;Setting the Trim Control
# Set the '''Trim''' control on the power stand to the 0 (zero) position.
# Connect the audio source to the Analog Input
# Adjust the volume of the {{{Device|source device}}} output to the reference or nominal output level. 
#* On analog consoles this may be marked as '''unity''' or '''0 dB'''.
#* On digital consoles this may be marked as '''-18 dBFS<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBFS dBFS]</ref><ref>[http://avres.com/blog/dbu-vs-dbfs.html dBU vs dBFS]</ref>'''. The exact value (-18 dBFS to -20 dBFS) may vary depending your location<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBFS#Analog_levels dBFS Analog Levels]</ref>.
#* Refer to the manual for the {{{Device|source device}}} for details.
#* If the {{{Device|source device}}} does not have metering or indicators, set the output as high as you can without hearing distortion or seeing red indicator lights.
# While playing/singing as loud as you will during your performance, increase the '''Trim''' level so that the '''Signal/Clip''' indicator glows green or yellow. Occasional flickers of red are okay. 
# If the '''Signal/Clip''' indicator glows solid red or you hear distortion, decrease the '''Trim''' level so that it glows only green or yellow.
