ART48-MICLINE X
The HI, MID and LOW rotary controls all have a detent at their mid positions. This
indicates the filter’s “flat” position.
14. UNIT ON/OFF: The UNIT ON button connects/disconnects that channel’s output
routing for all outputs (AUX1 to AUX6 and L/R), except the PFL routing. This function is
similar to the MUTE button used on other mixers, but here the functionality is reversed.
When the button is depressed, all outputs get connected - whereas a MUTE button
disconnects the output when pressed. Also, whereas a MUTE button normally only
disconnects the L/R routing (the channel’s fader), this button affects all outputs. Being
able to switch off a channel strip makes sense in order to prevent the signal from still
going through to stage monitors, or to the input of the reverb unit for example. Note:
Even if the button is in the switched off position (not depressed, white light), the PFL
and INSERT will still be ready to function, (as shown by the lights on their respective
buttons), even though all other button lights are off.
15. AUX SENDS: There are six rotary controls – one for the level control of each
send (AUX1 to AUX 6). This enables each individual AUX SEND to be controlled
independently from the others.
The signal to AUX1 is “taken” post fade because this auxiliary line can be used with
the Spring unit for reverb effect, while AUX2 and AUX3 are pre fade for use with
stage monitors. The other 3 AUX can be independently assigned pre- or post fade on
the Master X unit.
This means that you can have an AUX configuration of up to one post and five pre (1
5 monitors) or up to four post and two pre (4 e 2 monitors).
The level of the AUX sends can be read on the MASTER X unit’s dedicated VU meter.
16-18. Fader section: Operation of this fader section is identical to that on other
mixers. The channel faders and their associated functionality probably form the most
important part of the output process. In most cases, the signal(s) going through this
section will be mixed in the MASTER X and will appear on the main L/R outputs that
drive the recording device or the front-of-house PA speakers. This is the signal usually
heard by the public.
The PAN pot (16) enables the signal to be sent to the Left or Right master channel.
Its configuration is designed to guarantee minimum noise and maximum dynamics in
the central position. In this position, the signal flows to both channels at maximum
level. When the pot is set hard left, you will only hear the signal on the left channel.
While turning the pot from the left to the central position, the left channel’s signal
will not change, but the right channel’s signal will continuously increase, reaching its
maximum level at the central position - and vice versa.

As well as being a traditional PFL (pre fade listen), the PFL button (17) also serves as an additional
AUX send, albeit without the possibility to set any levels. All channels that have their PFL activated
(red light) will be mixed in the MASTER X unit and sent to the PFL output, controlled by the PFL
fader and “visible” on the Master X’s VU meter. This function can be useful if you have an
additional monitor and only need one signal, e.g. for a singer who only requires the “voice
channel”. Note: The PFL section still runs if the UNIT ON is deactivated (white light).
The channel fader (18) controls the total amount of signal going to the master. To exclude this
signal from the MASTER X without changing the fader position, simply switch the UNIT ON button
to its OFF position (white light). The button will then act as a MUTE.
