Controls and Functions

42 - PHONES – control knob 

This control adjusts the overall level of the 

Headphone Output.

43 – PFL DEFEAT – switch 

You can defeat all the channels in PFL by using the 

PFL DEFEAT switch. When the switch is pressed 

down it will illuminate, indicating the PFL and AFL 

are temporarily turned off. At that point you will 

hear the MAIN mix in the headphones until the PFL 

DEFEAT is turned off and you will now hear the SOLO 

bus again in the headphones. 

USB I/O Section

The L series consoles incorporate a sophisticated 

USB I/O with on board AD and DA converters 

providing a digital audio path for connecting to a 

PC running most any recording and/or playback 

software. The INPUT and ASSIGN switch give you 

added flexibility in routing the digital audio signal to 

and from the PC.

44 – SEND – USB input send switch

The USB INPUT switch allows you to select one of 

two stereo (or two channel) signal paths to feed the 

USB output to send to the connected PC. When the 

INPUT switch is in the up position, the USB signal will 

feed from the MAIN left right mix. When the INPUT 

switch is in the down position, the USB signal will 

feed from the AUX 1 and AUX 2 buses which enables 

you to create a unique mix to send to the PC.

45 – RETURN – USB return switch

The USB RETURN switch allows you to select one of 

two stereo return paths to receive USB audio from 

the connected PC. When the ASSIGN switch is in the 

up position, the USB signal will return to the MAIN 

mix bus. When the ASSIGN switch is in the down 

position, the USB signal will return to the last pair 

of stereo channels which enables you to playback a 

recorded

track in the MAIN mix, and you can use the channels 

AUX sends to feed any of the AUX buses. This will 

let you hear the USB playback tracks in the monitor 

mixes.

46 – MONITOR – USB headphone enable switch

Press the USB MONITOR switch down if you want 

to hear the signal from the USB return in the 

headphones.

Meter Section

47 - CLIP LEDs

The left and right CLIP LED’s illuminate when the 

signal from the selected bus is beginning to reach 

a level where distortion occurs. If the CLIP lights 

stay on, your mix is too hot and you need to lower 

the level control. It is okay for the PEAK light to 

occasionally light, however they should go off 

quickly and not stay on.

48 - LED VU METER 

The OUTPUT LEVEL METER allows you to monitor 

the level of the signal, which is being sent to the 

MIX OUT jacks. Depending on the position of the 

Meter select switch, the meters will display the MAIN 

MIX with PFL and AFL, or display the level from the 

GROUP 1–4 outputs.

49 - PFL/AFL LED - indicator 

The LED will illuminate whenever any PFL or AFL 

switch is pressed.

50 – Meter select switch

The Meter select switch allows you to configure the 

Meters for MAIN MIX with PFL and AFL, or to display 

the level from the GROUP 1–4 outputs. When the 

METER select switch is up, the MAIN MIX, PFL and 

AFL are displayed. When the METER select switch is 

down, the GROUP output are displayed.
