Manual-

The 

LIMIT

 threshold control sets the maximum allowable 

MASTER

 signal level. The Limiter affects both House and 

Booth signals. 

This control is located on the rear panel and screw driver adjust to prevent tampering.

 Threshold range is 

–20

 

dBu to 

+20

 dBu. Center detent is 

0

 dBu. 

LIMIT

 threshold indicators are located on the front and rear panels.

Only 6 dB of post limiter makeup gain is available. To set the maximum system level, adjust the Limiter with 

HOUSE

 

and 

BOOTH

 

LEVEL

 controls set to maximum. Applications include limiting SPL, protecting amplifiers and speakers.

A note to DJs:

 If you are running gains high enough to cause hard limiting, faders and tone controls will not respond 

as expected. For example, if you run signal levels 10 dB over the Limit threshold, you must turn signal levels down 10 dB 

before you hear a reduction in level. 

The Limiter is a safety net designed to protect ears and equipment

. Under normal operating condi-

tions, the 

LIMIT

 indicator should only flash occasionally.

MASTER HOUSE & BOOTH OUTPUTS

The 

PEAK PROGRAM METER

 has two modes of operation. In 

LEFT / RIGHT

 mode 

(

up

) the meter indicates 

House Output

 level. In 

CUE / PGM

 mode (

down

), the top half of the 

meter shows the mono 

CUE 

level and the bottom half mono 

MASTER 

level. Set for 

CUE / 

PGM

, you can see the relative beat and level of the Master mix and Cue signals.

The 

PEAK PROGRAM METER

 has two sensitivity settings. Push the recessed 

METER 

SENSITIVITY

 switch 

in 

so that 0 dB = +4 dBu (less sensitive). Set the switch to the 

out 

posi-

tion so that 0 dB = -10 dBV (more sensitive). The meter is peak responding with a 1 second peak 

hold.

MASTER HOUSE

 

LEVEL & BOOTH LEVEL

 faders are VCA controlled for extended 

service life and reduced travel noise. 

The 

MASTER

 

BALANCE

 control determines the left/right balance of the 

MASTER

 mix. 

The control influences both 

HOUSE

 and 

BOOTH

 Outputs.

The 

MASTER

 

MONO

 switch is a recessed front panel switch used to set 

HOUSE

 and 

BOOTH

 Outputs for mono operation. The Green 

MONO

 indicator lights when the 

MONO

 

switch is engaged.

HOUSE

 

OUTPUT 

jacks give you two choices. The 

XLR Outputs have a maximum signal level of +20 dBu, 

and are the preferred connection to equalizers, crossovers 

or power amplifiers. The unbalanced RCA outputs have a 

maximum signal level of +16 dBu. Do not drive unbal-

anced cables longer than 10 feet (3 meters). 6 feet (2 

meters) or shorter is recommended. Both types may be 

used simultaneously

BOOTH

 outputs are balanced ¼" TRS Outputs with a maximum signal level of +20 dBu.

HEADPHONE MONITOR

MONITOR 

controls determine the source and level of the 

PHONES 

signal. With the 

MONITOR MONO

 switch 

out

, the 

PAN 

control fades 

between stereo 

CUE 

and stereo 

PGM 

signals. The 

CUE 

signal is selected 

using 

CUE CH 1

CH 2

CH 3

 and 

CH 4 

switches in any combination. 

The associated yellow indicator lights when a 

CUE 

is active. The 

PGM 

sig-

nal monitors the 

HOUSE 

Output (same signal going to the Master House). 

With 

MONITOR MONO

 selected (

in

), the 

PAN 

control fades between 

mono 

CUE

 (left ear) and mono 

PGM 

(right ear).
