(14) HEADPHONE LED DISPLAY SELECT
BUTTONS

These buttons determine which output
signals are sent to the Headphones and
LED Level Meters. The Left Master or Aux
1 output signal can be selected for the left
earphone and bargraph. The Right Master
or Aux 2 output signal can be selected for
the left earphone and bargraph.

(15) DUAL CHANNEL LED LEVEL
METER

These 10-stage stereo LED meters can be
selected to display the relative output level
of the Left/Right Main Mix or the Aux 1/Aux
2 output level They can be used to maintain
proper levels in the master mix. The top red
Peak LED will light when the powered
output signal is just below clipping. It is
acceptable if the red LED lights
occasionally. If the red LED lights more than
occasionally, you should turn down the

Master Stereo Volume Faders (23)

to

avoid audible distortion and clipping, which
can cause damage to your speakers and
even the internal amplifier.

(16) POWER LED

These green LED’s will illuminate when the
unit is switched on.

(17) ECHO TIME SELECT BUTTONS

These UP and DOWN buttons select one of
16 preset time intervals of the built-in Echo
Effects DSP (Digital Sound Processor).
Setting 1 selects the shortest echo time to
emulate plate and doubling effects whereas
setting 16 enables the longest echo time for
stadium reverbs and delay sounds. Settings
around 5 - 7  emulate room and hall
reverbs by adjusting the channel

(18) ECHO EFFECTS DEPTH

This control adjusts the number of repeats
and feedback/depth of the echo effect. Turning the control
clockwise sets the repeats to maximum for lengthy echoes or
plate effects. Turning the control counter-clockwise sets less
repeats for doubling effects.

(19) ECHO EFFECTS EQ

The Echo Effects has it’s own High and Low EQ controls to
manipulate the effected sound as desired.

(20) EFFECTS MASTER FADER

This fader adjusts the final level of the effected tone applied to
the Master bus.

(21) AUX SEND 1 & 2 VOLUME FADERS

These faders adjust the final mixed level of the channel Aux 1
and Aux 2 auxiliary signals separately. These signals are then
sent to the 

Aux Send 1 & 2 Outputs (24)

respectively. These

signals can be sent to the input of an effects processor, multi-
track recorder, or used for any other line-level auxiliary purpose,
such as monitor feeds.
