Operating the PA324

USING AN EXTERNAL EFFECT
If you prefer to use an external device for effects process-
ing, you can easily connect the unit using the PA324 EFX
bus. Follow the simple steps below to interface your
processor:
1. Set the MONITOR section VOLUME control to the "0"
position.
2. Raise the EFFECT controls for the channels to which
you want the external effect to be applied.
3. Now adjust the EFX SEND level to about half way.
4. Set the input level of the external effect so that the sound
is not distorted and so that the effect’s input meter does
not indicate a clipped signal.
5. Use the AUX IN control to adjust the level of the effects
processed by the external effects device.
PLAYING BACK A CD
The PA324 has a dedicated input for playing back a CD,
Tape or Mini Disk. Below is a description of how you can
play back a CD, Tape or MD using the PA324’s TAPE
INPUT.
1. Turn the TAPE IN level control and the VOLUME level
control all the way down.
2. Follow the "LAST ON, FIRST OFF" rule and turn on your
peripheral devices and then the power on the PA324.
3. Adjust the VOLUME control of the MAIN section to the
"5" position.
4. Start playback on the CD, Tape or MD player, and use
the TAPE IN control to adjust the level so that the zero
LED of the MAIN section peak level meter lights occa-
sionally. Adjust the master volume control to raise the
level if necessary.
RECORDING FROM THE PA324
You can record the audio from the PA324’s mixer section
including the MIC, LINE, TAPE IN and AUX inputs to a cas-
sette deck, MD, DAT or any other type of recorder using the
RECORD outputs. Simply connect the PA324’s REC OUT
to the input jacks of the recorder as shown in the diagram above.
