AUX MASTER SEND  

Aux send signals are derived by each 

channel’s 

AUX

 

 knob, mixed together, then 

sent through this 

AUX MASTER SEND

 knob. 

Turned fully up, it provides 15 dB of additional 
gain, the center “

U

” mark is unity gain, and 

fully down is off. 

Typically, when the talent (or lack thereof) 

wants a louder monitor mix, this is the knob to 
crank up — watch out for feedback!

EFX 1 MASTER SEND 

Effects send signals are derived by each 

channel’s 

EFX 1 (EXT)

 

 knob, mixed to-

gether, then sent through this 

EFX 1 MASTER 

SEND

 knob. Turned fully up, it provides 15 dB 

of additional gain, the center “

U

” mark is unity 

gain, and fully down is off. 

Being that this controls only post-fader 

sends destined for outboard effects devices, 
you’ll typically set this knob near the “

U

” mark 

and then leave it alone.

EFX 1 RETURN 

Stereo signals come through the 

EFX 1 RE-

TURN

 and continue on to the 

MAIN MIX

 Fader 

. They contain the effects’ “wet” signals to 

be mixed together with the channels’ “dry” 
original signals. Turned fully up, it provides 15 
dB of additional gain, the center “

U

” mark is 

unity gain, and fully down is off. 

Being that this controls only the return 

signals of external effects, with their levels al-
ready determined by the channels’ 

EFX 1 (EXT)

 

 knob, you’ll typically set this knob near the 

U

” mark and then leave it alone.

TIENT:

at the center “

U

” mark. 

Assuming you have your 
basic mix up and run-
ning, turn up the 

EFX 2 

(INT)

 

, per channel. 

This feeds in individual 
amounts of channel sig-
nals to the 

EMAC

 inputs 

— you should be hearing 
the effects as you do this. 

Next, goof around 

with the various param-
eters: Preset Select 

TIME/RATE

 

DAMPING/DEPTH

 

 and 

WIDE

 

. When you fi nd an effect you like, jot 

down the parameters, then goof around some 
more. 

To mute these effects, engage 

BYPASS

 

 

(or your foot switch if connected to 

EFX FOOT 

SWITCH

 

). To send these effects to the 

stage monitor cues, turn up the 

EFFECTS TO 

MONITOR

 

 knobs. 

FOR THE CURIOUS:
EMAC™ stands for Extended Multiply and 

Accumulate, which is a proprietary 32-bit digital 
stereo processor developed by our Digital En-
gineering Group. It provides 16 preset digital 
effects algorithms for you to select. In addi-
tion to the presets, there are two parameter 
controls (

) you can adjust to change the 

sound and make it unique for your particular 
application.

EFX 2 SEND  

This controls the signal level being sent to 

the input of the 

EMAC

 module (and to the 

EFX 

SEND 2

 

 jack). Use the 

EFX 2 (INT)

 

 con-

trols on the individual channels to adjust the 
amount of each channel’s signal you want to 
go to the 

EMAC

. Leave 

EFX 2 SEND

 set at the 

center “

U

” position. If you fi nd that you’re not 

getting enough of the effect in the main mix, 
make sure that the 

TO MAIN MIX

 

 control 

is turned up at least to unity (the center detent 
position). It’s okay to turn up the 

EFX 2 SEND

 

some more if you need to. Just make sure the 

ZERO LEVEL

 

 LED never lights more than 

occasionally. Read on to fi nd out why.

TO MAIN MIX

Stereo signals (from 

STEREO EFX RETURN 2

 

 and 

EMAC EFFECTS 

PROCESSOR

 

) come 

through this 

TO MAIN

 knob and continue 

on to the

Fader 

. They contain 

the effects’ “wet” signals 
and are mixed together 
with the channels’ “dry”

fully up, it provides 15 dB
