Alto Typhoon User Manual

The stereo returns sections is used to manage signals coming from the outputs of effect units, and includes a wide
range of versatile controls.
BAL
This pot controls the balance between
left and right signal coming from the
effects outputs. Its behaviour is similar
to pan-pot, but the result is different
since it doesn't place the signal in
stereo front, but it just manages the
balance between the outputs of the
stereo effects unit. Of course if you
connect a plug only to LEFT (MONO)
input it acts as a regular pan-pot.
Fader
This slider will give to the sound en-
gineer the ability to manage the unit
effect return level from - up to +10dB.
PFL switch
MUTE
This switch is useful to mute that aux return
signal when you don't need its sound. This
feature is important to reduce noise floor of
effects units. This switch will be lit when it is
depressed (engaged).
OUTPUT Assign 1/2 3/4 5/6 7/8 L/R
These switches allow the sound engineer to
address the signal to the audio path he wants
to. The odd/even numbered switches are used
to send the signal to sub-groups (then you
can send their signal to L/R outs) while L/R
switch sends the signal directly to Main Mix
output. Those switches can be used in several
ways.
Recording the concert those switches can be
used to make some groups (toms & drum kit
over-head, keyboards, etc.), while in other
cases the sound engineer should prefer to
use the sub groups to control some music
sections by subgroups (e.g. drums, percussion
and rhythmic instruments in stereo in subs 1-2,
keyboards & guitars in stereo in subs 3-4,
wind and brasses in stereo in subs 5-6, lead
singer, choirs and voices in stereo in subs
7-8).
AUX 1, AUX 2, AUX 3/4, AUX 5-8 switches
These switches will allow the sound engineer
to send the FX return signal to Auxiliaries. In
this way you can send, e.g., to the lead singer
monitor the reverb that affects the entire mix.
23
[ Typhoon Master Section ]
This switch allows the sound engineer
to control the aux return signal. The
PFL (pre-fade listen) signal is pre-fader
and stereo. This large switch is illumi-
nated to give you an immediate visual
control of which, and how many channels
are in solo.
