13. INPUT SOLO SWITCH
When ths switch is pressed (ON), Ihe SOLO LED (33) is
turned on snd the post-FADER signal ol that channel is
sent to the SCLO buss The MONITOR SELECTOR (25)
s overridden and the SOLO buss output signal is sent
:o both me MONITOR LEVEL kncb (26) and PHONES
VOLUME {27). in other words, the pcsi-FADER signal ol
the partcuar channel can now be monitored using
ncadphcncs or speakers T-ic montored signal main
tains lie perspective set with the PAM pot (12), making
equalczirg adjustments with FOUAII7FR (4) possible
without anv sound distortion, "his feature affects only
the signals sent to the MONITOR OUT jack (47) and
PHONES jack (34).
14. MUTE SWITCH
When ths switch is oressed, the LEC located within the
swteh vvll toggle between ON and OFF When the LED
is ON. the signal entering the INPUT FADER (15) ol that
channel wll be rruted. This Is the equivalent ol complete¬
ly lowering the INPUT FADER and is useful when one
wants to cut out a chanrel without moving the FADER
position. Whan Iho LED is OFF, the nuto function c
releasee
15. INPUT FADER
Ths adjusts ihe level of the sgnal selected by the INPUT
SELECTOR (3). As roise and distortion is minimum at the
scale range of 0 * 5idR), if is recommended to initially set
the INPUT "ADER within this range and then adjust with
TRIM (2).
16. GROUP MASTER FADERS (busses 1 -6)
These a r e the master farters for GROUP busses 1
respectively. Not ony are the cutout signal levels to the
GROUP OJT jacks (45) adjusted here, but also signal
levels to the GROU=* TO L-R SECTION (18) and (19) es
well. Normally this area is used io set the sgnal level
OJ the outpjt :o TRACKS 1 -6 ot a multitrack recader.
17. GROUP MASTER FADERS (busses 7/L, 8fR)
These two are the master teders for GROUP busses 7
and 8. The/ adjust the signal leves assigned directly to
GROUP busses T and 8 from GROUP ASSIGN (11) and
(12)) es well as signel levels assigned via the CROUP TO
L-R SECTION (16) end (19). Normally thccc arc used lo
so: Iho signal leva! of the output to TRACKS 7 and 8 of
a mutitrack renoide' Also, wnen mixing-down, they may
be used lo- signal leve adjustment tc a master recorder
(ie fer lade-intout purposes).
18. GROUP TO L-R GAIN
These knebs adjust the individual levels d GROUP
busses 1-6 when assigning them to GROUP busses
7 and & For examole. in a mixing-down situation Une
source signals may be assigned to GROUP busses
1-6. men collectively sen: to CROUP busses 7 and 8
after ueny adjusted at the GROUP TO L-R SECTION
(1C) end (19) and finally outputted to a master reccrder.
19. GROUP TO L-R PAN
Ihese knoos ad|ust me Lett-Right perspective of the
signas o be sent io GROUP busses 7 aid B A turn
towards L will send the signal towards GFOUP buss 7
while R will send the signal towards GROUP ouss 3.
After bene assigned to GROLP busses 7 and 8 from
here, the signals are then outputted from GROUP OUT
jacks 7/L and 8 R 1461 via GROUP MASTER RADERS
7/L. S (17).
20. GROUP SOLO SWITCH
When this swteh is pressed, Ihe respective GROUP
duss outoul signal is sent to the SOLD buss. Similar to
:he INPUT SOLO SWITCH, the MONITOR SELECTOR
(25) isoverrdden and the signal sent to both the MONI¬
TOR OUT jack (47) and the PHONES jack (24). erabmg
monitor! rg with head phones or speakers.
21. EFFECT SEND 1 MASTER LEVEL KNOB
71 iis knob adjusts Ihe master level of the signds sent to
the EFFECT SEND 1 busa which is then outputted from
Ihe 50. EFFECT SEND 1 jack.
22. EFFECT SEND 2 MASTER LEVEL KNOB
This knob adjusts the master level of the signers sent to
the EFFECT SEND 2 buss, which is then outputted from
the 49. EFFECT SEND 2 jack.
23. AUX SEND MASTER LEVEL KNOB
Tins knob adjusts the master level of ihe signets sent to
the AUX buss. which ic then outputted from the 48. AUX
OUT jack.
24. SOLO LEVEL KNOB
This knob adjusts IIie master tevd cf lire siyiab sent
to the SOLO buss, which ncudes sicnal3 coming from
NPU~ SOLO switches and GROUP SOLO switenes.
25. MONITOR SELECTOR
This selects the signal to be sent to MONITOR OLT jack
(47) and PHONES jack (34). L-R: The output signal from
GROUP busses 7 and 8. AUX: The output signal from
he AUX buss (ie tc be outputted from the AUX OUT
ack (48)). EFFECT SEND 1: The signal to be outputted
‘rom the EFFECT SEND I jack (50) is selected with a
central perspective EFFECT SEND 2 The signal to be
outputted Iron the EFFECT SEND 2 jack (49) is selected
with a central perspective
n general. L-R is used when mixing-ctown. AUX is used
whan monitoring Ihe output to a recorder. The selection
is made when the respective switch is depressed.
26. MONITOR LEVEL KNOB
This knob adjusts the output leve of the signal sen! to the
MONITOR OUT jack (47).
27. PHONES VOLUME
This controls the volume of the signal sent to the 34.
PHONES jack.
28. EFFECT RETURN 1 SECTION
I his section assigns the signal coming into EFFECT
RTN 1 jacks (40) to GROUP busses t -£
The assigned buss(es) is determined by the use cf the
RTN 1 ASSIGN SWITCHES (28) and Ihe RTN 1 PAN
(28). The signal leve is adjusted by RTN 1 GAIN (28)
