MATCHING THE INPUT
A wide-ranging padless input pre-amplifier matches the
connected audio source to the console. Use the PFL system
to set GAIN for the correct internal operating level (0dB
on the meters). Centre position provides +10dB line gain.
MIC/LINE selects a balanced mic or line XLR source.
Connecting to the additional 1/4" jack balanced line input
automatically overrides the XLR line input.
For MIC INPUT only connect to the XLR socket. Select
MIC (or LINE to provide a 20dB pad for very high output
microphones).
For LINE INPUT only connect either to the XLR or jack
connector and select LINE.
For MIC AND LINE INPUT selectable using the switch
connect mic to the XLR and line to the jack socket.
Individual +48V phantom power switches are located on
the rear panel, recessed to prevent accidental operation.
Use only with phantom powered microphones connected
with correctly balanced cables.
INPUT
The normalled INSERT socket provides a
pre-EQ -2dBu break point for inserting an
external efftects or signal processing de-
vice into the channel path. This may also be
wired as a pre-fade direct output by linking
send to return in the plug and tapping the
signal from this point.
Use the PFL system to match the inserted
device to the operating level of the channel.
PRECAUTION !
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT +48V SWITCHES ARE OFF
(UP POSITION) WHEN THE CHANNEL INPUT XLRS ARE
CONNECTED TO NON-PHANTOM POWERED OR LINE
SOURCES.
4-BAND EQUALISER
Shelving HF, LF and two wideband peak/dip mid sweeps
provide 14 dB of cut and boost.
EQ IN switches the equaliser in or out of the channel path.
Centre detents set the response flat.
CHECKING THE SIGNAL
The red PEAK LED warns of potential overload 5dB
before clipping at any of 3 key points in the channel path.
Pressing PFL routes the pre-fade signal to the console
monitor/meter system to check sound quality and gain
setting. The PEAK LED will illuminate at HALF bright-
ness when the PFL switch is pressed.
6 AUX SENDS
6 individual sends with 1-4 and 5,6 switchable pre/post
fader provide effects and foldback sends for recording or
F.O.H., or monitor mix sends for ON-STAGE console
operations. Internal links for the pre-fade sends are set as
standard to pre-EQ (post-EQ option) and post-mute
(pre-mute option).
ROUTING
Centre detented PAN positions the signal between L (odd)
and R (even) of the selected groups/L-R mix. This
positions the signal as required in the stereo image, or may
be used to route to single mono outputs only. The 100mm
long throw FADER provides a further 10dB boost above
the normal ‘0’ operating position. MUTE switches the
channel off.
