance adjustment.
18.- LEVEL: TAPE IN input signal volume control.
19.- TAPE IN: input connectors for an auxiliary signal coming from an
external reproduction device. It allows you to connect the signal
with a 3.5 mm stereo jack connector or 2 RCA connectors.
20.- TAPE UT: MAIN signal output RCA connectors so that it can be
introduced in a recording device.

C NNECTI N
- Before making any connections, make sure all the equipment is off.
- Check that all the LEVEL controls for each channel and the output level controls are at their minimum.
-Connect the microphones and the desired equipment to the CH1-12 channel inputs.
- Switch the equipment on in order, starting with the peripheral systems and ending with the SMA-912USB.
- While speaking through the microphone, adjust it with the LEVEL control of the corresponding channel, so
that the LED SG/PEA indicator of the output section level indicator lights up occasionally.
- If you wish to adjust the tone of each channel, use the equalizer controls for each channel.
- Use the graphic equalizer and the LEVEL control from the output section to adjust the tone and general
volume.
Depending on the position of the AMPLIFIER ASSIGN selector, there are various ways of making the speaker
connection. 1, 2 or more speakers can be connected to speakon or jack connectors. The resulting impedance
of the speakers differs depending on the number and the way they are connected. Make sure the resulting
speaker impedance is kept at the specified value or higher. The power depending on the impedance is as
follows:
390 + 390 W RMS at 4 Ω
240 + 240 W RMS at 8 Ω
738 W RMS at 8 Ω in bridge mode

MAIN L, MAIN R
The connection is made by connecting the desired speakers to the 6.3 mm jack or speakon connectors on
the back of the SMA-912USB.
Note: respect the indications on the resulting speaker connection impedance.
The output signal for both speakers is controlled using the MAIN controls on the front panel of the device.
MAIN L + R, M NIT R
The connection is made connecting one or various monitor speakers (where the output signal that is assigned
to the bus monitor will come out) and one or various speakers to the 6.3 mm jack or speakon connectors on
the back panel of the SMA-912USB.
Note: respect the indications on the resulting speaker connection impedance.
The speaker monitor output signal is controlled by the MONITOR controls on the front panel of the device,
while the output signal of the other speaker is controlled by the MAIN controls on the front panel of the
device.

BRIDGE M DE
With the bridge mode the speaker or speakers that you connect to the speakon connector or 6.3 mm jack
of the back panel will receive the sum of the power of both amplifiers.
Note: respect the indications made about the resulting impedance of the speaker connections.
