STEREO RETURNS

There are four Stereo Returns, which have similar controls but different routing

configurations to provide the maximum flexibility.  Each Return has an

unbalanced stereo input on 3-pole ’A’ gauge (TRS) jacks.  If a mono source is

to be used, plugging into the Left jack automatically feeds the signal equally to

both sides of the Return.

1 LEVEL

The LEVEL control sets the overall signal level, and enough gain is available to

match both +4dBu and -10dBV sources.  Rotation clockwise increases the gain

of the input.

2 AUXILIARY SENDS

Each Return may access Aux 1 (Pre-fade) and one of the post-fade sends.

Returns A & C feed to Aux 3 and Returns B & D feed to Aux 4.  The controls

should be turned fully anticlockwise when not in use.

3 BALANCE

This control sets the amount of the channel signal feeding the pairs of Groups

or Mix, allowing you to balance the source in the stereo image.  When the control

is turned fully right or left you feed only that side of the signal to the destination

selected by the Routing switch (see below).  

4 PFL

When the PFL (Pre-Fade-Listen) switch is pressed a mono sum of the pre-fade

signal is fed to the headphones or monitor output, replacing the selected source.

The PFL LED on the Master section illuminates to warn that the headphones,

monitor and right bargraph meter are now responding to the PFL/AFL selection.

5 ROUTING

This switch selects either a pair of Groups (switch released) or Mix (switch

pressed) as the destination for the Stereo Return signal after it has passed through

the BAL control.  Returns A & B route to Groups 1 & 2, and Returns C & D route

to Groups 3 & 4.  The left return signal feeds the odd-numbered Group or Mix

Left, while the right return signal feeds the even-numbered Group or Mix Right.
