respective circuits or busses. Each control can
rece ive and process a signal from a different
source or point within the channel's s ignal path.
It, f) AUXiliary LINE and POST Select
Switches
These two switches determine the source of the
signals sent to the AUX controls. The Ll N E
switch, located beneath the AUX
1
control, al­
lows t he selection of s ignal betwe en either the
Ll N E I Nput or the channel. The Ll N E signal can
be selected even if the channel signal is derived
from the Ml C I Nput. If the channel signal
is selected, the signal is taken j ust after, or
"post", the EQualizer. Additionally, there
is an i nternal jumper provided to enable the
channel signal to be derived ahead of or "pre"
EO. Once the LINE switch has been set, the
signal flows to the AUX
1
control and to the
POST switch. This switch offers the choice of
either the signal selected by the LINE switch or
a
signa l taken from the channel after (post) the
FADER and ON switch. The signal selected here
is sent to AU X 2. Thus, by us ing thes e two
switches, AUX
1
can be L I N E, CHAN N E L pre­
EO or CHAN N E L post-EO, while AUX 2 can be
the same as AUX 1 or can be CHANN E L post­
FAD E R .
a . Pre - Pre-fader signal i s taken from the
channel before the fader, so it is not
affected by the channel's fader setting,
making it useful for stable Cue mixes.
b. Post - Post-fader signal is taken from the
channel at a point right after the ON
switch. Because post-fader signals are
subject to any change in the channel's fader
setting, they are usually preferred for
effects or echo mixes.
c. L I N E (Tape Input - Channel
1·8
Only) -
Selects the TAPE Return Input if no con­
nector is connected to the L I N E I N put
terminal. It is th� preferred s ignal to s et up
