32. Sub Out Jacks
[ProFX12v3, ProFX16v3,
ProFX22v3, ProFX30v3]
These 1/4" jacks are usually patched to the inputs
of a multitrack deck or to secondary amplifiers in
a complex installation.
There are two sub out jacks on the ProFX12v3
and four sub out jacks on the ProFX16v3,
ProFX22v3 and ProFX30v3.
33. Control Room Out Jacks
[ProFX10v3, ProFX12v3, ProFX16v3,
ProFX22v3, ProFX30v3]
These 1/4" jacks are usually patched to the inputs
of a control room amplifier or a headphone distribution
amplifier.
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 output level might be.
The signal leaving the CR outs may
also accept a post-blend mix of the inputs
and USB return if the “To Phones / Control
Room” switch is engaged. More information about
this switch (and the “Blend” knob) may be found
on page 20. Because there are no control room outputs
on the ProFX6v3, there is a “To Phones” only switch.
34. Phones Jack
This 1/4" TRS connector supplies the output to stereo
headphones.
The phones volume is controlled with the phones
knob located above the main mix fader (except
for the ProFX6v3, in which case it’s directly
to the left of the main mix knob).
Whenever a solo switch is engaged, you will only hear
the soloed channel(s) in the headphones. This gives
you the opportunity to audition the channels before
they are added to the main mix. (Solo signals reaching
the headphones are not affected by the channel level or
main level, therefore turn down the phones level first,
as soloed channels may be loud.)
The phones output follows standard conventions:
Tip = Left channel
Ring = Right channel
Sleeve = Common ground
WARNING: The headphone amp is loud
and can cause permanent hearing damage.
Even intermediate levels may be painfully
loud with some headphones. BE CAREFUL! Always
turn the phones level control all the way down before
connecting headphones or pressing a solo switch,
or doing anything new that may affect the headphone
volume. Then turn it up slowly as you listen carefully.
The signal leaving the phones jack may
also accept a post-blend mix of the inputs
and USB return if the “To Phones / Control
Room” switch is engaged. More information about
this switch (and the “Blend” knob) may be found
on page 20.
35. Pencil Sharpener
Need to take notes during a recording or live
performance, but the pencil needs to be sharpened?
This works like any ’ol electric pencil sharpener. Place
your pencil in here to sharpen it and start writing notes!
