YORKVILLE PGM8, Owner'S Manual, Page: 9 / 28

Like the audio compressor on the input channels there is an audio compressor control-
ling the signal to the internal effects generator. This compressor acts like an automatic
gain circuit making sure that the optimum audio signal enters the internal effects gen-
erator. If the EFX Send Clip LED blinks occasionally then you have the maximum amount of
compression. If the Clip LED remains on for longer periods then you should turn down the
EFX Send level until the LED blinks occasionally.
It is possible to use the internal digital effects and an external effects unit at the same
time. You can set one effects unit for reverb, and the other unit for a special effect not
used often like echo. Connect a cable from the EFX Send jack to the input of your effects
unit. Then connect a cable from the output of your effects unit into the Stereo Return
jacks. You will use the Stereo Return fader to control the level of the external effects.
5. Footswitch Jack
Connect a standard footswitch to the Footswitch jack (e.g. Yorkville Apex model AFS-
1) to switch the internal effects on and off. The EFX Mute LED will illuminate when
the internal effects are muted ('off') by the Footswitch.
6. MON Fader
Audio signals from each channel MON level control arrive at the MON fader. The MON
fader adjusts the level of each channel’s signal into the monitor mix. From the MON
fader the audio signal arrives at the MON output phone jack on the front panel. The
shaded area on the MON fader front panel graphic is the fader’s usual operating posi-
tion. If the MON fader’s knob is up at 10 or down at -18 you may want to check the
position of the channel Gain or Mon controls to be sure that they are not turned to
the extreme of their setting range.
7. MAIN Fader
Audio signals from each
channel Pan level control arrive
at the MAIN fader. The MAIN
fader adjusts the level of each
channel’s signal onto the main
mix. From the MAIN fader the
audio signal passes through
the Main EQ to the MAIN Out
phone jacks on the front panel
and to the MAIN Out XLR jacks
on the rear panel. The shaded
area on the MAIN fader front
panel graphic is the fader’s
usual operating position. If the
MAIN fader’s knob is up at 10
or down at -30 you may want
to check the position of the
channel Gain or Channel Fader
controls to be sure that they
are not turned to the extreme
of their setting range.
To ensure maximum sig-
nal head room and clar-
ity, set the channel Gain
and Fader controls first
for a good sig nal without
clipping, then set the
master for the overall
volume desired.
