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
control, 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 ampli-
fi ers, thereby allowing you to control levels
independently via the
SUB
Faders .
Alternatively, use the
MAIN OUT
to
feed the amplifi ers 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 amplifi er
inputs. 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 intended 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.
