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
RETURN
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 pro-
vides 15 dB of additional gain, the center “
U
”
mark is unity gain, and fully down is off.
Being that this controls only the return sig-
nals of external effects, with their levels
already determined by the channels’
EFX 1
(EXT)
knob, you’ll typically set this knob
near the “
U
” mark and then leave it alone.
EMAC EFFECTS
PROCESSOR
FOR THE IMPATIENT:
Set
EFX 2 SEND
and
TO MAIN MIX
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
,
DAMP-
ING/DEPTH
and
WIDE
. When you find
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 Engi-
neering Group. It provides 16 preset digital
effects algorithms for you to select. In addition
to the presets, there are two parameter con-
trols (
) 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)
controls 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 find 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 cen-
ter 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 find
out why.
TO MAIN MIX
Stereo signals (from
STEREO EFX RETURN 2
and
EMAC EFFECTS
PROCESSOR
) come
through this
TO MAIN
MIX
knob and continue
on to the
MAIN MIX
Fader
. They contain
the effects’ “wet” signals
and are 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 con-
trols only the return
