Un bon manuel d’utilisation

Les règles imposent au revendeur l'obligation de fournir à l'acheteur, avec des marchandises, le manuel d’utilisation Mackie 1604-VLZ PRO. Le manque du manuel d’utilisation ou les informations incorrectes fournies au consommateur sont à la base d'une plainte pour non-conformité du dispositif avec le contrat. Conformément à la loi, l’inclusion du manuel d’utilisation sous une forme autre que le papier est autorisée, ce qui est souvent utilisé récemment, en incluant la forme graphique ou électronique du manuel Mackie 1604-VLZ PRO ou les vidéos d'instruction pour les utilisateurs. La condition est son caractère lisible et compréhensible.

Qu'est ce que le manuel d’utilisation?

Le mot vient du latin "Instructio", à savoir organiser. Ainsi, le manuel d’utilisation Mackie 1604-VLZ PRO décrit les étapes de la procédure. Le but du manuel d’utilisation est d’instruire, de faciliter le démarrage, l'utilisation de l'équipement ou l'exécution des actions spécifiques. Le manuel d’utilisation est une collection d'informations sur l'objet/service, une indice.

Malheureusement, peu d'utilisateurs prennent le temps de lire le manuel d’utilisation, et un bon manuel permet non seulement d’apprendre à connaître un certain nombre de fonctionnalités supplémentaires du dispositif acheté, mais aussi éviter la majorité des défaillances.

Donc, ce qui devrait contenir le manuel parfait?

Tout d'abord, le manuel d’utilisation Mackie 1604-VLZ PRO devrait contenir:
- informations sur les caractéristiques techniques du dispositif Mackie 1604-VLZ PRO
- nom du fabricant et année de fabrication Mackie 1604-VLZ PRO
- instructions d'utilisation, de réglage et d’entretien de l'équipement Mackie 1604-VLZ PRO
- signes de sécurité et attestations confirmant la conformité avec les normes pertinentes

Pourquoi nous ne lisons pas les manuels d’utilisation?

Habituellement, cela est dû au manque de temps et de certitude quant à la fonctionnalité spécifique de l'équipement acheté. Malheureusement, la connexion et le démarrage Mackie 1604-VLZ PRO ne suffisent pas. Le manuel d’utilisation contient un certain nombre de lignes directrices concernant les fonctionnalités spécifiques, la sécurité, les méthodes d'entretien (même les moyens qui doivent être utilisés), les défauts possibles Mackie 1604-VLZ PRO et les moyens de résoudre des problèmes communs lors de l'utilisation. Enfin, le manuel contient les coordonnées du service Mackie en l'absence de l'efficacité des solutions proposées. Actuellement, les manuels d’utilisation sous la forme d'animations intéressantes et de vidéos pédagogiques qui sont meilleurs que la brochure, sont très populaires. Ce type de manuel permet à l'utilisateur de voir toute la vidéo d'instruction sans sauter les spécifications et les descriptions techniques compliquées Mackie 1604-VLZ PRO, comme c’est le cas pour la version papier.

Pourquoi lire le manuel d’utilisation?

Tout d'abord, il contient la réponse sur la structure, les possibilités du dispositif Mackie 1604-VLZ PRO, l'utilisation de divers accessoires et une gamme d'informations pour profiter pleinement de toutes les fonctionnalités et commodités.

Après un achat réussi de l’équipement/dispositif, prenez un moment pour vous familiariser avec toutes les parties du manuel d'utilisation Mackie 1604-VLZ PRO. À l'heure actuelle, ils sont soigneusement préparés et traduits pour qu'ils soient non seulement compréhensibles pour les utilisateurs, mais pour qu’ils remplissent leur fonction de base de l'information et d’aide.

    11 LINE INPUTS These 1 / 4 " jacks share circuitry (but not phantom power) with the mic preamps. Y ou can use these inputs for virtually any signal you’ll come across, from instrument levels as low as –50dB to operating levels of –10dBV to +4dBu, as there is 60dB of gain available via the TRIM knob .

    12 SPLIT MONITORING W ith split monitoring, you use the first eight channels for your sound sources: vocal mics, drum mics, keyboard/synth outputs, guitar effects outputs, that sort of thing. From there, the channels manipulate the sound, but are not assigned to the output section. Instead, they’re patched from the channel’ s DIRECT OUT jacks t[...]

    17 CHANNEL STRIP DESCRIPTION A Clean Fade Faders ar e not rocket science — they operate by dragging a metal pin (the wiper) across a carbon-based strip (the track). It is possible for airborne crud to land on the track. Should that happen, you may hear scratchy noises or signal drop- outs as the wiper stumbles over the crud. Do all you can to kee[...]

    18 If you’re printing new tracks or bouncing ex- isting ones, you’ll also use the 1–2 and 3–4 switches, but not the L–R switch. Here, you don’t want the subgroups sent back into the MAIN MIX , but sent out, via the SUB OUTS jacks, to your multitrack inputs . However , if you’re printing tracks via the DIRECT OUT jacks , all the channe[...]

    19 CONST ANT LOUDNESS ! ! ! The 1604-VLZ PRO’s PA N controls employ a de- sign called “Const ant Loudness.” It has not hing to do with living next to a freeway . As you turn the PA N knob from left to right (thereby caus- ing the sound to move from the left to the center to the right), the sound will appear to remain at the same volume (or lo[...]

    21 W e recommend going into a ster eo reverb in mono and returning in ster eo. W e have found that on most “stereo” r everbs, the second input just ties up an extra aux send and adds nothing to the sound. There ar e exceptions, so feel fr ee to try it both ways. Should you choose to use two aux sends, use the “odd” AUX ( 1 , 3 or 5 ) to fee[...]

    24 MODE (NORMAL (AFL)/LEVEL SET (PFL)) Y ou may have already seen this, but in case you missed it: The 1604-VLZ PRO’s solo system comes in two flavors: NORMAL (AFL) (sometimes called SIP , or solo-in-place) and LEVEL SET (PFL) (sometimes called PFL, or pr e-fader-listen). In NORMAL (AFL) , the soloed channel’s signal is sent dir ectly to the C-[...]

    25 METERS The 1604-VLZ PRO’s peak metering system is made up of two columns of twelve LEDs. Decep- tively simple, considering the multitude of signals that can be monitored by it.

Beside each switch is a gr een LED that, just like the channel’ s –20 LED , helps you[...]

This allows you to t[...]
