2.0 OUTPUT SECTION CONTROLS (Figure 2)
2.A EFX SEND
The EFX (effects) SEND control sets the level of the
signal appearing at the effects send output jack
(sec. 4E) going to any type of outboard effects
device(s) such as delay, phase, flanger, etc. It does
not affect the signal being sent to the internal reverb
system. The source for this signal is via the
individual effects/reverb send level controls
(sec. 1C) on input channels 1 through 16.
2B. EFX RETURN
The EFX RETURN level control determines the
amount of externally generated effects signals in
the main mix. This signal is mixed into the left and
right stereo sub channels via the EFX PAN control
(sec. 2C).
2C. EFX PAN
The EFX PAN control directs the signal coming
from the effects return level control into the left
and/or right sub channels. The control works in an
identical way to the input channel PAN control.
2D. AUX SEND
The AUX (auxiliary) SEND control sets the level of
the signal appearing at the AUX SEN D output jack
(sec. 4F) to any outboard device. The PRE-POST
select switch on the channel input will allow you to
determine if you want the outboard device to be
affected by the channel equalization and fader. In
the "PRE" position, the AUX SEND signal is not
affected by the channel EQ and fader. In the
"POST" position, the AUX SEND signal is affected
by the channel EQ and fader.
2E. AUX RETURN
The AUX (auxiliary) RETURN control sets the level
of the input signal that is directed to the left and
right sub channels through the AUX PAN control
(sec. 2F) The AUX RETURN is one of the input
locations that can be used to "stack" mixers without
using up an input channel.
2F. AUX PAN
The AUX (auxiliary) PAN control directs the signal
coming from the AUX input into the left and or right
sub channels. The control works in an identical
manner to the input channel PAN control.
2G. REVERB SECTION
Reverberation is the natural decay of sound in a
closed space (a room). The internal reverb system
uses springs to realistically simulate this effect.
The reverb section gets its input signal from the
EFX/REVERB send controls on the input channels
(sec. 1C).
1. REV LEVEL
The REV (reverb) LEVEL control adds rever¬
beration to the left and right sub channels from
any input channel signal whose EFX/REV
control is turned up.
Turning the control to the right increases the
amount of reverb present in the left and right
sub outputs.
2. REV PAN
The REV (reverb) PAN control directs signal
from the REV LEVEL control to left or right sub
bus. The control works in an identical manner
to the input PAN control.
3. REV TO MON
The REV (reverb) to MON (monitor) control
adjusts the level of the signal from the internal
reverb to the monitor bus. Turn the control
clockwise to increase the reverb level at the
monitor bus.
2H. MASTER SECTION CONTROLS
The master section controls affect the subgroup,
mam, and monitor output levels.
The use of subgroups can be demonstrated by this
example: If the input channel PAN controls are set
fully clockwise for all the vocal microphones, then
we will have assigned the SUB R slider as a "vocal
submaster". If we raise or lower the SUB R control
we can set the proper vocal level in the mix while
preserving the input channel balance set among
the vocalists.
1. LEFT SUBMASTER
Controls the volume of the left stereo output
channel. It is also used as a subgroup master.
2. RIGHT SUBMASTER
Controls the volume of the right stereo channel.
It is also used as a subgroup master.
3. MAIN MASTER
The MAIN (monaural) output is an equal mix
of the left and right stereo outputs, the MAIN
MASTER controls the volume of the output.
4. MONITOR MASTER
Controls the volume of the monitor output
signal. The monitor output is a mix of the
individual channel monitor sends.
