ALT 3-4 INSERT socket

 

¼” jack TRS socket enabling the ALT signal to be routed to an external  

 

processor (like a graphic equaliser) and returned back. The signal to the  

 

socket is sourced before (pre) the ALT 3-4 fader. 

40 

FW / FS socket

 

This socket allows connection of a foot switch to turn on and off the  

 

signal from the DSP. This is useful between songs when a dry or clear  

 

voice is required with no effect. 

 

Note: units with the socket marked FW require a special footswitch  

 

(included with the product). Normal type foot switches will not work with  

 this 

model.

 

Units with the socket marked FS can be used with a standard latching,  

 

on/off type foot switch (not included with the product).

41 

CONTROL ROOM / L/R socket

 

¼” TRS jack, unbalanced, wired for stereo operation. The signal is  

 

controlled by the PHONES / CONTROL ROOM section.

 

This is a stereo signal suitable for connection to an amplifier and   

 speaker 

system.

42 

PHONES socket

 

 ¼” TRS stereo jack, unbalanced, wired for stereo operation.

 

The signal is controlled by the PHONES / CONTROL ROOM section.

 

This is a stereo signal suitable for headphones 100 ohms or greater i 

 impedence.
 

Lower impedence types can be used but volume maybe reduced.

43 

DSP (Digital Signal Processor)

 

a)

 Twin seven segment display. Shows the current effect selected. 

 

b)

 DSP input bargraph. Displays the signal going to the DSP section.  

 

The signal displayed should not exceed the orange LED marked 0.  

 

Increasing the signal beyond this point may distort the DSP effect.

 

If this happens reduce the individual channel AUX/DSP controls or the  

 

AUX/DSP SEND fader. See section 49a.

 

c)

 UP / DOWN buttons. Steps through the 32 DSP programs available.  

 

The program is automatically loaded when the button is released.

 

d)

 MUTE button. This button mutes the DSP signal. In this mode the  

 

twin seven segment display flashes to indicate a mute state. To return to  

 

normal operation press the MUTE button once again.

44 

Stereo 9 Band GRAPHIC EQUALISER

 

Provides 12dB of cut and boost over the following frequencies: 63Hz,  

 

125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz, 4kHz, 8kHz & 16kHz.

 

The EQ ACTIVE button activates the graphic equaliser. 

45 

MAIN MIX OUTPUT

 

a) XLR output. 3 pin XLR balanced.

 

Can be wired for balanced or unbalanced use.

 

b) JACK output. ¼” TRS jack balanced.

 

Can be wired for balanced or unbalanced use.

 

c) RECORD output. RCA phono unbalanced.

 

d) INSERT. ¼” jack TRS socket enabling the left-right MAIN MIX   

 

signal to be routed out to an external processor (like a graphic equal 

 

iser or speaker system controller) and returned back. The signal to the  

 

socket is sourced before (pre) the MAIN MIX fader.
