This dialog is used to change the user preset‘s descrip-
tion. Turn the MENU/ENTER rotary encoder to the left or

key to quit editing the name. Pressing the BACK function
key returns to the menu.

AUX M

ODE

This dialog allows matching the routing of the AUX
channel to your application. When opening the AUX Mode
dialog the currently activated routing is highlighted.
Turn the MENU/ENTER rotary encoder to select on of the
routing setting described below. Press the MENU/ENTER
rotary encoder to apply the selected setting. Pressing the
BACK function key returns to the menu. Pressing the ESC
function key discards all changes and returns to effect
mode.

Pre fader (PRE)

The audio signal that is present at the AUX control is
tapped pre volume fader and therefore not affected by
the fader’s setting. This mode is mainly used for monitor-
ing. Pre-Fader Monitoring is especially preferable when
monitoring and master mix need to be completely differ-
ent from each other, e.g. when the volume setting of par-
ticular musical instruments or vocals needs to be higher
or lower than in the master mix. In most cases the mixing
console is placed somewhere in the audience area (FOH)
and is being operated by an sound technician.

Post fader (POST)

The audio signal that is present at the AUX control is
tapped post volume fader and therefore affected by the
fader’s setting. This mode is mainly used for establishing
FX- or special monitoring mixes. Using the POST-Fader
method is recommended when the mixer is also located
on the stage and you have to operate it yourself. Setting

all AUX controls to their center position, the master mix
is also present on the monitor bus, giving you the oppor-
tunity to control the volume settings of each channel in-
dividually from the stage. The overall volume of the
monitor mix is set using the AUX fader in the master sec-
tion. If you are using this option you should keep in mind
that all volume changes made with the channel faders
also apply to the monitor mix, leaving you with a higher
risk of acoustic feedback. The Post-Fader Monitoring
method provides the possibility of canceling channels of
some instruments – like kick or snare drum, which are in
fact already very loud on-stage – from the monitor mix by
turning the corresponding controls all the way to the left.

AUX to FX 2

In this mode the AUX channel is used as FX 2 channel, so
the AUX controls allow adjusting individual amounts of
the input signals to be routed to the integrated FX 2
effects units. At the same time the FX controls allow
adjusting individual amounts of the input signals to be
routed to the integrated FX 1 effects units (see page 12
for details).

LPN P

ROCESSING

This dialog is used to edit the LPN Speaker Processing fil-
ter setting of the integrated power amplifiers.

HINT: The LPN (Low-pass notch) filter corrects the

frequency and phase response of the connected
loudspeakers. This effect can not be achieved
using equalizers or „Bass-Boosters“, because
the LPN filter mainly optimizes the transient
response of the connected speaker. The result
is a more powerful, richer, sound, especially
when using small to medium volume fullrange
speakers or subwoofers.

When opening the LPN Processing dialog the currently
activated setting of the LPN filter is highlighted.
