microphone and monitor headphones. Finally, connect the stereo outputs to the power amplifier(s) and/or audio receivers. Additionally, you can connect
the REC output to any recording device such as a CD or DVD recorder. Plug your mixer into AC power. Now you are ready to switch everything on.

off, always reverse this operation by turning off amplifiers, then your mixer, and then input devices.
