enable users to have a secondary signal for whatever purpose
necessary, whether it be for connecting to signal processors or
to active monitors.

the corresponding AUX outputs, the signal of which is initially taken
from each channel’s individual AUX send controls. Pushing the
accompanying SOLO button will send the three AUX sends to the
Control Room / Phones mix (pre or post fader, depending on the
Solo / PFL button) and be accompanied by an illuminated LED.

Main mix.
Graphic Equalizer
The 9-band graphic equalizer will allow users to alter the various
frequencies of the audio in their Main or AUX 1 mixes, for reducing
feedback and adapting audio to suit room acoustics.
43. Equalizer
This stereo 9-band equalizer allows users to cut and boost
the indicated frequencies by 12 dB. When the FBD (feedback
detection) button is in the ‘in’ position, these sliders will light up
to indicate that the corresponding frequency may be causing
feedback or have the potential to cause feedback. This allows
users to reduce the level to avoid feedback from occuring.
44. FBD In Button
Push this button to activate the feedback detection circuit. This
allows the sliders on the EQ to illuminate problem frequencies.
45. Main / AUX Button

48. Sig and Clip Indicators
Located within the Digital Effect Display are Clip and Sig LEDs.
The Sig LED will light up when any signal is received by the effect
processor, and the Clip LED will light up shortly before excessive
signals are dynamically clipped. If the Clip LED lights up too often,
it may be advisable to turn down one or all EFX controls on input
channels to ensure the signal level is not too high.
