Auxiliary Sends
There are eight Mono Auxiliary Sends fitted, arranged in pairs on dual
concentric pots. All Aux Sends have unity gain when the controls are fully
clockwise.
Normally, Aux Sends 1-4 are fed from the Mix Path , with Aux Sends 5-8 fed
from the Channel Path . These can swapped between either path as required,
using the Aux 1-4 to CH and Aux 5-8 to Mix switches.
Pre-Fade Aux Sends
Additionally, Aux Sends 1-4 can be selected pre-fader using the Pre 1-4 switch.
Aux Send Mutes
Aux Sends 1&2 are fitted with a Mute Switch which operates on both as a
pair. This Mute is also automated via the Supertrue mixing system software.
Expanding the Number of Aux Busses
Refer to the Aux 3-4 To Tks section of the Routing area opposite.
Channel Path Inputs
48V
Applies 48 Volts DC phantom power to the microphone input XLR socket for
use with condenser microphones.
It is NOT recommended for use with unbalanced sources and should
NOT be operated with an open channel to avoid potential loudspeaker damage
due to the large switching transient!
Line Switch
Both Mic and Line signals share the same XLR connector. The Line switch disconnects phantom
power from the input and changes the input gain structure accordingly.
Note:
Input signals can easily be swapped between both Channel and Mix Paths using the
Input Flip switch located in the Mix Path Input area.
Gain Mic (Line)
The Gain control adjusts the sensitivity of the XLR input. The Mic range is 0dB to +66dB. The
Line range is –9dB to +15dB.
