Troubleshooting

Check the following items before contacting a Yamaha dealer.

If the symptoms are not improved, contact your nearest Yamaha dealer.

Power does not come on.

† Did you properly connect the mixer and a computer by using the included USB cable?

† Did you press the [ ] (Standby/On) switch?

No sound.

† Did you download and install the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver from the following Yamaha website? http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/ag/

† Did you properly connect the external devices such as microphones, and powered monitor speakers?

† Are any connecting cables shorted or damaged?

† Did you turn on the power of connected electric instruments and external devices, and the powered monitor speakers?

† Did you properly adjust the [GAIN] knob, fader, Level knobs, Speakers [ ] knob, and

Headphones [ ] knob to appropriate levels?

† Are the [PAD] switches and [GAIN] switches turned on (O)?

Turn these switches off (N). If the volume of the sound source is too soft, turning on (O) these switches might result in no audible sound.

† Is the [MONITOR MUTE] switch turned on (O)?

† If you are using webcasting software, is the volume adjusted appropriately in the software?

Sound is faint, distorted, or noisy.

† Is the [PEAK] LED lit?

Lower the [GAIN] knob, or turn on (O) the [PAD] switch.

† Are the [GAIN] knob, fader, Level knobs, Speakers [ ] knob, or the Headphones [ ] knob set too high?

† Are the [PEAK] (red) indicators of the level meter lit?

Adjust the fader and Level knobs to appropriate levels. Lowering the volume with the Speakers

[ ] knob or the Headphones [ ] knob will not affect the [PEAK] indicators on the level meter.

† Is the volume from a connected device too loud?

Lower the volume of the connected device.

† Are the [PAD] switch and [GAIN] switch turned off (N)?

Turn these switches on (O). If the volume of the sound source is too loud, turning off (N) these switches might result in distorted sound.

† Is the [TO PC] slide switch set to [LOOPBACK]?

If this switch is set to [LOOPBACK] when using DAW software, a loop might be produced depending on the settings of the DAW software, possibly resulting in feedback. When recording while listening to the sound via a computer, be sure to set this switch to a setting other than

[LOOPBACK].

The sound of vocals and speech isn't clear enough.

† Turn on the [COMP/EQ] button (yellow LED lights).

The default settings for this button have parameters that are suitable for webcasting, reducing unwanted low-frequency noise and variations in vocal level.

No effect is applied.

† Did you turn on the [EFFECT] button (yellow LED lights)?

Mounting to a Microphone Stand

The unit can be mounted onto a microphone stand as illustrated at right, by using the optionally available Yamaha BMS-10A microphone stand adapter. For instructions on mounting, refer to the

NOTICE

To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the product, damage to data, or damage to other property, follow the notices below.

„ Handling and maintenance

• Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the device, TV, or radio may generate noise.

• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibration, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day), in order to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration, unstable operation, or damage to the internal components.

• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the device, since this might discolor the panel.

• When cleaning the device, use a dry and soft cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemicalimpregnated wiping cloths.

• Condensation can occur in the device due to rapid, drastic changes in ambient temperature—when the device is moved from one location to another, or air conditioning is turned on or off, for example.
