Using this Midas Verona 480 audio mixing console is easy. First, connect it to the correct power supply that comes with it. Then, you can start plugging in your audio sources to the 48 inputs. Use the 8 auxiliary outputs to send audio to additional devices like effects units. The 4 matrix outputs can be used to create different mixes. When you're done using it, make sure to turn it off properly. Be careful when adjusting the knobs, especially the pan knob on channel 45 as it's causing an issue with sending audio to the stereo mix. Also, keep an eye on the group engagement caps, as one is missing on group 4 of channel 31. For maintenance, keep the console clean from dust and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity.
