The Rear Panel:
61 POWER CONNECTOR: Fasten the threaded collar of
the supplied AC power supply to this connector.
Align the pins of the power supply with those of the
connector, press into place, then tighten the threaded
collar onto the connector securely.
62 POWER: Use this switch to turn the mixer on (“–”
depressed) and off.
63 PHANTOM POWER: When using any condenser
microphone that requires phantom power use the tip
of a small screwdriver to slide the corresponding DIP
switch to the On position (switch down). This applies
phantom power to the appropriate channel. Phantom
power is only available if the Master On/Off switch
(#64) is in the On position. The numbers below the
switches correspond to channels 1 – 6 of the mixer.
64 MASTER ON/OFF: This switch turns the phantom
power supply on and off. This switch must be on for
the channel DIP switches (#63) to function.
NOTE: Turn the master faders and monitor controls down
to minimum when turning the phantom power on
and off to avoid transient signals from entering your
amplifier(s).
48 TAPE IN PFL: This switch, when depressed, sends the signal from
the tape In jacks (#35) to the Monitor master control (#51). The
Output LED Meters (#57) are also switched to monitor this signal,
which is pre-level control. The PFL LED (#55) illuminates to indi-
cate that the Headphones (#39), Monitor (#42) and LED Meters
(#57) are now responding to the PFL selection.
49 AUX OUT: Controls the level of the signal sent to the Aux Out jack
(#36).
50 EFFECTS OUT: Controls the level of the signal sent to the Eff Out
jack (#38).
51 MONITOR: Controls the level of the signal sent to the Monitor
jacks (#42).
52 GRP / L/R: This switch determines whether the Monitor section is
monitoring the Main L/R output or the Group 1/2 output.
53 GROUP TO L/R: This switch, when depressed, sends the Group
1/2 signal to the Main L/R fader (#60).
54 AFL: This switch, when depressed, sends the Group 1/2 post-fader
signal to the Monitor master control (#51).
55 PFL LED: This LED illuminates when any of the PFL or the AFL
switches are depressed, indicating that the Meter (#57) is monitor-
ing a PFL selection.
56 POWER LED: This LED illuminates when the mixer is plugged into
an AC source and the Power switch (#62, rear panel) is at the On
position (“–” depressed).
57 METER: This dual 12-stage LED meter monitors the Main L/R out-
put signals under normal conditions – if any of the PFL / AFL
switches are depressed, the PFL LED (#55) will illuminate and the
meters will monitor the PFL source(s). The Peak LEDs will illumi-
nate whenever the output signal is near clipping. If this happens,
reduce the master faders until the Peak LEDs no longer flash.
58 MONO: Controls the level of the signal at the Mono jack (#37).
This signal is a mono summed version of the Main L/R signals.
59 GROUP 1/2 FADERS: Control the Group 1 and 2 master signal
levels sent to the Group 1 and 2 jacks (#41).
60 MAIN L/R FADER: Controls the Main master signal level sent to
the Main Left/Right jacks (#40).
