2TRK TO MIX should not be used when recording
from the REC O/P sockets, as there is the possibility of
serious feedback.
MONITOR LEVEL
The MONITOR LEVEL control sets the level of signal to the
Monitor Headphones jack.
PFL ACTIVE
This LED illuminates when any PFL switch is pressed to warn that
the headphones and meters are now monitoring the PFL signal
instead of the Mix.
DIGITAL EFFECTS PROCESSOR
The controller provides a wide range of echo, reverb and acoustic treat-
ments to add fullness to the sound, complement room acoustics or for spe-
cific effects.
INPUT TRIM
The input level to the integral Effects Controller from the mixer is set by
the INPUT TRIM control, with an associated LED to warn of levels high
enough to cause clipping at the input of the Effects. The control should
where possible be kept in the centre detent position to minimise noise, and
if a setting over ‘0’ is required this would indicate that the input is not being
driven hard enough from the LEX FX channel sends.
PROGRAM SELECT/PARAMETER ADJUST
PROGRAM SELECT
This rotary switch allows any one of 16 factory-programmed effect combi-
nations to be selected, as listed on the panel legend below the controls.
These factory presets have been carefully selected and should be suitable
for most applications.
PARAMETER ADJUST
Two effects Parameters may be adjusted and saved in the onboard RAM for
each of the pre-programmed effects, using the encoder knob and the two
PARAMeter switches. The best setting for a particular application will be
found by experimentation and careful listening to the final sound.
Adjustments are made with the encoder knob while pressing and holding
the required PARAM switch, listening to the result. As soon as the PARAM
switch is released the setting will be held in internal flash RAM memory.
Any alterations to the pre-programmed settings are retained, even if the
mixer is turned off, and will be recalled the next time that the particular pro-
gram is selected. If these settings differ from the original default settings the
USER MODE LED illuminates. Factory default settings may be restored by
pressing and holding both PARAM switches until the USER MODE LED
goes out.
MASTER SECTION
LEXICON EFFECTS MASTER FADER
The EFFECTS fader controls the volume of the effect which is added direct-
ly to the Left/Right mix, and is subject to the control of the Main L/R Master
Faders (see 2 below).
MIX LEFT & RIGHT MASTER FADERS
The MAIN L & R MASTER FADERS control the final output level of the sig-
nal to the Main impedance balanced Mix outputs (after the Insert Point).
AUX 2 PRE
Aux Send 2 is normally post-fade, Post EQ, but for flexibility it may be
switched to PRE-FADE, POST EQ by pressing the AUX 2 PRE switch. This
simultaneously affects all Aux 2 sends across the mixer.
LEXICON EFFECTS TO AUX 1
This control allows the output of the Lexicon Digital Effects Processor to be
mixed in mono with the Aux 1 Sends if required to provide a ‘wet’ foldback
feed or alternative output.
AUX 1 MASTER
The AUX 1 MASTER control sets the final level of the Aux 1 mix sent to the
impedance balanced Aux 1 output.
AUX 2 MASTER
The AUX 2 MASTER control sets the final level of the Aux 2 mix sent to the
impedance balanced Aux 2 output.
STEREO RETURN
A balanced Stereo Return is available for the output of effects units and this
is mixed directly to the Mix L/R busses at a level set by the STEREO
RETURN control. If a mono source is used, plugging into the Left jack only
automatically feeds the signal to both Left and Right.
2 TRACK RETURN
The unbalanced 2Track Return, at a nominal -10dBV on RCA phono sock-
ets, feeds via the 2TRK TO MIX switch and the 2 TRACK RETURN control
to Mix L/R, before the Mix L/R Master faders. This input is ideal for pre-
show or interval music from an external source, or as an additional effects
return.
PFL
When the PFL switch is pressed, the pre-fade 2 Track Return signal is fed in
mono to the headphones and meters, where it replaces the Mix as the mon-
itor source. This is a useful way of listening to the Return for making adjust-
ments or tracing problems.
2TRK TO MIX
This switch routes the 2 Track Return to Mix L/R, and provides a very sim-
ple method of feeding an external source (e.g. interval music) to the Mix
outputs.
