12 HEADPHONES SOCKET

The PHONES output is a 3-pole 6.35mm (1/4") jack, wired as a stereo output, ideally for headphones of
200

 or greater.  8

 headphones are not recommended.

13 METERS & AFL/PFL ACTIVE LED

The three-colour peak reading BARGRAPH METERS normally show the level of the signal(s) selected by the
monitor source-select switches, giving you a constant warning of excessive peaks in the signal(s) which
might cause overloading.  Aim to keep the signal within the amber segments at peak levels for best perform-
ance.
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 AFL/PFL switch is pressed, the meters switch to show the selected AFL/PFL signal on both meters,
in mono; the AFL/PFL ACTIVE LED also lights.

MIX & GROUP OUTPUTS

14 MIX FADER

The MIX FADER sets the final level of the Mix outputs.  This should normally be set close to the ‘0’ mark if the
input GAIN settings have been correctly set, to give maximum travel on the fader for smoothest control.

15 GRP FADERS

This pair of faders sets the final level of the Group outputs. 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.

16 TO MIX

This switch routes the Group-L and Group-R signals to the main mix.

17 STEREO/MONO

If this switch is depressed a mono sum of the group signals is routed to the main mix.

18 MIX OUTPUTS

The Mix LEFT and RIGHT outputs are sent from the XLR sockets as balanced signals.

19 MONO OUTPUT

A mono sum of the mix left and right signals is output on this balanced 3-pole 6.35mm (1/4”) jack socket.

20 GROUP OUTPUTS

The Group-L  and Group-R signals are output on these balanced 3-pole 6.35mm (1/4”) jack sockets.

21 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, Cassette tape recorder etc.
