FBX-SOLO Model SL820
QUICK START OPERATION
For best results, read all operating instructions
before using the FBX-SOLO (pages 10-19).
Patch in the SOLO where appropriate for your
model, and select the input/output level on the
back.
Adjust the Clip Level on the SOLO so at least
1 or 2 input LEDs light with your program input.
With gain down on the mixer input channel, put
the SOLO in Active mode (green bypass
LED), then slowly raise the channel gain to the
point of feedback.
Continue raising the gain slowly until 7 FBX
filters are set, then reduce gain slightly.
