This control is used to adjust the headphone's volume.
CAUTION: Make sure to turn the control all the way to the left (minimum setting) before connecting the
headphones.
31. RECORD SEND L/R
These RCA-type connectors carry the “pre-fader” master L/R signal. The signal is not affected by the setting of
the master faders and therefore mostly used for the connection of cassette decks, open reel tape decks or DAT
recorders for recording purposes. The nominal level of the outputs is -lOdBV which matches the professional
industry standard and home recording applications. Nevertheless, you should use the input gain control of your
recording device - as far as it is provided.
CAUTION: On most tape decks the incoming signal is directly carried through to the PLAYBACK outputs. In
case you have connected the REC. SENDS and the 2TRACK RETURNS and the PSX’s 2TRACK to MASTER
control is set to anything but its lowest setting, the recorded signal is again included into the main mix. The delay
difference in delay of the two signals is responsible for occurring drop-outs and a general degradation of the
sound. In the worst case, activating the RECORD button on your tape deck could lead to very unpleasant feedback
noise. To prevent this from happening make sure to set the 2TRACK to MASTER and the 2TRACK to AUX
controls to their lowest settings during a recording.

OUTPUTS
32. 2TRACK RETURN L/R
These connectors let you connect a tape deck, a CD player, an open reel or an additional SUB-mixer. The signal
is post master fader and post STANDBY switch providing you with the possibility to play intermission music
during performance breaks or check the mix during the rehearsaL using the headphones. You just have to engage
the STANDBY switch to mute all channel signals at the main outputs and the monitor bus.
33. 2TRACK to AUX
The signal coming from the 2TRACK RETURNS is internally summed and can be added to the AUX or the
monitor bus. The signal’s level is set with the 2TRACK to AUX rotary control. Signal summing is done pre-fader
to the 2TRACK to MASTER control, i. e. the signal is fed to the AUX output without being influenced by the
2TRACK to MASTER control’s setting.
34. 2TRACK Return
This control is used to mix the 2TRACK signal to the main mix (MASTER); post-fader of the master controls.
CAUTION: When adjusting the level of the device that is connected to the 2TRACK RETURNS - CD player,
tape deck, etc. - always start with the control adjusted at its minimal setting. Otherwise, depending on the quality
of the recording, the outputted volume can cause relative high levels at the power amplifier outputs.
POWER AMP
INPUTS
35. MAIN OUTPUTS
The signals at the MAIN OUTPUTS are post L/R master fader and post the 7-band stereo EQ. They are mainly
utilized for the feeding of additional, external power amplifiers. Through these outputs it is also possible to
establish a two way active system set-up by either connecting an active frequency crossover or active sub woofers.
If you want to use the internal power amplifier to supply the high frequency cabinets, the treble signal coming
from the crossover has to be fed back to die PSX via the POWER AMP IN connectors.
36. POWER AMP INPUTS
These inputs are provided via electronically balanced phone jacks with breaker function. When inserting a phone
plug, the signal path is split up between the master and the internal power amplifier. This provides the opportunity
to operate the internal power amplifiers from the POWER AMP INPUTS.

37. FX1/2 FOOTSW.
Phone jack for the connection of a Electro-Voice FS11 foot switch, to switch the internal EX units on or off. To
accomplish this function, the switches FX1 and FX2 have to be engaged.
