AUX 1/AUX 2 button: This button toggles between the stereo mini jack
(AUX 1) and the stereo RCA inputs (AUX 2).

The VOLUME control adjusts the gain of the stereo channel signal in the
LEFT/MAIN and RIGHT MON outputs.

using a cable with 1/8“ TRS mini jack.
4)
Stereo RCA sockets: Connect an external line source (e. g. a CD player)

Description of the Multi Effects Processor
Roadtrip 508 is equipped with a multi effects processor with 16 preset
algorithms. You can choose between various Reverb/Hall algorithms
(preset 1 to 8), Delays (preset 9 – 10), a Flanger (preset 11) and a Cho-
rus (preset 12), two effects combining Chorus and Reverb (preset 13
– 14), an effect for voice cancelation (cancelation of the mid signal,
preset 15) and a rotary speaker emulation (preset 16). The active preset
is fed via the FX controls per channel.
1)
Preset selector: With this selector you can choose the desired algo-
rithm from the 16 presets.
2)
FX ON/OFF button: This button enables the output of the multi
effect processor in the main bus. The corresponding LED lights red
when the processor is activated. In the OFF position the effect is
not audible in the main bus.
3)
FX RETURN control: This knob controls the level of the effects pro-
cessor in the main buss and therefore the balance with the input
channels.
4)
PARAMETER control: This control varies one specific parameter per
algorithm
Description of the Outputs
In the output section of Roadtrip 508 you set the operating mode and
control the output level of the Class D amplifier to the connected spea-
ker modules. The output level is displayed on the corresponding meters.
Via the 12 Volt Lamp BNC socket you can connect a goose-neck light
(not included) to illuminate the user panel of Road Trip in low light con-
ditions.
The speaker sockets as well as the mains socket and the power switch
are located on the rear of the mixer/amplifier unit. For hook up instruc-
tions refer to the next section
1)
LOW CUT button: This button activates a 120Hz high pass filter.
The high pass filter eliminates low frequency noise in the main
buss and can protect the speaker from overload. The high pass
filter is especially useful for speech or vocal signals.
2)
AMP MODE button: With this button you choose the desired rou-
ting in the main buss and at the same time toggle the routing in
the channels. For additional information refer to the next section.
3)
LEFT/MAIN VOLUME and RIGHT/MAIN VOLUME controls: With
these two controls, you can individually adjust the level in the
main buss that is sent to the internal Class D power amplifier.
