PFL Switch
Samples the channel’s signal pre-fader and allows for monitor-
ing within the master section of the console. This signal is not
affected by the Mute Switch. When depressed, the signal level
can be seen on the output 12 meter, and heard via the mixer’s
headphone or local monitor output. When this PFL Switch is
depressed, the channel PEAK LED indicator illuminates at a
lower intensity. When used as a status indicator of switch posi-
tion, the Peak LED indicating circuit remains fully operational
by illuminating at a much higher intensity than when indicat-
ing PFL status.
PEAK LED Indicator
Illuminates RED when any of the points monitored come with-
in 3db of the clipping point. Signal is sampled after the input
preamplifier stage, after the EQ section, and after the fader.
This LED also serves as a PFL ON indicator, but at a much
lower intensity than when it is used to indicate clipping.
SIGNAL PRESENT LED
This green LED constantly displays level activity of the input
channel by varying in intensity.
100mm Fader
Used for control of all outputs of the channel except those
sends selected pre fader. (The Insert Output level is not affect-
ed by the fader position.)
Scene Mute Assignments
Assign the input channel to any of the four scene mute groups.
Scene mute combines with the module’s local mute button, and
actuates the local mute LED.
Scene Mute Safe Switch
Disables any selected scene mute assignments. An associated
green LED indicates that the channel is in a safe state.
Rear Panel Connections
Direct Out
This 1/4-inch TRS jack carries the direct output signal (post
fader & post mute) from the associated input channel.
Insert Send
This 1/4-inch TRS jack carries the send signal of the insert
loop to the external effect or signal processor.
Balanced Insert Return
This 1/4-inch TRS jack accepts the return signal of the insert
loop from the external effect or signal processor back into the
console.
Balanced Line In
This 1/4-inch TRS jack accepts balanced and unbalanced line
level inputs and delivers it into the associated input channel.
Lift Pin 1
This ground lift switch may be used to isolate pin1 of the mic
XLR from console ground.
Unpressed = pin 1 grounded
Pressed = pin 1 lifted
Balanced Mic In
This XLR connector accepts balanced microphone inputs for
the associated input channel.
Balanced Mic Out
This XLR connector is in parallel with the Balanced Mic In
connector and allows easy connection of the monitor board to
the FOH console.
