The
MAIN EFX
master control regulates the amount of signal going from the output of
the internal
DIGITAL EFFECTS PROCESSOR
to the
MAIN
mixing
bus
where it is mixed
with the dry signals direct from the channels. It controls overall effects intensity on the
MAIN
output signal and
RECORD OUT
signal as well as through the main PA speakers.

These jacks can serve a variety of
patching and routing purposes. The
MAIN LINE OUT
is positioned in
the signal
path
after the
MP8
DX
’s
main graphic equalizer
and is
therefore regulated by it (i.e. it is
post-EQ
).
The main
bus
signals are
available at
line
level (
not
speaker
level, use the
SPEAKER
outputs on
the back panel to drive speakers)
from the
MAIN LINE OUT
jack.
Taking a signal from this jack has
no
effect on the operation of the
MP8
DX
’
s
built-in
power amplifier. It is
therefore possible to feed an external
power amplifier or even several,
interconnected power amps, with the
MAIN
output signal while the
internal
power
amplifier is also functioning (although it is not necessary to have speakers connected -
e.g. if you want to use the unit strictly as a mixer).
The
AMP A IN
jack is a direct input to the MAIN
400 Watt
power amplifier, it is referred to as
AMP
A.
An alternative use for the
AMP A IN
jack is as a patching input. Because this is a
switching
jack, when you plug into it, you interrupt the
internal
flow of the signal going from
the output of the Main mixing
bus
to the input of the
built-in
400 Watt
power amp. This allows
you to insert signal control devices such as an
élite
processor, an additional equalizer, or a
compressor/limiter into the
Main
signal path. It is even possibleto connect another mixer to the
MP8
DX
’
s
power amplifiers via the
AMP A IN
jack. This
slaves
the amplifier to that mixer’s signals
(i.e. it no longer receives the
built-in
mixer’s signals), which means that you could use the
built-
in
mixer to do another, totally separate mixing job. For example, you could patch the
MP8
DX
’s
MAIN output to an input on another mixer connected to amps driving a
PA
speaker system
while using the
MP8
DX
’s
internal
A
amp to power control room speakers.
