32. MONITOR MASTER LEVEL

This knob controls the overall level of  the 

monitor mix, and affects the monitor meter 
(30), monitor send line-level output (9), and 
the speaker-level output B (3) if the internal 
amplifi er is playing the monitor mix. The level 
adjustment occurs before the monitor EQ 
(29) in the signal path.

This gives you ultimate control over your 

stage monitors. Adjust it carefully, with your 
good eye on the monitor meter (30) to 
guard against clipping. Check that your 
band are happy with the levels. A happy 
band makes for a happy you, and you may 
even get paid. The control does not affect 
the main mix level.

The monitor mix signals are off with 

the level fully down, the “U” marking is 
unity gain, and fully up provides 12 dB of 
additional gain. 

33. SERIES 69 EQ

If you are using TAPCO Series 69 passive 

speakers such as the wonderful 6912, 
6915, and 6925, then press this switch for 
enhanced clarity and low-frequency 
response.

If you are not using TAPCO speakers, 

then press it anyway and listen for an 
improvement. The circuit does not affect 
the line-level outputs. Only loudspeakers 
connected to the rear panel speaker-level 
outputs (3) will be affected. 

Internal Effects

The internal effects processor is a mono-

in, stereo-out effects processor, with 16 
custom presets. It is fed by adjusting the FX 
control (18) on each channel.

The output from the processor can be 

added to the main mix and/or monitor mix 
by adjusting the FX to main (27) and FX to 
monitor (31) controls.

Each preset has been carefully hand-

crafted by our Tapwegian engineers for 
your enjoyment and listening pleasure. This 
processor is also doing the calculations that 
hold together the very fabric of the lunch-
time continuum. If your lunchtimes seem to 
fl y by, choose a delay preset 11 or higher.

34. PRESET SELECTOR

Rotate this control to select one of the 

16 effects. When you stop the rotation, 
that preset will be loaded and become 
operational. The different presets are 
described in loving detail in the table on the 
next page.

35. OL LED

This LED illuminates when the effects 

processor is being overloaded with too 
strong a signal (OL). Turn down the channel 
aux send FX level (18) controls if it is.

LED is short for light-emitting-doohicky.
