4. Channel Mon Control
Each channel has a
Mon
(monitor send) control which varies the amount
of channel signal being tapped off and sent to the monitor
bus
in the
MP6D
. The
Mon
signal is pre-fader and pre-
EQ
, in other words it is taken
before the
Gain
and
EQ
controls so that the main mix can be
EQ
'd inde-
pendently of the monitor mix. As a result, channel
EQ
settings do not
affect the sound of the monitor signals, nor do the channel
Gain
controls
regulate their volume. (
Note:
with an independent monitor mix, it may
be beneficial to connect a graphic equalizer to the
Monitor
output for
feedback control. Also, remember that to turn a channel off completely,
you must turn off
both
the
Gain
and
Mon
controls).
5. Channel EFX Control
Each channel has an
EFX
(effects send) control which adjusts the level
of the channel signal being tapped off and sent to the
MP6D
effects
bus
.
This signal is post-fader and post-
EQ
; in other words both the channel
EQ controls and the channel Gain control affect it. Normally, the out-
put signal from the effects
bus
is internally routed to the
Digital Effects
Processor
. In this situation, the
EFX
control would regulate the intensity
of the
built-in
effects as it is heard on that channel's sound through the
main
PA
system and the
Record Out
jacks. In standard operating mode
with the
built-in
effects working, you would connect a regular on/off
footswitch (e.g.
Yorkville
model
IFS-1A
) to the
EFX
Footswitch/Send
jack to turn the internal
effects on and off. See the section on this feature later in the manual for more information.
Alternatively, this signal can be connected to the input of an external effects unit and returned
via channel to any channel. If the effects unit uses 1/4-inch plugs, you would connect the
output of the unit to any one of the
Balanced Line In
jacks. In this mode, the internal effect
is not bypassed, so if you are not planning to use an internal effect, you must turn down the
Main Effects
and
Monitor Effects
Master controls. Also, 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
other amp/speaker system via the
EFX Footswitch/Send
jack using a standard shielded patch
cord. In this case, the
EFX
controls would act as send controls to achieve a semi-separate mix
(remember the channel
Gain
controls will also affect this signal).
Master Section
1. Main Master Control & Clip LED
The
Main Master
control adjusts the overall level of the main mix and the
PA
volume. Beside
this control is a
Clip LED
that indicates high signal levels within the main mixing
bus
. Reduce
the
Main Master
or the channel
Gain
settings if the
Main Clip LED
is more than slightly active.
(
Note:
to ensure maximum signal headroom and clarity, operate the mixer with the
Main
Master
set at around
7
or so. This way, you will be running the channel
Gain
controls at lower
settings, which helps to ensure that the channels do not clip).
2. Monitor Master Control
The overall level of the monitor mix is adjusted with the
Monitor Master
control. Beside it is a
Clip
LED
that indicates high signal levels within this
bus
. Reduce the
Monitor Master
or the channel
Mon
levels if the
Monitor Clip LED
is more than slightly active. (
Note:
as with the
Main Master,
keep the
Monitor Master
at a relatively high setting to prevent clipping the bus).
3. Main Effects Master Control
The
Main EFX
master control regulates the amount of signal going from the output of the inter-
nal
Digital Effects Processor
to the
Main
mixing
bus
where it is mixed with the dry signals
direct from the channels. It controls overall effects intensity on the
Main
Line Out
signal and
Record Out
signal, as well through the main PA speakers.
4. Monitor Effects Master
The
Monitor EFX
master control regulates the amount of signal going from the output of the
internal
Digital Effects Processor
to the
Monitor
mixing bus where it is mixed with the dry
signals direct from the channel
Mon
send controls. It controls overall effects intensity of the
Monitor Line Out
signal.
