Setup Instructions:  
Making Connections:  
Using the Profile speaker cables, or a set of your own, connect an end of each cable into the  
speaker outputs of the mixer (R & W). Then connect the opposite end of each cable to the  
appropriate speaker cabinet input (Y). Hint: For ease of use, connect the right output jack (R) to the  
speaker cabinet on the right side of the mixer front and connect the left output jack (W) to the  
speaker cabinet on the left side of the mixer front. Doing this will ensure that the pan control (E) will  
be in sync with the appropriate speaker.  
If you are using a powered monitor, connect the input of the powered monitor to the monitor output  
jack (T) on the back of the mixer.  
If you are using a powered subwoofer, connect the input of the powered subwoofer to the sub output  
jack (U) on the back of the mixer.  
Be sure that the power switch (S) is set to the “off” position and then attach the AC cable to the AC  
input jack (X).  
Plug in the microphones and instruments you plan to use into the mic/line combination jacks (L & M).  
Note: If you are using an instrument that has a stereo output connect that one to the mic/line  
combination jack on channel 5 (M) using a stereo (tip/ring/sleeve) cable. If you are using a passive  
acoustic instrument, you should use the mic/line combination jack on channel 5 (M) and set the  
inst/line switch (H) to the inst position.  
If you are using an audio source, such as a CD player or computer, connect the output of the source  
to the RCA input jacks (I) or the line input jack (J).  
If you are using a microphone with a mini (1/8”) plug, you can use the mic in jack (K) to connect to  
the mixer.  
Master Section:  
Turn the master volume control (3) and the monitor volume control (5) counter-clockwise to the  
lowest setting.  
Set the master equalizer controls (2) to their center positions (0dB).  
If you are not using a subwoofer, set the sub volume to the center position. If you are using a  
subwoofer, set the sub volume to its lowest position.  
Turn the effects volume control (6) counter-clockwise to the lowest setting.  
Input Section:  
Turn all volume controls (G) counter-clockwise to their lowest positions.  
Set the pan controls (E) to their 12 o’clock positions.  
Set the treble and bass controls (C & D) to their 12 o’clock positions.  
Turn the monitor controls (B & F) counter-clockwise to their lowest positions.  
Turn the effects controls (A) counter-clockwise to their lowest positions.  
Playing:  
Turn the power switch (S) to the “on” position. Note: The power indicator (4) on the front of the  
mixer should now be lit.  
Turn the master volume control (3) clockwise to the 9 o’clock position and begin adjusting the  
volume controls (G) of the individual channels (that you are using) clockwise to reach desired level.  
After you are happy with the basic level, you then use the master volume control (3) to increase or  
decrease the overall amount of volume. Note: If you are using a powered subwoofer, adjust the sub  
volume slider (1) to the center position. After setting the basic level, you can then adjust this control  
to increase or decrease the output of the powered subwoofer.  
Adjust the treble and bass controls (C & D) on the individual channels and the master equalizer  
controls (2) to achieve the desired sound.  
Turn the master effects volume control (6) clockwise to the 9 o’clock position and begin adjusting the  
effects controls (A) on the individual channel to achieve the desired amount of digital effects for each  
channel. Note: You should also turn the effects selector control (7) to the desired effect selection  
and press the effects active switch (0) to the “on” position.

About the Master Section  
The master section gives you final control over the sum of what is happening in the input section. In other  
words, the adjustments you make in this section will affect all channels evenly.  
Sub Volume Control (1)  
When using a powered subwoofer that is connected into the sub output jack (U), this control  
becomes a volume control for the subwoofer. The output signal level can be adjusted by + or -  
12dB.  
When not using a powered subwoofer, this control becomes part of the equalizer section. This  
control will adjust the sub frequencies by + or - 12dB.  
Equalizer Controls (2)  
These controls are used to adjust the sound to your taste. The individual frequencies (100Hz,  
250Hz, 500Hz, 1KHz, 2KHz, 4KHz, 10KHz) can be adjusted by + or - 12dB.  
Master Volume (3)  
This control is used to adjust the overall output volume of the mixer. Adjusting this control will also  
adjust the output of the sub output jack (U) when a powered subwoofer is used. Although the sub  
volume control (1) will still adjust the output level up or down.  
Power Indicator (4)  
This indicator will light when power is applied to the amplifier.  
Monitor Volume (5)  
This control will adjust the overall output volume going to the monitor output jack (T).  
Effects Volume (6)  
This control will adjust the overall amount of effects that will be mixed into the outputs.  
Effects Selector Switch (7)  
This switch is used to select the type of digital effect you want to use. There are 16 different digital  
effects to choose from. These are the available effects:  
Reverb:  
Small Room  
Medium Room with Pre Delay  
Large Room

About the Input Section  
The input section is where you connect microphones, guitars, drum machines, keyboards, and other audio  
sources.  
Effects Control (A)  
This control is used to send the signal from the individual channel to the digital effects. The effects  
volume control (6) adjusts the overall volume for this control.  
Monitor Control (B)  
This control is used to send the signal from the individual channel to the monitor output jack (T).  
The monitor volume control (5) adjusts the overall volume for this control.  
Treble Control (C)  
This control is used to adjust the amount of “high” frequency applied to the individual channel.  
Bass Control (D)  
This control is used to adjust the amount of “low” frequency applied to the individual channel.  
Pan Control (E)  
This control is used to send the signal from the individual channel to the left and/or right outputs of  
the mixer. Setting this control to the 12 o’clock position will send signal equally to both left and right  
outputs.  
Aux Monitor Control (F)  
This control will adjust the overall amount of input signal from the Aux channel that is sent to the  
monitor output jack (T).  
Volume Control (G)  
This control will adjust the overall amount of input signal of the individual channel that is sent to the  
Master Volume Control (3).  
Instrument/Line Switch (H)  
If you are using a string instrument, such as an acoustic guitar that has a passive pickup (non-  
battery powered) or an electric guitar without an amp, then you should connect it to channel five and  
set this switch to instrument (“inst”). Setting the switch to instrument alters the equalization of the  
channel to bring out the sweet frequencies of any string instrument, such as acoustic and electric  
guitar, mandolin, cello, violin, or other stringed instruments.  
RCA Input Jacks (I)  
These jacks are used to connect any audio device that uses the RCA type plugs. Note: There are  
left and right inputs which are automatically kept stereo through the entire system. Basically, what is  
connected to the left input will come out of the left speaker. The same is true for the right.  
Aux Line In Jack (J)  
This jack accepts a stereo (tip/ring/sleve) 1/8” plug. This should be used to connect a device with a  
line level output such as a CD player or computer.  
Mic In Jack (K)  
This jack can be used to connect a microphone that has a 1/8” plug such as a computer microphone.  
This jack has phantom power for microphones that require it.  
Combination Input Jacks (L)  
These jacks are used to connect any audio source to the mixer, such as microphones, guitars,  
keyboards, drum machines, CD players, etc. These mono jacks will accept either 1/4” plugs or XLR  
type plugs.

Methods for connecting inputs to channels  
Method 1: Microphone using XLR balanced inputs -  
This is the most popular method for connecting microphones. It works with both dynamic and condenser low  
impedance microphones. Acoustic guitars that have XLR balanced outputs can also use this input. Because of the  
phantom power on these inputs, a battery  
may not be needed. Check the  
manufacturer of your instrument for use  
without a battery.

Method 2: Line level instrument using line input and a hi-z instrument cable-  
This method uses the mono line output through a hi-z instrument cable.  
Pros: A quick simple way to get an instrument into the PA without special cables or adapters. This method gives  
good results in most situations for short distances.  
Cons: Using an un-balanced cable longer than 25 feet runs the risk  
of hum and noise. Using this method in CH5 does not take

Method 3: instrument with passive pickup using hi-z input and cable (CH 5 only)-  
This method uses the hi-z (hi impedance) feature of channel 5. For best results, have the inst/line switch in  
the instrument (pressed in) position. This channel will automatically switch to mono mode using this method.  
Pros: A quick simple way to get a low output passive  
pickup instrument into the PA without special battery  
powered adapters.  
Cons: You run the risk of hum, noise and de-graded signal  
if cables longer than 15 feet are used.

DEVICE’S  
This method is for connecting devices that have 1/8” stereo or RCA line level outputs. The stereo  
separation of the device is maintained throughout the system. Headphone outputs can also be used as  
long as the level is kept low enough to prevent overloading the input. It is OK to use all three aux inputs at  
once.  
Pros: Provides a quick simple way to get pre-recorded music

into the PA. All three of the aux inputs can be used together.  
Cons: Right/left panning (balance) must be done with the input  
device.

Method 5: Unbalanced condenser mic with 1/8” plug  
This method is for connecting 1/8” mono or stereo condenser microphones typically used with computers. The ring and  
tip are typically tied together on mono microphones. The phantom supply is less voltage than the other Mic inputs.  
Pros: Provides a quick simple way to connect small Mics. The other two aux inputs can be used together with this mic  
input so in a way, it’s like getting an extra Mic channel.

About the Input Section (Cont.)  
Combination Input Jack (M)  
This jack functions the same as the other combination jacks (L) except the 1/4” input can be stereo,  
mono, or hi-Z mono. String instruments, such as acoustic guitar that have a passive pickup (non-  
battery powered) are typically hi-z mono and will work best in this channel. Line level stereo  
instruments such as electronic keyboards and drum machines are excellent choices for this channel,  
because it maintains the instrument’s stereo signal through the two separate preamps of channel 5.  
There is no need to be concerned if the instrument is stereo or mono because the channel  
automatically switches to mono if no signal is present on the ring of the 1/4” input, or if a standard  
mono guitar cord is used. In the stereo mode, the tip is assigned to the left preamp and the ring to  
the right preamp of channel 5. When no signal is present on the ring, or if a mono 1/4" plug is used,  
the signal present on the tip will be assigned to both left and right preamps of channel 5.  
Methods for connecting instruments to channel 5  
Method 1: Stereo using individual left and right line outputs of an electronic instrument -  
This method maintains stereo integrity from the instrument to speakers taking full advantage of the stereo feature  
channel 5 offers.  
Pros: Delivers a full rich sound on instruments with stereo effects.  
Cons: May require a 1/4” Stereo Adapter wire if  
your instrument does not have a single stereo  
jack.

Method 2: Stereo using Headphone output-  
This method gives the same result as the first method with a single cable. The headphone volume on the  
instrument should set for a good mix in the PA when channel 5 volume is half way up. If the headphone volume is  
too high, it can overload channel 5 and sound distorted.  
Pros: Same as method 1 but with less clutter.  
Cons: The musician playing the instrument  
must remember that too much headphone level  
can distort the channel.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions:  
1. How many speakers can I use with the Profile Two?  
7. I get this nasty pop when turning the microphone  
ANSWER: Most speaker cabinets today are 8-ohms.  
For the sake of this question we will assume this is the  
case. You can use a total of four 8-ohm speakers with  
the Profile Two: Two for the Left power-amp and two  
for the Right power-amp. The Profile Two cabinets are  
4-ohms each. DO NOT connect more than one of these  
cabinets per power-amp. DO NOT plug more than two  
8-ohm speakers or one 4-ohm speaker into each power-  
amp.  
switch on or off. What’s wrong?  
ANSWER: The microphone or cord is probably wired  
incorrectly or uses the wrong type of cable. The pop  
occurs when the phantom supply on a channel is  
shorted to shield ground. A properly wired XLR cord  
uses 2 conductor shielded cable. The shield connects  
to pin 1 and the center conductors go to pins 2 and 3.  
There cannot be a jumper or short between pins 2, 3,  
and the shield. The microphone is wired correctly  
when the signal on pin 2 and 3 short to each other  
when switched off.  
2. The speaker has no sound when plugged into the  
monitor or sub-woofer output jacks on the rear  
panel. What’s wrong?  
8. Can I use an external Power-amp with my Profile  
Two?  
ANSWER: These are line level output jacks not capable  
of driving a speaker directly. Use only powered  
monitors, sub-woofers,or an external power amp with  
these jacks.  
ANSWER: Yes! An external power amp can be  
connected to the left or right preamp out, Monitor , or  
Sub-woofer jacks on the rear.  
3. I only have a non-powered monitor. Is there any way  
to use it?  
9. Not all of my microphones are condenser type. Will  
the Phantom Power in the Profile Two damage my  
non-condenser mics?  
ANSWER: Yes, run a patch cord between the monitor out  
and the left or right power amp in. Doing this will  
disable the left or right mains preamp out from that  
power amp. The speaker connected to that power amp  
will be controlled by the master monitor volume.  
ANSWER: No. You can safely use a combination of  
condenser and dynamic microphones at the same  
time.  
10.I have the effects volume turned up, effects active  
and effects to monitor buttons pushed in, but still  
do not hear any effects through the monitors.  
Why?  
4. What can I do to reduce microphone feedback?  
ANSWER: Keep the microphones away from and behind  
the speakers. If this is not possible, try panning the  
channel to the opposite speaker of the offending  
ANSWER: The Main volume and/or the effects send  
on the channel is not turned up .  
microphone. The goal is to prevent sound produced by  
the speaker from entering the front of the microphone.  
The master graphic EQ also works well for controlling  
feedback when one or two frequencies are a nuisance.  
Be careful not to cut too many of the frequencies on the  
graphic EQ. This will cause the sound to lose clarity  
and become thin. If you notice this happening, lower the  
master volume and raise some of the EQ sliders.  
11. I have a channel that I want in the Mains but not  
in the monitors. The Monitor Volume on the  
channel is all the way down but it still comes  
through the monitors. Where is this coming from?  
ANSWER: It is coming from the digital effect. To  
correct this, do not assign effects to the monitor or  
keep the effects level down for that channel.  
5. My digital Keyboard is distorting, especially on the  
piano sounds.  
ANSWER: Adjust the output level of the keyboard so that  
the Profile Two channel volume is halfway or more. Be  
especially careful with piano and percussive sounds.  
They can be very dynamic and overload the channel on  
attacks when the channel has high output with the  
volume set low.  
12.The master volume is all the way down but the  
record output on the rear panel still has signal. Is  
this normal?  
ANSWER: Yes, the record output is pre-master  
volume. This allows you to set the record level  
independently from the master output. You can use the  
preamp outputs if you wish the master volume to  
control the record level.  
6. My acoustic guitar has a pick up that is plugged into  
channel one. It is not loud enough even with the  
channel volume all the way up. Do you think I have a  
bad cord?  
ANSWER: No. This guitar has a Hi-Z passive pickup.  
Use channel 5 in the instrument mode for this type of  
input. You can also purchase a battery powered preamp  
for the guitar pickup to use channels 1 thru 4.

The Profile System Two mixer and speakers have been specifically designed  
and optimized for use together as a package. The mixer has been designed to  
deliver maximum power with a 4-ohm load on each channel. If you choose to use  
different speakers with the mixer, refer to the chart below for loading information.

Total load on amplifier Note: To prevent overheating and possible loss of signal, do  
not use any combination of cabinets that results in a box that is shaded.  
This chart can help you determine what load (ohms) is present on the amplifier when using  
multiple cabinets. - To use this chart with two cabinets (A and B), find cabinet A’s impedance (ohms)  
column and cabinet B’s impedance row on the chart. The total load on the amplifier is shown in the  
box where they meet. For example: If cabinet A’s impedance is 8 ohms and cabinet B’s impedance is  
4 ohms, the total load on the amplifier would be 2.67 ohms.  
- To use this chart with three or more cabinets, find the total load for two cabinets and then use the  
result for cabinet A’s impedance column. The third cabinet will then be used for cabinet B’s impedance  
row on the chart. Find the total load on the amplifier and repeat if more cabinets are used. For  
example (using 3 cabinets): If the first cabinet (cabinet A) has an impedance of 16 ohms and the  
second (cabinet B) has an impedance of 8 ohms, the total load would be 5.33 ohms. Using this load  
(5.33) as cabinet A’s impedance and a third cabinet’s (new cabinet B) impedance of 4 ohms, you  
would find that the total load on the amplifier is 2.29 ohms. Note: It is not recommended to use any  
combination of cabinets that has a resulting load in a shaded area of the chart.
