MORE ABOUT THE MON SYSTEM
The MON system on POWERHOUSE consoles has a number of useful additional features. The REVERB
can be routed directly to MON by depressing the REV TO MON button. If the built-in stereo 2x300W
amplifier is not being used for the main mix, then it can be used to power the foldback system if the L-
R/MON button below the TO AMP control is depressed. Also, MON can be sent to the operators
headphones by depressing the L-R/MON button above the headphone level control.
CONNECTIONS
The AUX SEND should be connected to the input of an effect processor. The MON SEND should be
connected to the input of the on-stage monitoring system (unless the built-in amplifier is to be used instead,
as described above). The output from the effect processor connected to the AUX SEND can be connected
to either the STEREO RETURN or a spare LINE input. The benefit of using an input channel is that EQ is
available for the signal, but on the other hand, using the STEREO RETURN leaves all inputs free for
instruments.
3:6 THE GRAPHIC EQUALISERS
Each of the 7-band GRAPHIC EQUALISERS are assigned to the left and right busses. For maximum
flexibility, input channels can be individually sent via the GRAPHIC EQUALISERS to the left and right
busses.
The TRIM FADER on each equaliser allows the signal level into the equaliser to be adjusted. This is only
required when excessive EQ adjustments either cause clipping, or severe reduction of the mix level (seen
on the LEFT & RIGHT LED meters).
3:7 TAPE RECORD & PLAYBACK SOCKETS
These are used for making tape recordings of live sessions, playing backing tapes or for playing pre-
recorded background music during intervals etc.
On playback the signal is routed to the left and right busses, its level on these busses set by the LEVEL
control. It can also be sent to the MON system by turning clockwise the TO MON control. Using both these
controls means that a backing track can be sent to both the main mix, and also to the performers.
3:8 PHANTOM POWERING
The POWERHOUSE has a +48V phantom powering facility. When the phantom power switch is ON, 48V is
applied to pins 2 & 3 of all the MIC INPUT XLRs. This is used for remote powering of condenser/ capacitor
microphones which eliminates the need for external microphone power supplies.
A balanced microphone which does not need phantom power will not usually be damaged by being used
while the 48V power is on (there are a few exceptions to this though, and if in doubt contact the microphone
manufacturer).
An unbalanced microphone MUST NOT be used with phantom power ON.
