excessive enhancement of the MID band.
7. Parametric Mid
This Control is for adjusting the filter frequency (100 Hz–8kHz) for the equalizer in the
midrange
10 / 11 AUX 1 FX 1 / AUX 2 FX 2
The FX control allows you to change the AUX FX 1/2 Level to the FX Mix.
The range is from 0 – 10
Using the FX1/2 control lets you route the corresponding input signal to the integrated
digital effects units FX1 or FX2 at variable levels. In this way assigning special effects
to musical instruments or vocals is fairly simple. When establishing an effect-mix, it’s
advisable to start with all FX-controls set to their center position. You can further
increase or reduce the effect’s intensity, depending on your personal preferences.
Please make sure to carefully monitor the PEAK LED’s in the FX1/2 channels during
a performance.
12. AUX 3
The Aux control allows you to adjust the Aux 3 Channel to the Aux Mix. The range is
from 0 – 10
13. MONITOR
This control allows you to adjust the Monitor Mix and send it with Master Monitor
Fader to the Monitor Amp. The range is from 0 – 10.
14. PAN
By using the PAN control you can change the input signal’s position within the stereo
image. When the PAN control is set to center position, the audio signal is equal for
both the left and right buss.
15. PFL
The PFL button (pre fade listening) is designed to override the main signal, so
although an individual channel is heard, it is not in complete isolation. If you push the
PFL button, regardless of the Aux rotary control, you will get the complete signal in
your headphone/monitors. This is useful, because the recording engineer hears some
of the main signal. So the channel is not only heard, but also in context. Pressing this
button assigns a channel’s audio signal to the PFL bus. Simultaneously assigning
more than one channel to the PFL bus is possible, while the individual channel’s
volume fader setting is not recognized (PRE FADER LISTEN). Once a PFL button is
pressed, the master display automatically enters PFL/PGM mode. This allows you
setting a signal’s correct level or making special EQ-adjustments without the need of
including it in the main mix.
16. PEAK Indicator
The Peak indicator shows a channel’s incoming signal level at all times. If the red
PEAK LED frequently blinks or constantly lights, the corresponding channel is likely to
enter clipping and you have to reduce amplification using the gain control. The peak
LED lights at a level of 8 dB below the occurrence of overdrive. Make sure that the
Peak LED (+12dB) lights only briefly during dynamic peaks, indicating a state of over
modulation (distortion at extremely high volumes). In this case, check the output
signal of your mixer and turn down the input gain control. a channel LED (
16 )
illuminates, when a channel is going into overload. You don’t want the overload light
to come on, except very intermittently during a take or mix. If it does not light
persistently, reduce input gain.
