LEX FX

This control routes the post-fade, post-EQ channel signal to the Lexicon FX

bus, which feeds the internal LEXICON Digital Effects Processor. The knob

should be turned down when not in use. The output of the LEXICON unit

feeds the Stereo Mix directly or may be mixed to the Aux 1output (see

Master section, no. 4).

PAN

This control sets the amount of the channel signal feeding the Left and Right

MIX buses, allowing you to move the source smoothly across the stereo

image.  When the control is turned fully right or left you are able to route

the signal at unity gain to either left or right outputs individually.

PFL

When the latching PFL switch is pressed, the pre-fade, post-EQ signal is fed

to the headphones and meters, where it replaces the Stereo Mix as the nor-

mal monitor source.  The PFL ACTIVE LED on the Master section illumi-

nates to warn that the headphones and meters are now carrying a PFL sig-

nal.  This is a useful way of listening to any required input signal without

interrupting the main mix, for making adjustments or tracing problems.  The

monitors and meters revert to stereo Mix when the PFL switch is released.

CHANNEL FADER

The 60mm FADER allows precise balancing of the various source signals

being mixed to the Master Section.  You get most control when the input

Sensitivity is set up correctly, giving full travel on the fader.  See the `Setting

Up & Troubleshooting’ section on page 10 for help in setting a suitable sig-

nal level.
