RCA Connectors for Monitor
Connect powered monitors, or an amplier feeding monitor speakers here. Set the volume controls on the monitors A
and B to be equal when the A/B switch is toggled. e signal sent to this output is normally the Le/Right mix.
When the "To Control Room" switch (20) is engaged, the USB return signal is also sent to the Monitor Outputs.
A/B Toggle Switch
When depressed, the A outputs are muted and the B outputs are on. When raised, the A outputs are on and the B outputs
are muted. is allows the easy checking of a computer DAW mix on two dierent sets of monitors.
Monitor Level
Use this control to set the listening level in your control room monitors. e optimum setting for this control is 12:00, so monitor
amplier levels (or powered monitor levels) should be adjusted with this knob at 12:00. ere is an additional 17 dB of gain available on
this pot at the max position.
Phantom Power
is Switch applies +48 VDC voltage to the input XLR connectors to power microphones requiring phantom power.
If phantom power is used, do not connect unbalanced dynamic microphones or other devices to the XLR
inputs that cannot handle this Voltage.
Headphone Level
is knob sets the headphone and control room output levels. To avoid damage to your hearing‚ make sure to turn the dial fully coun-
terclockwise before using headphones. Slowly turn the knob clockwise until you reach a comfortable listening level.
Compressor Control
Adjusting this knob clockwise lowers the threshold of the compressor, thereby increasing the amount of compression. e compressor
ratio is in the 4:1 range, varying with signal levels and the amount of compression. is is useful for controlling peak levels from live
sources. e compressor is aer the master level control (28), and before the main outs (36) and the USB port(39), so it can be used to
tame vocals being recorded into a DAW. You can audition the eect of the compressor by switching it in and out with the Enable
switch (14). When the compressor is active, the adjacent red LED will illuminate.
Level
is is the master level control, which controls the overall level sent to the main outputs (36) and the USB port (39).
Headphone Output
e Headphone Output is a 1⁄4” TRS (Tip= Le; Ring = Right; Sleeve = Ground) jack. e signal sent to this output is normally the
Le/Right mix. When the "To Control Room" switch (20) is engaged, the USB return signal is also sent to the headphones.
