PHANTOM
The
PHANTOM
switch activates the phantom power supply
for the XLR microphone inputs, which is required to operate
condenser microphones. The red
+48 V
LED lights up when
phantom power is on. As a rule, dynamic microphones can
still be used with phantom power switched on, provided
that they are wired in a balanced configuration. In case of
doubt, contact the microphone manufacturer!
Connect microphones before you switch on the
◊
phantom power supply. Please do not connect
microphones to the mixer (or the stagebox/wallbox)
while the phantom power supply is switched on. In
addition, the monitor/PA loudspeakers should be
muted before you activate the phantom power supply.
After switching on, wait approx. one minute to allow
for system stabilization.
Caution! You must never use unbalanced XLR
◊
connectors (PIN 1 and 3 connected) on the MIC
input connectors if you want to use the phantom
power supply.

Effects presets overview
Fig. 3.1:
24-BIT MULTI-EFFECTS PROCESSOR
Here you can find a list of all presets stored in the multi-effects
processor. This built-in effects module produces high-grade
standard effects such as reverb, chorus, flanger, delay and
various combination effects. The integrated effects module
has the advantage of requiring no wiring. This way, the danger
of creating ground loops or uneven signal levels is eliminated
at the outset, completely simplifying the handling.
These effect presets are designed to be added to dry signals.
If you move the FX TO MAIN control, you mix the channel
signal (dry) and the effect signal.
This also goes for mixing effects signals with the monitor
mix. The main difference is that the mix ratio is adjusted
using the FX TO MON control. Of course, a signal has to be
fed into the effects processor via the FX control in the
channel strip for both applications.
Connection socket for the footswitch
Fig. 3.2:
FOOTSWITCH
Connect a standard footswitch to the footswitch connector;
use this to switch the effects processor on and off. A flashing
dot at the bottom of the display indicates if the effects
processor is muted via the footswitch.
In chapter 4.2, you will find an illustration showing how
◊
to connect your footswitch correctly.

LEVEL
The LED level meter on the effects module should display
a sufficiently high level. Take care to ensure that the clip
LED only lights up at peak levels. If it is lit constantly, you
are overloading the effects processor and this could cause
unpleasant distortion. The FX SEND fader determines the
level that reaches the effects module.
PROGRAM
You can select the effect preset by turning the
PROGRAM
control. The display flashes the number of the current preset.
To recall the selected preset, press the button; the flashing
stops. You can also recall the selected preset using the
footswitch.
XPQ surround function
3.2
The surround function can be enabled/disabled with the
XPQ TO MAIN
switch. This is a built-in effect that widens
the stereo width, thus making the sound more lively and
transparent. Use the
SURROUND
control to determine the
intensity of this effect.

Rack mounting
4.1
The packaging of your mixing console contains two 19
"
rack
mount brackets which can be installed on the side panels of
the console.
Before you can attach the rack mount brackets to the mixing
console, you need to remove the screws holding the left and
right side panels. Use these screws to fasten the two brackets
onto the console, being careful to note that each bracket fits
a specific side. With the rack mount brackets installed, you
can mount the mixing console in a commercially available
19
"
rack. Be sure to allow for proper air flow around the unit,
and do not place the mixing console close to radiators or
power amps, so as to avoid overheating.
Only use the screws holding the mixing console side
◊
panels to fasten the 19" rack mounts.
Cable connections
4.2
You will need a large number of cables for the various
connections to and from the console. The following
illustrations show the wiring of these cables. Be sure to use
only high-grade cables.

Audio connections
4.2.1
Please use commercial RCA cables to wire the 2-track inputs
and outputs.
You can, of course, also connect unbalanced devices to the
balanced input/outputs. Use either mono plugs, or ensure
that ring and sleeve are bridged inside the stereo plug
(or pins 1 & 3 in the case of XLR connectors).
Caution! You must never use unbalanced XLR
◊
connectors (pins 1 and 3 connected) on the MIC inputs
if you intend to use the phantom power supply.
