5.1.2 Dual-band Equalization

The dual-band equalizer of your

dual mix

provides

you with an active and high quality sound interaction
tool that supports the natural tone of instruments and
voice whilst simultaneously offering you the possibili-
ty of a controlled interaction.

With all controls in mid position the filters are set to

produce a very pleasing and natural sound impression.
The

high-

(treble) and

low-

(bass)controls allow you to

modulate the sound as desired.

5.2 efx – Effects Section Multieffect

The

dual mix

has an onboard digital effects unit with

four presets

1 = short reverb

2 = long reverb

3 =

delay 320 ms

and

4 = deep chorus

, which are called

up with the

select

effects selector switch. Each pres-

sing of this switch will shift the preset selection by
one setting.

With the

pan

control

the effect is assigned to the

channels. In its centre position both channels will
receive the same amount of wet signal, turned

fully

counterclockwise only channel 1

, turned

fully clock-

wise only channel 2

will get a wet signal. The

level

control adjusts the effects loudness in the master si-
gnal.

5.3 aux-in

The

aux-in

is a stereo signal input (RCA/3.5 mm ste

reo jack, frontside) e.g. for a CD- oder MP3-player or

a drum computer. Using the

level

control, the signal

which is present here is blended with the master si-
gnal.

5.4 master

The

volume

control adjusts the loudness of

line-out

and

headphones

together.

5.5 DI-out

The

DI-out

yields a balanced output signal whose le-

vel can be adjusted by the

level

-control.

5.6 24V Phantom power

The

24V phantom power

switches are located on the

rear side of the housing. These provide phantom po-

wer to the XLR inputs for devices that require it, e.g.

condenser mics.

The 24V phantom power supply of your AER device
complies with the DIN EN 61398 regulations in view

of a 24V phantom power supply.
Please note the adjacent text.

Supplement to article 5.6

Information about the use of 48V or 24V phantom
power (phantom power = remote supply, here: po-
wering an audio device via the connected audio line)

Turn on the

phantom power

only if the unit con-

nected to the XLR socket is designed to handle it!

In general, suitable units are e.g. condenser mi-
crophones, active DI boxes and other special au-
dio devices, whose power supply is drawn from the
phantom power. Such devices are also labelled accor-

dingly; please heed the permissible power consump

tion (max.10mA). High-quality dynamic microphones

with a balanced signal need no phantom power, but
can handle it anyway. Other devices which have not
been designed explicitly for phantom power opera-
tion can suffer from considerable malfunctions, and
damage may result as well.

Examples of devices that may be damaged by incor-
rect application of phantom power include:

Low-cost dynamic microphones with a mono jack
plug (unbalanced signal) that were fitted afterwards
with an XLR connector. Audio devices with a balan

ced XLR output (e.g. DI boxes, effects devices, instru

ment preamps with a DI output etc.) which are not
protected against phantom power applied to their

XLR output. (The DI connectors on AER products are

protected against applied phantom power.)

Other audio devices (such as preamps, effects pedals

etc.) whose unbalanced line output was replaced by

an XLR socket.

If in doubt please consult the manufacturer of the
device you are using.

Experiment and enjoy your new route to alternate
soundscapes!
