UTILITY OUT

The stereo signal at these TRS jacks is the

same as at the 

MAIN OUT

 

, but with one

important difference:

After the 

MAIN MIX

 Fader 

, the mix is

sent through the 

UTILITY OUT LEVEL

 

 con-

trol, allowing you to set levels as desired
without disturbing the main mix level.

SUB OUT

In live sound applications, these TRS jacks

can be patched into one or two stereo amplifi-
ers, thereby allowing you to control levels
independently via the 

SUB

 Faders 

.

Alternatively, use the 

MAIN OUT

 

 to

feed the amplifiers and one stereo 

SUB OUT

 pair to feed a recorder.

In studio applications, these outputs can be

used as four separate paths to feed four tracks
of a multitrack recorder.

See 

ASSIGN

 

 and 

SUB ASSIGN

 

 for

more information.

AUX SEND

To create a stage monitor mix, with levels

set independently from the main mix, patch
these TRS jacks into your monitor amplifier in-
puts. These jacks can also be used to feed the
inputs of an effects device.

See 

AUX

 

 and 

PRE FADER

 

 for more

information.

EFX SEND

The signal at these TRS outputs is post-

fader only, so they cannot be used as
traditional stage monitor cues. They’re in-
tended to patch into effects device inputs;
hence the name “EFX.” See 

EFX 1 (EXT)

 

and 

EFX 2 (INT)

 

 for more information.

Note:

 The 

EFX 2

 signal path also feeds the

CFX mixer’s internal 

EMAC EFFECTS PRO-

CESSOR

 

 inputs. If you’re using 

EMAC

 and

just one outboard processor, patch that proces-
sor via 

EFX SEND 1

 for independent control of

the effects send level.

We recommend going into a stereo reverb in

mono and returning in stereo. We have found
that on most “stereo” reverbs the second input
just ties up an extra 

EFX

 send and adds noth-

ing to the sound. There are exceptions, so feel
free to try it both ways. If your effects device is
true stereo all the way through, use 

EFX SEND 1

to feed its left input and 

EFX SEND 2

 to feed

the right input.

STEREO EFX RETURN

Patch the outputs of external parallel ef-

fects devices to these inputs.

Note:

 The 

EFX 2

 return signal is combined

with the signal from the CFX mixer’s internal

EMAC EFFECTS PROCESSOR

 

. If you’re

using 

EMAC

 and just one outboard processor,

patch the outboard processor via 

EFX 1 RETURN

for independent control of the effects return level.

When connecting a mono device (just one

cord), always use the 

LEFT (MONO)

 input and

plug nothing into the 

RIGHT

 input. A trick

called “jack normalling” will cause the signal to
appear on both sides.
