Depending on your system configuration, sometimes applying the
ground will create a quieter signal path. Sometimes lifting the ground
can eliminate ground loops and hum to create a quieter signal path.
1. With the mixer on, listen to the system in idle mode (no signal
present) with the ground applied (the GROUND LIFT SWITCH (46) in
the left position).

2. Then turn the power off before moving the GROUND LIFT
SWITCH (46). Lift the ground by moving the GROUND LIFT
SWITCH to the right, turn the power back on and listen to determine
which position will provide a signal devoid of background noise and
hum. Keep the GROUND LIFT SWITCH in the ground position if the
noise level remains the same in either position.
