2.1.3 Aux sends

    Aux sends take signals via a control from one or more 

channels and sum these signals to a so-called bus.  This 

bus signal is sent to an aux send connector and then 
routed, for example, to an active monitor speaker or an 

external effects device. The return from an external effect 

device can then be brought back into the console via the 

aux return connectors. 

    For situations which require effects processing, the aux 
sends are usually switched post-fader so that the effects 
volume in a channel corresponds to the position of the 
channel fader. if this were not the channel would remain 

audible even when the fader is turned to zero. When setting 

up a monitor mix, the aux sends are generally switched 
to pre-fader, i.e. they operate independently of the position 
of the channel fader.

    Both aux sends are mono, are sourced after the equalizer and offer up to +15dB gain.

controls in the channel strips

    Aux send 1 can be switched pre-fader and is thus particularly suitable for setting up monitor mixes. 

AUX 1 (MON)

PRE

    When the PRE switch is pressed, aux send 1 is sourced pre-fader.

    The aux send labeled FX is for sending to effects devices and is thus set up to be post-fader.

Aux 2 (FX)

If you press the MUTE/ALT 3-4 switch, aux send 1 is muted, provided that it is switched post-
fader. However, this does not affect the aux send 2 

If you wish to use the internal effects processor, the STEREO AUX RETURN 2 connectors 
should not be is use.

You can also connect an external effects processor to aux send 2, however the internal 
effects module will  be muted.

    The MUTE LED indicates that the relevant channel is 
diverted to the submix (Alt 3-4 bus).

MUTE-LED

    You can use the MUTE/ALT 3-4 switch  to driver the 
channel from the main mix bus to the Alt 3-4 bus. This 
mutes the channel from the main mix.

MUTE/ALT 3-4

    The PAN control determines the position of the channel 

signal within the stereo image. This control features a 

constant-power characteristic, which means the signal is 

always maintained at a constant level, irrespective o posi-

tion in the stereo panorama.

2.4.1 main mix outputs, Alt 3-4 outputs and control room outputs

MAIN OUTPUTS

    The MAIN outputs carry the MAIN MIX signal and are on balanced XLR connectors with a nominal 
level of +4dBu.

ALT 3-4 OUTPUTS

    The ALT 3-4 output are unbalanced and carry the signals of the channels that you have assigned to 
this group using the MUTE switch. This can be used to route a subgroup to a further mixing console for 
example, or it could be used as a recording output working in tandem with the main output. This means 
you could record to four tracks simultaneously. The icing on the cake, so to speak, is that you could 
connect Y-cables to these four outputs and then connect your 8-track recorder in such a way that you 
have 2 x 4 tracks. (E.g. Channel 1 feeds track 1and track 2, etc.). In the first recording pass, you record 
on track 1, 3.5 and 7 and in the second pass, on tracks 2, 4, 6 and 8.

CONTROL ROOM OUTPUT

    The control room output is normally connected to the monitor system in the control room and provides 
the stereo mix or, when required, the solo signal.

FUSE HOLDER

    The console is connect to the mains via  the cable supplied

which meets the required safety standards. blown fuses must
only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating. 

    The mains connection is via a cable with IEC mains con-

nector. An appropriate mains cable is supplied with equipment.

POWER

Use the POWER switch to power up the mixing the console.

PHANTOM

    The PHANTOM switch activates the phantom power supply for the XLR connectors of the mono chan-
nels which is required to operate condenser microphones. The red +48 VLED lights up when phantom 
power is on. As a rule, dynamic microphones can still be used with phantom power switched on, provided 
that they are wired in a balanced configuration. In case of doubt, contact the microphone manufacturer!
