Effects processing and GEQs
The XL8 contains 16 mono Klark Teknik (KT) GEQs and 16 effects processors as
standard.
The 16 effects processors can be freely chosen from:
• KT DN780 reverb.
• Stereo delay.
• Stereo flanger.
• Stereo phaser.
The 16 mono KT GEQs can be patched into any output. There are many patching
options for the effects processors:
• Assign to any insert send/return.
• Assign to any pool, in or out.
• Assign FX out to aux return.
• Assign FX in to aux send (post-fade).
• Assign FX out to bus direct in.
• Assign FX in to channel direct out.
Every XL8 comes supplied with a KT DN9331 RAPIDE motorised fader GEQ controller.
This unit provides rapid adjustments of the graphics with real hardware, and not a
mouse and screen. The graphic channel is selected either by the control centre’s SOLO
button (solo tracking system (STS)) or by buttons on the RAPIDE itself.
