C/ROOM + PHONES

The C/ROOM + PHONES control is used to set the level sent to the control room outputs, and also to
the headphone jack.

+48V - Phantom Power LED

The +48V LED illuminates indicating that the 48 volt
phantom power is applied to the microphone pre-
amps enabling use with condenser microphones.  
The +48V LED will light up when the Phantom Power
switch (located on the rear panel) is switched to the
ON position.

POWER LED

The Power LED lights up to indicate that the main
POWER switch (located on the rear panel) is on.

Output Level Meter

The OUTPUT LEVEL METER allows you to monitor
the level of the signal which is being sent to the MIX
OUT jacks.

NOTE: To avoid distortion, adjust the L/R faders so
that the 0 indicator LED lights occasionally.

MIX/2T

The MIX/2T switch selects the signal source that you
are monitoring in the CONTROL ROOM and HEAD-
PHONE outputs.  When the switch is in the up posi-
tion, the signal source is from the LEFT/ RIGHT MIX
bus.  When the MIX/2T switch is in the down position,
the signal source is from the 2-TRACK input.

L MIX R

The master MIX level controls are the overall volume
control for the MIX bus. The MAIN level affects both
the Control room signal which is output to the speak-
ers and the line level signal which is output from the
MIX OUT jacks.
