59. CR / Phones
As one might expect, this knob controls the levels
of both the stereo control room and the headphones.
Make sure that this knob is fully off [counter-clockwise]
before selecting or adding a new source.
Whatever the selection, the control room outputs
may also be used for other applications. The sound
quality is just as impeccable as the main outputs.
It may be used as an additional main mix output
and this one will have its own level control.
However, be aware that if a solo switch is engaged,
the mix will be interrupted:
When a channel's solo switch is engaged, any existing
selection is replaced by the solo signal, appearing at
the control room outputs, phones and at the left meter.
The audible solo levels are then controlled by the
control room knob. The solo levels appearing on
the meters are not controlled by the control room
knob – you would not want that, anyway. What you
do want to see is the actual channel level on the meters
regardless of how loud the control room and phones
output levels might be.
Control room is available on the ProFX16v2,
ProFX22v2 and ProFX30v2.
Solo signals reaching the headphones
and monitor outputs are not affected by
the channel level or main level; therefore,
turn down the phones level and monitor level first,
as soloed channels may be loud.
60. Subs Assign Switches
[ProFX16v2, ProFX22v2, ProFX30v2]
One popular use of the subs is to use them as
master faders for a group of channels on their way to the
main mix fader. Let us say you have a drum kit hogging
up seven channels and you are going to want to control
their group volume more conveniently. You do not want
to try that with seven hands or seven fingers, so just
unassign these channels from the main mix and reas-
sign them to subs 1-2, engage the assign to main mix left
on sub 1 and assign to main mix right on sub 2.
Now you may ride the entire drum mix with two
faders – subs 1 and 2.
If you engage just one assign to main mix button per
group (left or right), the signal sent to the main mix
fader will be the same level as the sub outs. If you want
the subgroup to appear in the center of the main mix,
engage both the assign to main mix left and right but-
tons. The signal will be sent to both sides, and reduced
in level by 3 dB like a pan pot, so the overall level is the
same, whether the group is assigned to main left, main
right, or both.
61. Sub 1-4 Faders
[ProFX16v2, ProFX22v2, ProFX30v2]
As you might expect, these faders control the levels
of the signals sent to the sub out jacks. All channels
that are assigned to subs, not muted, and not turned
fully down will appear at the sub outs.
The sub signal is off when its fader is fully down,
the “U” marking is unity gain, and fully up provides
10 dB additional gain. Remember that if you are treating
two subs as a stereo pair, sub 1 and 2 for example,
make sure that both sub faders “ride” together to
maintain the left/right balance.
62. Main Mix
This stereo fader allows you to adjust the levels
of the main mix signals sent to the XLR and 1/4" main
line-level outputs and the tape outputs.
This gives you the ultimate feeling of power and
control over the sound levels sent to your audience.
Adjust this control carefully, with your good eye on
the meters to check against overloading, and your
good ear to the levels to make sure your audience
(if any) is happy.
The main mix signals are off with the fader fully
down, the “U” marking is unity gain, and fully up
provides 10 dB of additional gain. This additional
gain will typically never be needed, but once again,
it’s nice to know that it’s there. The fader is stereo,
as it affects both the left and right of the main mix
equally. This is the ideal control to slowly bring down
at the end of a song (or quickly in the middle of a song
if the need ever arises).
This control does not affect the mon send or FX send
outputs.
