control room monitors. Whenever a channel is "soloed" a green LED just above the

switch will light to indicate the solo switch has been depressed. Also, a green LED

will light at the System Master Srip "Control Room Group" to indicate that a soloed

channel is appearing at the control room group.

* The channel "Peak LED" illuminates whenever signal peaks come

within 6dB of clipping any stage in the input channel. This light is used to warn

the operator whenever signals are becoming too strong and will distort within

the console. Whenever you see the Peak LED flashing you should rotate the input

gain control (See #2) counter-clockwise until the LED just stops flashing. The

Peak indicator will light when any level is too strong on the channel. Whether

the signal is too strong at the input, the output of the equalizer, or the ouptut of

the channel fader, It will indicate any overloads. This indicator along with the

Gain control work hand-in-hand as a first step in setting up the input gain of the

console for a mix . Proper use of the gain control and peak LED will deliver the

best overall quietness and performance from the console.

* The Channel Fader controls the volume of each channel. It provides

a smooth travel and dB calibrated attenuation of channel signals. A proper setting

of the channel fader would be between "-5" and "+8" on the calibrated fader

markings. This means that usually you will be operating your channel faders

quite high when compared to your Master Output Faders. Doing this will assure

you the most quiet performance and best overall sound from your console.

Although each channel fader incorporates integral dust & dirt seals, it is best to

try and keep them as clean as possible for highest reliability.

* After each of the MX2488's channel (Cue) and (Effects) controls have

been set, each of these signals are electronically summed. (i.e. All channel CUE #1

channel controls are summed together at the CUE #1 Master Output). The Send

Master controls then adjust the overall output level for these four signals. Each of

the channels "Cue" and "Effects" sends are adjusted relative to each other. This
