contain the sum of all signals sent from the Aux controls on the input channels. The Aux Master Sends are ¼” 3 pole jacks.
Digital Effects and Control:
(Only for Platinum MKIII & Platinum 12Fx)
- The PLATINUM MKIII has a high
quality stereo processor that can provide many different Fx & delay effects. In addition, the user may also choose from
pre-set EQ curves with the EQ button. The REGEN fader enables the user to control how long echoes take to die away
on Delay settings.
EFX TYPE / DATA ENTRY CONTROL:
Normally this is used to select a different effect pre-set. Turning the control
scrolls through the available effects, the effect number is shown on the display. The effect selected when the console is
switched off is recalled when the console is turned back on.
AUX MUTE SWIT CH AND LED: (Only for Platinum MKIII) -
Mutes the AUX send output. A yellow LED indicates
that the AUX send is muted. This is used to disable any external equipment connected via AUX send.
DELAY SWITCH AND LED: When the delay button is pressed the green LED lights & the display shows delay effects.
REGEN can be activated in this mode.
STANDBY SWITCH AND LED: (Only for Platinum MKIII) - Mutes the Left-Right & MON (monitor) outputs. This is
particularly useful for turning off the sound system without disturbing any other control settings. When standby is selected
red STANDBY LED is illuminated.
PEAK LED:
Indicates the input to the effects section is overloading. If this occurs, the channel FX controls Should be
backed off until the light no longer flashes. The effects processor has a “soft overload” input stage to provide a safety
margin before distortion becomes audible.

fuse clip and replace the fuse only with a fuse of same voltage and rating. If the fuse blows again after replacement,
hand over the unit to qualified service personnel.
MON (MONITOR) OUTPUT:
This ¼” 3 pole jack socket is used to monitor the output of the mixer to the amplifier or
powered speakers.
The output level is determined by the mono fader.

small club or pub gigs where you need a simple system.
