COMPRESSORS/LIMITERS

These are often used to prevent excessive peaks

overloading the amplification system, for example in

club installations subject to sound level control.

These

switches

are

recessed to avoid accidental

operation. Set using a pen

tip or pointed object.

Set the

AUX REVERSE

switch to the down position

(below panel) to route aux

mixes 1-4 through groups

1-4. Set L-R switch in the

up position for conventional

operation.

Set

LR SUM MONO

switch

to up

for mono out (L+R

sum).

This

example

shows

the

console

configured to control a Left, Right and

Centre Front of House system with 4 full

feature stage monitor mixes.

Stage monitor sends aux 1-4 are set

pre-fade so that the signal level is not

affected by the fader position and the

FOH mix.

Aux 5-6 are set post-fade to access two

effects devices whose outputs are

added to the L-R mix via stereo returns

1 and 2. Alternatively, these may be

connected to the stereo channels.

The channel and output inserts may be

used for outboard effects and signal

processors

such

as

compressors,

limiters and graphic equalisers.

GRAPHIC EQUALISERS

Graphic equalisers plugged into the console

inserts are an invaluable aid to reducing

on-stage acoustic feedback and enhancing

the clarity of the monitors.
