MASTER BOOTH Level

This studio-grade control sets the BOOTH Output level.

BOOTH CUE/MASTER switch

The BOOTH CUE/MASTER switch selects MASTER

mix or CUE selection as its source. This allows CUE moni-
toring in the BOOTH without headphones.

PHONES SOURCE selector

The PHONES SOURCE selector determines the CUE

source to be monitored by the headphones (or the BOOTH if
CUE is selected as its source).

PHONES CUE/MASTER switch

The PHONES CUE/MASTER switch determines if the

MASTER or CUE selection is monitored by the headphones.
This switch does not affect the BOOTH source.

PHONES LEVEL

This studio-grade control determines the headphone

output level. If you are mixing with the MIX LEVEL controls
below “7”, be sure to turn the PHONES LEVEL down before
selecting CUE source as it may be 

much 

louder than the

Master Mix.

PHONES jack

Plug your headphones in here. The headphone output is

very low impedance and high current so 

do not short tip and

ring together or tie to ground,

 as is common with many low-

cost mono cups. Use resistors of 300 to 600 ohms in series
with each output for mono applications, although this
significantly reduces output power.

MASTER HOUSE Level

This studio-grade control sets the HOUSE Output level.

MASTER SIG/OL indicator

This dual color indicator helps set correct MASTER mix

levels. A flashing or steady green indication is optimal. The
red indicator may flash only briefly on rare occasion...regular
flashing or steady-on means that distortion is imminent and
Levels need reducing.

XP 2016 switch

This engages the optional XP 2016 external processor. If

the XP 2016 is not connected, the switch does nothing. If an
XP 2016 is connected and the switch is on (

up

), it routes the

MIX LEVEL Outputs to the XP 2016 and returns a stereo
MASTER signal to the MP 2016.

EFFECTS LOOP switch

This engages the EFFECTS LOOP when 

up

. If nothing is

connected to the EFFECTS LOOP RETURN, the switch has
no effect.

MONO/STEREO switch

This sets the MASTER mix signal to MONO or STEREO

operation. It effects both BOOTH and HOUSE Outputs.

TREBLE tone control

Allows adjusting the amplitude of frequencies above

4 kHz from +10 dB to OFF (full kill).

MID tone control

Allows adjusting the amplitude of frequencies between

300 Hz and 4 kHz from +10 dB to OFF (full kill).

BASS tone control

Allows adjusting the amplitude of frequencies below

300 Hz from +10 dB to OFF (full kill).

PWR indicator

This yellow indicator lights whenever AC power is

connected to the unit.
