for guidance).
Mics should always be plugged in, and all output faders set to minimum
before switching the Phantom Power ON to avoid damage to external equip-
ment
2 POWER INDICATOR
This LED lights to show when power is connected to the console.
3 MASTER FADERS
The MASTER FADERS set the final level of the MIX outputs, and separate
faders are provided for each output. These should normally be set close to
the ‘0’ mark if the input GAIN settings have been correctly set, to give
maximum travel on the faders for smoothest control.
4 MIX OUTPUTS, INSERTS & MONO OUTPUT
The Mix LEFT and RIGHT outputs are sent from the XLR sockets as bal-
anced signals. The Mix INSERT points are on 3-pole ‘A’ gauge jacks and are
unbalanced. The MONO OUTPUT caries a mono sum of the left and right
mix signals on a 3-pole ‘A’ gauge jack, the output is unbalanced.
5 BARGRAPH METERS
The three-colour peak reading BARGRAPH METERS normally show the level
of the MIX RIGHT and MIX LEFT outputs, giving you a constant warning of
excessive peaks in the signal which might cause overloading. Aim to keep
the signal within the amber segments at peak levels for best performance.
Similarly, if the output level is too low and hardly registering at all on the
meters, the level of background noise may become significant. Take care
to set up the input levels for best performance.
When any PFL switch is pressed, the meters switch to show the selected
PFL signal on both meters, in mono; the PFL ACTIVE LED also lights.
6 RECORD OUTPUTS
These two RCA outputs carry a copy of the MIX L and MIX R signals. They
allow the use of a recording device, e.g. DAT player, Minidisc recorder etc.
MASTER SECTION
1 PHANTOM POWER
Many professional condenser mics need
PHANTOM POWER, which is a method of
sending a powering voltage down the
same wires as the mic signal. Press the
switch to enable the +48V power to all
of the MIC inputs. The adjacent LED illu-
minates when the power is active.
WARNING: TAKE CARE when
using unbalanced mics which
may be damaged by the phan-
tom power voltage. Balanced
dynamic mics can normally be
used with phantom power switched on
