NPUT CHANNEL
DUAL INPUTS A & B
- The stereo input channel features a dual input on RCA
Phonos (A) and TRS jacks (B). This is ideal for fast switching between stereo
sources without having to repatch the console or mixing two stereo sources
together.
GAIN A -
Use this control to adjust the channel input sensitivity to match the
connected source (-20 to +10dBu) to the console operating level (0dBu) on the RCA
Phono connectors. Press PFL to check the signal reads an average of ‘0’ on the
meters.
ON A -
Selects stereo source A (RCA PHONOS)
GAIN B -
Use this control to adjust the channel input sensitivity to match the
connected source (-20 to +10dBu) to the console operating level (0dBu) on the TRS
Jack connectors. Press PFL to check the signal reads an average of ‘0’ on the
meters.
ON B
- Selects stereo source B (TRS JACKS). Press both A and B to mix both
sources together.
MONO
- Combines the left and right outputs to mono the source. May also be used
to input a mono source to the stereo channel path.
EQUALISER
- Shelving HF and LF and two fixed frequency peak/dip mid controls
provide 15dB of boost or cut. The mid frequency controls provide optimum control
over boomy or boxy sounds and to add bite or reduce harshness of keyboards,
vocals, etc. Use the mids to add warmth or presence to the sound.
EQ IN
- Press to switch the EQ into the signal path.
AUXILIARY SENDS
- You can set up to 6 separately balanced mixes using the aux
send controls. Up to +6dB of boost is available.
Aux 1-4 and Aux 5-6
can be used as either MONITOR SENDS to the performers or
as EFFECTS SENDS to external signal processing equipment. The output can be
listened to using the aux master AFL system. MONITOR SENDS are normally set
pre-fader (PRE) and EFFECTS SENDS normally post-fader (POST). When set to
POST, the amount of channel signal in the monitor mix is dependent on the channel
fader level. Pre-fade aux sends are post-EQ, post-ON as standard (can be
reconfigured pre-EQ or pre-ON by setting internal links).
The Left and Right stereo signals are summed to provide aux feeds in mono.
However internal link options allow for pre or post aux sends as stereo pairs i.e.
AUX 1 = left, AUX 2 = right, etc. Refer to the options section in this user guide.
BAL
- Balances the channel signal within the stereo image, L (odd groups) and R
(even groups). The centre position is detented for quick resetting.
ON
- This turns the channel signal on or off.
PEAK
- The red LED illuminates when the signal is within 5dB of clipping. Should
this occur turn back the GAIN control to reduce the signal level. This LED also half
illuminates when a PFL switch is pressed.
PFL
- Press PFL to listen to the pre-fade signal (mono) on headphones or local
monitor without affecting the main outputs. The signal level is shown on the L and R
bargraph meters.
L-R, 1-2, 3-4 ROUTING SWITCHES
- These switches route the channel signal to L-
R master, groups 1-2, 3-4. Use the
BAL
control to route to individual groups or to
adjust the balance between the left and right signals.
Channel fader
- 100mm smooth action fader controls the overall channel level. All
post fade aux send levels are dependent on the level of the channel fader.
