Component names and functions > Front side
d
Line [K (R)] input jack ([K] input jack on the AG03MK2)
AG06MK2
Connect an electronic keyboard, audio device or other line-level equipment here. Channels 3/4 use phone plugs, and
channels 5/6 use RCA pin type plugs. Use the channel 3 [L/MONO] jack to connect a device with a monaural output.
When doing so, the audio input from the [L/MONO] jack is output to both the L and R channels of the mixer output.
AG03MK2
Connect an electronic keyboard, audio device or other line-level equipment here. Use the channel 2 [L/MONO] jack to
connect a device with a monaural output. When doing so, the audio input from the [L/MONO] jack is output to both
the L and R channels of the mixer output. This does not work when the [GUITAR/LINE] selector switch is set to GUITAR
(O).
e
Guitar [G] input jack (AG03MK2 only)
Connect an electric guitar, bass guitar or similar instruments here. Compatible with phone plugs. This does not work
when the [GUITAR/LINE] selector switch h is set to LINE (N).
f
[LINE] switch
When this is set to on (O), the input sound is attenuated. If the sound distorts even when you turn the [GAIN] m
knob all the way to minimum, or if the [PEAK] LED r lights frequently, set this to on (O).
NOTE
Turn the faders and knobs to the minimum setting before you toggle the [LINE switch]. This is because you may hear a noise
when the [LINE switch] is toggled.
g
[GUITAR] switch (AG06MK2 only)
Use this switch to change the input impedance for channel 2, either on (O) or off (N). Set this to on when directly
connecting an instrument with high output impedance like an electric guitar or bass guitar to channel 2. If you will
use the “on” setting for this switch, connect your instrument to this product with an unbalanced phone connector.
The product will not work correctly if you use a balanced cable.
WARNING
(
Set the knobs for the speaker, headphone and other output controls to their minimum setting before toggling this
switch. This is because the levels may suddenly get loud, which could damage your hearing or cause external devices to
malfunction.
h
[GUITAR/LINE] selector switch (AG03MK2 only)
Use this switch to change the input for channel 2. Set this to GUITAR (O) when directly connecting an instrument
with high output impedance like an electric guitar or bass guitar to the guitar [G] input jack e. Set this to LINE
(N) when connecting a line-level device to the line [K] input jack d. If you will use the GUITAR setting for this
switch, connect your instrument to this product with an unbalanced phone connector. The product will not work
correctly if you use a balanced cable.
WARNING
(
Set the knobs for the speaker, headphone and other output controls to their minimum setting before toggling this
switch. This is because the levels may suddenly get loud, which could damage your hearing or cause external devices to
malfunction.

XLR plug connected to the mic/line input jacks for channels 1 and 2 c. Turn this switch on when you are using a
condenser mic.
NOTICE
(
Turn the switch off if you don’t need phantom power.
(
To prevent this product or your external device from malfunctioning and to prevent noise, turn this switch off before
connecting a device that does not support phantom power to channels 1 or 2.
(
To prevent this product or your external device from malfunctioning and to prevent noise, do not unplug or insert a
cable into channels 1 and 2 while the switch is still on.
(
To prevent this product or your external device from malfunctioning and to prevent noise, turn phantom power on/off
only when the channel 1/2 level knobs are at minimum (0) setting.
j
Phantom [+48V] switch/[+48V] LED (AG03MK2 only)
When this switch is turned on (O), the [+48V] LED lights, and DC +48 V phantom power is supplied to the XLR plug
connected to the mic/line input jack c for channel 1. Turn this switch on when you are using a condenser mic.
NOTICE
(
Turn the switch off if you don’t need phantom power.
(
To prevent this product or your external device from malfunctioning and to prevent noise, set this switch to off before
connecting a device that does not support phantom power to channel 1.

only when the level knob for channel 1 is at minimum (0) setting.
k
[GAIN HIGH LOW] switch (AG03MK2 only)
Determines the base volume for channels 2/3. Set this to LOW (O) if the sound is distorting.
NOTE
Turn the level knob to the minimum setting before you toggle the [GAIN HIGH LOW] switch. This is because you may hear a
noise when toggling the [GAIN HIGH LOW] switch.
l
[HIGH LOW] switch (AG06MK2 only)
Determines the base volume for channels 3/4 and 5/6. Set this to LOW (O) if the sound is distorting.
NOTE
Turn the level knob to the minimum setting before you toggle the [HIGH LOW] switch. This is because you may hear a noise

when you sing loudly or play strongly.
n
[COMP/EQ] button
Turns the compressor and equalizer on (the LED lights up yellow). This is set at the optimal setting for livestreaming
by default. This keeps down unnecessary noise in the low end and helps smooth out differences in the input levels.
o
[AMP SIM] button (AG06MK2 only)
Turns the amp simulator on (the LED lights up yellow). The amp simulator recreates the sound of playing an electric
guitar through an amplifier. This simulates the characteristic “distorted” amp sound that’s heard when you directly
connect an electric guitar.

(
Is the [LINE] switch f, [GAIN HIGH LOW] switch k (AG03MK2 only) and the [HIGH LOW] switch l
(AG06MK2) set to off (N)?
(
Turn these switches on (O). If the volume from the sound source is too high, the sound may distort
when these switches are set to off (N).
65
Troubleshooting > Audio-related and other issues
(
Is the [STREAMING OUT] selector switch D set to [LOOPBACK]?
(
If you are using DAW software and the [LOOPBACK] setting is used, a loop may occur depending on
your DAW software settings, which could cause feedback. To record while listening to the sound from
your computer, be sure to use a setting other than [LOOPBACK].
Making the vocals or speech sound clearer
(
Set the [COMP/EQ] button n to on (the button lights up yellow).
(
A parameter that’s appropriate for Internet livestreaming is already set for this button by factory
default, which keeps down unnecessary noise in the low end and helps smooth out differences in the
input levels.
Cannot adjust the volume
(
Are you adjusting the volume of the [AUX] input/output jack B on the connected device?
(
You cannot adjust the [AUX] input/output jack volume with the level knob. Adjust the volume from the
connected device.
Reverb is not applied
(
Is the [REVERB] button on (the button lights up yellow)?
