12 METERS & SOLO LED
The three-colour peak reading BARGRAPH METERS normally show the level of the signal(s) selected by the
monitor source-select switches, giving you a constant warning of excessive peaks in the signal(s) which might
cause overloading. Aim to keep the signal within the amber segments at peak levels for best performance.
Similarly, if the output level is too low and hardly registering at all on the meters, the level of background
noise may become significant. Take care to set up the input levels for best performance.
When any AFL/PFL switch is pressed, the meters switch to show the selected AFL/PFL signal on both meters,
in mono; the SOLO LED also lights.
MIX & SUB-GROUP OUTPUTS
13 MIX FADER
The MIX FADER sets the final level of the Mix outputs. This should normally be set close to the ‘0’ mark if
the input GAIN settings have been correctly set, to give maximum travel on the fader for smoothest control.
14 SUB FADERS
This pair of faders sets the final levels of the Sub-group outputs. These should normally be set close to the
‘0’ mark if the input GAIN settings have been correctly set, to give maximum travel on the faders for smooth-
est control.
15 SUB TO MIX
This switch routes the Sub-L and Sub-R signals to the main mix.
16 STEREO/MONO
If this switch is depressed a mono sum of the sub-group signals is routed to the main mix.
17 MIX OUTPUTS
The Mix LEFT and RIGHT outputs are sent from the XLR sockets as balanced signals.
18 MONO OUTPUT
A mono sum of the mix left and right signals is output on this balanced 3-pole 6.35mm (1/4”) jack socket.
19 SUB OUTPUTS
The Sub-L and Sub-R signals are output on these balanced 3-pole 6.35mm (1/4”) jack sockets.
20 RECORD OUTPUTS
These two RCA outputs carry a copy of the MIX L and MIX R signals. They allow the use of a recording device,
e.g. DAT player, Minidisc, Cassette tape recorder etc.
AUX
21 AUX MASTERS
These controls set the output levels of the Aux Outputs. (1 & 2 on MFXi, 1, 2 & 3 on MPMi)
22 AFL
These After Fade Listen switches route their respective aux output signal to the headphones, control room output
and meters, where it replaces the MIX. The SOLO LED on the Master section illuminates to warn that an AFL
is active. There are 2 AFL switches for Auxes 1 &2 on the MFXi, and three for Auxes 1, 2 and 3 on the MPMi.
