Tip:
Alternatively, this signal at this jack can be connected to the input of an exter-
nal stereo effects unit and returned via channel 5/6 or 7/8 However, if you do not
require any effects at all, the effects bus output signal can be connected to the
input of an additional monitor system or another amp/speaker system via the EFX
Out/Footswitch jack using a standard balanced patch cord. In this case, the EFX
controls would act as send controls to achieve a semi-separate mix. Remember
that the channel GAIN controls also affect this signal.
6. Channel Pan and Bal Controls
The signal balance of each channel going to the left and right main PA channels can be
adjusted by the
Pan
control in channels 1 to 4, and by the
Bal
control in channels 5/6
and 7/8. Turning this control
counterclockwise
towards the
L
will increase the signal level
in the left channel to a maximum of 3 dB while also reducing the GAIN in the right chan-
nel to zero. Turning the control
clockwise
towards the
R
will increase the signal GAIN in
the right channel while also reducing the signal GAIN in the left channel.
Master Section
1. MAIN Master Control
The
MAIN
master control adjusts the overall level of the main
mix, the PA volume.
Note:
To ensure maximum signal headroom and clarity, set
the channel GAIN controls first for a good signal without clip-
ping, then set the master for the overall volume desired.
2. MON Master Control
The overall level of the monitor mix is adjusted with the
MON
master control.
Note:
As with the MAIN master, set the MON
master to deliver the desired volume after set-
ting the channel sends.
3. MAIN EFFECTS Return Control
The
MAIN EFX
control regulates the amount of signal going
from the output of the internal
Digital Effects Processor
to
the
MAIN
mixing bus where it is mixed with the dry signals
directly. It controls the intensity of the effects on the left
and right
MAIN
output signals.
4. MON EFFECTS Return Control
The
MON EFX
control regulates the amount of signal going
from the output of the internal
Digital Effects Processor
to
the
MON
mixing bus where it is mixed with the dry signals
directly from the channel
MON
send controls. It controls the
overall effects intensity for the
MON
Out signal.
5. Post-EQ OUT
These jacks offer a variety of patching and routing options. They are positioned in the
signal path after the
M608
main graphic equalizers.
These bus signals are at line level,
not
speaker level (use the
SPEAKER
outputs on
the rear panel to drive speakers). Using signals from these jacks has no effect on the
operation of the
M608's
built-in
power amplifier. This makes it possible to feed an
external power amplifier, or even multiple inter-connected power amps, while the inter-
nal power amplifier is functioning.
Note:
It is not necessary to have speakers connected if you’d like to use the unit
strictly as a mixer. If a mono signal is required, possibly to feed a mono-house PA or
another amp/speaker system, use the L/Mono Post-EQ jack. Mono operation of this
jack is switched to left channel only as soon as a jack is inserted in the L Post-EQ
jack. They follow the operation of the Main/Mon switch described below.
