To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not remove covers. No user serviceable parts inside. Please refer servicing to qualified personnel. To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not expose the equipment to rain or moisture. Do not impose unnecessary stress on your equipment (i.e. placing heavy objects on it, overscrewing its mounting etc). Read and keep the instruction manuals in a safe place for future references. Do not attempt to clean the equipment with chemical solvents as this may damage the finish. Clean only with dry cloth. Do not block any ventilation openings. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus that produce heat. Do not defeat the purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the grounding prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when it is not in use for a long period of time.
• • •
Use only attachments / accessories specified by the manufacturer. Always shut down power supply when not in use to save energy and for prolonged lifespan. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level exposures shown in the following chart. According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels use hearing protectors while the equipment is in operation. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating the equipment in order to prevent permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set forth here: Duration/Day (Hours) dB, Sound Pressure Level (SPL)

5. AUX1 / AUX2 CONTROLS The AUX1 knob controls the signal level that the channel sends to the AUX1 bus; the AUX2 knob controls the signal level to the AUX2 bus. These knobs should generally be set close to the position. If you are using stereo channels, the signals from the L (ODD) and R (EVEN) channels are mixed and sent to the AUX1 and AUX2 buses. NOTES: These controls allow you to output the signal to the AUX buses regardless of the setting of the ST switch [9].
6. PRE SWITCH Selects whether the pre-fader or the post-fader signal is fed to the AUX2 bus. If you set the switch ON (pressed in), the mixing console sends the pre-fader signal (the signal prior to passage through channel fader [12]), to the AUX2 bus, so that AUX2 output is not affected by the fader. If you set the switch OFF (out position) the mixing console sends the post-fader signal to the AUX2 bus. NOTES: This switch applies to AUX2 only. The signal to the AUX1 bus always passes through the channel fader first.

7. EFFECT CONTROL Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the channel to the EFFECT bus. Note that the signal level will also vary according to the setting of the channel fader. If you are using stereo channels (Channels 9/10, 11/12, 13/14, 15/16), the signals from the L (ODD) and R (EVEN) channels are mixed and then sent to the EFFECT bus.
8. PAN CONTROL (CHANNELS 1 TO 8), PAN/BAL CONTROL (CHANNELS 9/10, 11/12, 13/14, 15/16) The PAN control determines the positioning of the channel’s signal on the GROUP 1-2/3-4 buses or on the ST (STEREO) L and R buses. The BAL control knob sets the balance between left and right channels. Signals into to the L input (ODD channel) feed to the GROUP 1/3 bus or to the ST (STEREO) L bus; signals into the R input (EVEN channel) feed to the GROUP 2/4 bus or the ST (STEREO) R bus. NOTES: On channels where this knob provides both PAN and BAL controls (9/10, 11/12, 13/14, 15/16), the knob operates as a PAN control if you are inputting through the MIC input or into the L (MONO) input only, and operates as a BAL control if you are inputting into both L and R inputs.
9. ST SWITCH This switch assigns the channel’s signal to the ST (STEREO) L and R buses. To send the signal to the STEREO bus, set the switch ON by pressing it in. The switch lights up (amber) to indicate that it is ON.
10. PFL (PRE-FADER LISTEN) SWITCH This switch lets you monitor the channel’s pre-fader signal. To set the switch ON, press it in. The switch lights up (amber) in the ON mode. When the switch is ON, the mixing console outputs the channel’s pre-fader signal to the PHONES and C-R OUT connectors, for monitoring.
11. GROUP SWITCHES Use these switches to send the channel's signal to the GROUP 1-2 and/or GROUP 3-4 buses. Setting the switch on (pressed in) causes the signal to be sent to the corresponding group buses. NOTES: These switches allow you to assign the signal to either or both groups regardless of the setting of the ST switch [9].

17. RETURN (AUX1, AUX2, ST CONTROLS) AUX1 / AUX2 CONTROLS Adjust the level of the mixed L/R signals sent from the RETURN connectors (L (MONO) and R) to the AUX1 and AUX2 buses. ST CONTROL Adjusts the level of the signals sent from the RETURN connectors (L (MONO) and R) to the STEREO bus. NOTES: If you supply a signal to the RETURN L (MONO) input connector only, the mixing console outputs the identical signal to both the L and R STEREO buses.
18. 2TR IN CONTROL Adjusts the level of the signals sent from the 2TR IN input connectors to the STEREO bus.
19. PHANTOM +48V SWITCH This switch toggles phantom power ON and OFF. If you set the switch ON, the mixing console supplies DC +48V power to all channels (Channels 1 to 8, 9/10, 11/12) that provide MIC (XLR female) input connectors. Set this switch ON (pressed in, red LED on switch lights up) when using one or more condenser microphones. WARNING: Be sure to leave this switch OFF (switch not pressed in) when you are not using phantom power. Humming or damage may result if you connect to an unbalanced device or to an ungrounded transformer while this switch is ON (pressed in, red LED on switch lights up). But note that the switch may be left ON without problem when connecting to balanced dynamic microphones.
To avoid damage to speakers, be sure to turn OFF amplifiers (or powered speakers) before turning this switch ON or OFF.
20. LEVEL-METER SIGNAL SWITCHES These level-meter switches, together with the channel PFL switches, select the signal that is sent through the C-R/PHONES control to the C-R (CONTROL ROOM) OUT connectors, the PHONES connector, and the LEVEL METER. The following illustrates how the switch settings correspond to the signal selection. •
If the input channel’s PFL switch is ON (pressed in, amber LED on switch lights up), then only the channel’s PFL output is sent to the C-R OUT connectors, PHONES connector, and LEVEL METER.
•
If the 2TR IN switch is ON (pressed in), the signal supplied to the 2TR IN input connector is sent to the C-R OUT connectors, PHONES connector, and LEVEL METER. If the 2TR IN switch is off (not pressed in), then either the STEREO, GROUP 1-2, or GROUP 3-4 signal is sent to the C-R OUT connectors (as determined by the ST-GROUP and GROUP toggle switches).

21. C-R/PHONES CONTROL Controls the level of the signals output to the PHONES connector and the C-R L and R connectors.
22. LEVEL METER This 12-segment LED METER shows the level of the signals selected by the selection switches described in [20] above (the level to the C-R OUT and PHONES connectors). The “0” point corresponds to the standard output level. The indicator lights up red when the output hits the clipping level.
23. POWER INDICATOR This indicator lights up when the mixing console's power is ON.
24. ST GRAPHIC EQUALIZER This 7-band equalizer adjusts the sound of the signal send to the ST OUT connectors. The equalizer is effective only if the GEQ switch is set ON (pressed in, amber LED on switch lights up). The equalizer cuts or boosts each band (125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz, 4kHz, and 8kHz) over a range of ±12dB.
25. PHONES CONNECTOR Connector for headphones. This is a balanced stereo phone-type (¼” TRS) output connector. NOTES: The signals monitored by this connector are selected by the LEVELMETER SIGNAL switches and the channel PFL switches.

27. CHANNEL INPUTS MIC INPUT CONNECTORS These are balanced XLR (female) type input connectors. LINE INPUT CONNECTORS These are balanced phone-type (¼” TRS) input connectors. You can connect either balanced or unbalanced phone-type plugs to these connectors. NOTES: Where an input channel provides both a MIC connector and a LINE connector, you may use either one of these connectors but you must not use both at the same time. Please connect to only one of these connectors on each channel.
______________________________________________________________________________________ 8 © GECKO MUSIC GROUP. All Rights Reserved.
28. INSERT I/O These are balanced phone-type input/output connectors. Each of these connectors is positioned between the equalizer and fader of the corresponding input channel (Channels 1 to 8). These connectors can be used to independently connect these channels to devices such as graphic equalizers, compressors, external effects, and noise filters. These are ¼” TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) phone-type connectors that support bidirectional operation.
29. CHANNEL INPUTS (UNBALANCED) These are unbalanced input connectors. Two connector types are provided: ¼” TS phone-type (Channels 9/10 to 15/16) and RCA (Channels 13/14, 15/16). Use these connectors to input stereo signals, inputting the L signal(s) to the ODD-numbered channel(s) and the R signal(s) to the EVEN-numbered channel(s). NOTES: Where a channel provides both phone-type (¼” TS) connectors and RCA connectors, you must use either one of these connectors but you may not use both at the same time. Please connect to only one of these connectors on each channel. The phone-type (¼” TS) connectors for Channel 9/10 and 11/12 also support monaural input. Specifically, if you input only into the L (MONO) connector of either pair (while leaving the R connector empty), the mixing console will propagate the same signal through both the L (MONO) and R inputs.
30. GROUP OUT (1-4) These are impedance-balanced phone-type (¼” TRS) output connectors that output the GROUP 1-2/3-4 signals. Use these connectors to connect to the inputs of a multitrack hard disk recorder, external mixing console or other such device.
31. ST (STEREO) OUT These balanced XLR (male) and ¼” TRS connectors output the mixed signal whose level is adjusted by the ST fader in the MASTER CONTROL SECTION. Output is in STEREO (L and R). You use these connectors, for example, to connect to the power amplifier driving your main speakers.
32. C-R (CONTROL ROOM) OUT These are impedance-balanced ¼” TRS output connectors. These connectors output the mixed signal whose level is adjusted by the C-R/PHONES control. Output is in STEREO (L and R). These connectors are typically used to connect to a monitor system in a control room. NOTES: The signals by these output connectors are monitored by selecting the level-meter signal switches and the channel PFL switches.
33. SEND AUX1 / AUX2 These are impedance-balanced ¼” TRS output connectors. These connectors output the signal from AUX1 and AUX2, respectively. You use these connectors, for example, to connect to an external effects unit or to a cue box or other such monitoring system. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 9 © GECKO MUSIC GROUP. All Rights Reserved.
EFFECT This is an impedance-balanced ¼” TRS output connector that outputs the signal from the EFFECT bus. You use this output connector, for example, to connect to an external effects unit.
34. RETURN L (MONO), R These are unbalanced ¼” TS input connectors. The signal received by these input connectors is sent to the STEREO bus and the AUX1 and AUX2 buses. These input connectors are typically used to receive a return signal from an external effects unit (reverb, delay, etc.). NOTES: These input connectors can also be used as an auxiliary stereo input. If you connect to the L (MONO) input connector only, the mixing console will recognize the signal as monaural and will propagate the identical signal on both L and R connectors.
35. REC OUT (L, R) These are unbalanced RCA-type output connectors. By connecting these connectors to an external recorder, you can record the same signal that is being output from the ST (STEREO) OUT connectors. NOTES: The mixing console’s ST MASTER FADER does not operate on the signal output from these connectors. Be sure to make appropriate level adjustments at the external recording device.
36. 2TR IN These unbalanced RCA input connectors are used to input a stereo sound source. Use these connectors when you want to connect a stereo sound sources (CD or DAT) directly to the mixing console for monitoring. NOTES: You can adjust the signal level using the 2TR IN control in the MASTER CONTROL SECTION.
37. POWER SWITCH Use this switch to set the mixing console power to ON [I] or STANDBY [O]. WARNING: Note that trace current continues to flow while the switch is in the STANDBY position. If you do not plan to use the mixing console again for a long while, be sure to unplug the adaptor from the wall outlet.

38. AC ADAPTOR For GECKO® EXODUS MXR 1604DSP, use the included power adaptor. For GECKO® EXODUS MXR 3204DSP, use the built-in power cord. WARNING: Be sure to verify your actual line voltage is the same as the voltage level required by your mixing console. Connection to an inappropriate power source may result in fire or electric shock, and extensive damage which is not covered by the warranty.
MAKING CONNECTIONS The GECKO® EXODUS MXR 1604DSP / MXR 3204DSP can be used for many professional applications in both live and studio settings. For all connections, refer to the following steps: 1. Before connecting to microphones and instruments, be sure that all devices are turned OFF. Also be sure that all of the mixing console's channel faders and master control faders are set all the way down. 2. For each connection, connect one end of the cable to the relevant microphone or instrument and connect the other end to the appropriate LINE or MIC connector on the mixing console. Where an input channel provides both a MIC connector and a LINE connector, you may use either one of these connectors but you must not use both at the same time. Please connect to only one of these connectors on each channel. 3. Make connections using quality audio cables (i.e. GECKO® TRUTH T3AL) and connectors (i.e. GECKO® OLYMPIAN connectors) according to your requirements. 4. To avoid causing damage to speakers, power up the devices in the following order: Peripheral devices → mixing console → power amplifiers (or powered speakers). When shutting the system down, turn OFF the power in the reverse order: Power amplifiers (powered speakers) → mixing console → peripheral devices. 5. Although it requires no special ventilation, ambient temperatures should not exceed 113°F (45°C) when equipment is powered.
MOUNTING YOUR MIXING CONSOLE For mixing console mounting, refer to the following steps: 1. Two metal rack-mount supports are screwed onto the unit. Use a screwdriver to remove these supports. 2. Turn the supports over, and fasten them into place again using the same screws. 3. Mount the unit into the rack, and fasten it into place.
