simplicity of the MP8 's design. As with all equalizers, boosts at one or more
DX
frequencies increase the channel's signal level. If the channel is already at a fairly
high operating level, this may cause clipping, in which case the CLIP LED will light.
Reduce the GAIN setting and/or the EQ boosts if CLIP activity is excessive. (Note:
center position reflects a neutral or flat EQ control setting, however lower EQ control
settings may be effectively employed to reduce feedback and/or distortion).
4. CHANNEL MON CONTROL 4. CHANNEL MON CONTROL
4. CHANNEL MON CONTROL 4. CHANNEL MON CONTROL
Each channel has a MON (monitor send) control which varies the amount of channel
signal being tapped off and sent to the monitor bus in the MP8 . The MON signal is
DX
pre-fader and pre-channel EQ, in other words it is taken before the GAIN and EQ
controls so that the monitor mix can be independent of the main mix. As a result,
channel EQ settings do not affect the sound of the monitor signals, nor do the
channel GAIN controls regulate their volume.
5. CHANNEL EFX CONTROL 5. CHANNEL EFX CONTROL 5. CHANNEL EFX CONTROL 5. CHANNEL EFX CONTROL
Each channel has an EFX (effects send) control which adjusts the level of the channel
signal being tapped off and sent to the MP8 's effects bus. This signal is post-fader
DX
and post-EQ, in other words it is affected by both the channel EQ controls and the
channel GAIN control. Normally, the output signal from the effects bus is internally
routed to the DIGITAL EFFECTS PROCESSOR. In this situation, the EFX control
would regulate the intensity of the built-in effects on that channel's sound through
the main PA system and the RECORD OUT jacks. In standard operating mode with
the built-in effects working, you can connect a regular on/off footswitch (e.g.
Yorkville model IFS-1A) to the EFX FOOTSWITCH/SEND jack to turn the internal
effects on and off. See the section EFX FOOTSWITCH/SEND later in this manual for
more information. Alternatively, this signal can be connected to the input of an
external effects unit and returned via a channel. However, if you do not require any
effects at all, the effects bus output signal can be connected to the input of an
additional monitor system or other amp/speaker system via the EFX
FOOTSWITCH/SEND jack using a standard shielded patch cord. In this case, the EFX
controls would act as send controls to achieve a semi-separate mix. (Remember that
the channel GAIN controls will also affect this signal).

1. MAIN MASTER CONTROL & CLIP LED 1. MAIN MASTER CONTROL & CLIP LED
The MAIN MASTER control adjusts the overall level of the main mix and the PA volume.
Beside this control is a CLIP LED, which indicates high signal levels within the main mixing bus.
Reduce the MAIN MASTER, or the channel GAIN controls, if the MAIN CLIP LED is more than
slightly active. (Note: to ensure maximum signal headroom and clarity, operate the mixer with
the MAIN MASTER set at 7 or so. This way, you will be running the channel GAIN controls at
lower settings, which helps to ensure that the channels do not clip).
2. MONITOR MASTER CONTROL 2. MONITOR MASTER CONTROL 2. MONITOR MASTER CONTROL 2. MONITOR MASTER CONTROL
The overall level of the monitor mix is adjusted with the MONITOR MASTER control. Beside
it is a CLIP LED, which indicates high signal levels within this bus. Reduce the MONITOR
MASTER or the channel MON levels if the MONITOR CLIP LED is more than slightly active.
(Note: as with the MAIN MASTER, keep the MONITOR MASTER at a relatively high setting
to ensure maximum clarity).
