Applications Examples
1 . PA and Sound Reinforcement
From a features standpoint , 8 Bus Series consoles are easy to configure for public address and sound reinforce-
ment applications, whether you are mixing the house,stage monitors or both at once.Use the L/R main mix buses
and your main L/R outputs as your main signal path.
If you want a headphone cue mix , either patch the Control Room outputs to a suitable headphone amplifier or
select MONITOR as the source for phones.
This will allow you to listen to any source you can select for the CONTROL ROOM.
You can also use the solo buses as headphone cue. If you prefer , you can modify the solo circuits for PFL ( pre-
fader listen).
You should normally use the L/R mix buses as your Main or House feed.Patch out from the L/R outputs into the
input to your amp stack(usually your house graphic equalizer).Any of the AUX buses can be used to feed a stage
monitor mix.
Set the AUX sends in each channel to PRE and patch the AUX send outputs to the appropriate amplifiers.
If you need to provide a simultaneous mix for a stereo recording, use the MIX-B buses.
- FOLLOW THIS SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE FOR EACH CHANNEL IN USE
1) Assign signal to channel fader:
LIf channel will be used with a microphone, MIC/LINE switch should be up &MIC/LINE,TAPE switch should
be up.
LIf channel will be used with line input, MIC/LINE switch should be down & MIC/LINE,TAPE switch should
be up.
2) Set channel strip controls as follows.
LTRIM pot all the way counterclockwise.
LAUX SEND controls all the way counterclockwise.
LLOW-CUT switch either on or off(on recommended for MIC inputs)
LChannel fader at UNITY
LPAN pot hard left or right
LSOLO switch on (for monitoring)
3) the channel's-10dB Led should light. The L/R main meters will show the actual internal operating level .
Now you will optimize levels.
4) Adjust the TRIM control clockwise to get peaks that regularly hit 0dB on the L/R meters.
5) If you use EQ, adjust the TRIM control after EQ controls set up.
6) Repeat steps 1-4 on the next channel that is being used.
