1. L and R Master faders: 

Depending on their position, 

these faders attenuate or amplify the L and R signals from all 

the input units. The resulting signals can be seen on the L and 

R VU meters (see 2 below).

2. VU meters:

 These show the amount of signal being sent 

to the LEFT and RIGHT XLR output connectors (see 3 below). 

Note: Arthur features 30 dB of headroom, so its electronics 

and output amps are rarely likely to clip. The purpose of the 

VU meters is therefore to monitor the level of signal flow to 

successive audio devices.

3. LEFT and RIGHT XLR output connectors:

 These send 

the audio signal to a PA system or recorder etc.  

4. ON/OFF buttons:

 The ON/OFF buttons connect the L/R 

and AUX faders with the output amps. They are similar to the 

MUTE buttons used on other mixers, but their functionality 

is reversed. When the ON/OFF buttons are depressed, the 

outputs are connected (whereas a MUTE button disconnects 

the output in its depressed position). These buttons can be 

useful in a live situation, to instantly disconnect “the stage 

from the PA” for example, without changing the position of 

the master faders. 

5. AUX Master faders: 

This upgrade to the standard 

Arthur  48  L/R  Master  offers  six  AUX  master  faders  that 

attenuate or amplify the AUX signals from all input units. The 

resulting signals can be seen on the AUX 1-6 meter (see 6 

below).

6. AUX 1-6 meter:

 This VU meter shows the amount of 

signal being sent to the AUX 1 - AUX 6 output connectors 

(see 7 below).

7. AUX XLR output connectors and 8. Selector 

buttons:

From these AUX outputs, signal is sent to external effects or 

stage monitors. You can choose which AUX signal is seen on 

the VU meter by selecting the relevant “AUX to phones and

ART48-MASTER X

AUX meter” button. These buttons are also used to select which AUX signal can be sent to the Phones 

output (see 9 below). This enables more than one AUX signal to be selected at the same time.

9. Phones output:

  High-quality headphone preamp with ¼-inch jack socket.

10. “To phones” buttons:

 The L/R and PFL “to phones” buttons activate the relevant audio signal 

to be sent to the Phones output.

11. AUX 4-6 PRE/POST buttons:

 These switch the pre/post fade positions of AUX 4-6. The pre/

post fade status of AUX 1-3 depends on the input modules connected to the Master X:

- using the standard Arthur 48 input modules (e.g. Microphone In, Yellow, Stereo In), the pre/post 

position can be selected on the input module itself.
