Using this Sabian personal drum mixer is straightforward. First, you'll need to get a center - negative 18V 0.5A power supply as it doesn't come with one. Without it, the mixer won't work. Before using, remember it's only been visually inspected. When you're done using the mixer, turn it off properly. For maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you notice any issues, don't try to fix it yourself right away. You can consult a professional for help.
