Front Panel
Level
8
This is the channel output level control. The optimum setting is the 0 (unity gain) position.
Phantom Power LED
9
This LED lights when the Phantom Power Switch (10) has been engaged.
Phantom Power Switch
10
Applies phantom power 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. The Phantom Power LED (10) indicates when phantom power is on.
EFX/Return
11
The EFX/Return Level Control adjusts the level sent to the Left/Right main bus from the return inputs.
Tape/USB To CTRL/HP
12
Depressing this switch adds the tape return to the Control Room and Headphone Outputs (28) for zero
latency monitoring.
Tape/USB to Mix
13
Depressing this switch routes the signal from the Tape Inputs to the Main Outputs (27).
Power LED
14
This LED indicates AC power is supplied to the unit‚ the power switch is on and the unit is functioning
properly.
Contour Switch
15
Engaging this switch enhances the signal by adding both bass and treble frequencies. This is especially
effective at lower volumes or for tape/CD playback.
80 Hz Low Cut
16
The Low Cut filter has a corner frequency of 80 Hz. When engaged‚ it can improve clarity by removing low
frequencies that can make a mix sound muddy. This feature is especially useful when playing outside
on a windy day or on a hollow‚ noisy stage. These kinds of ambient noises can rob your sound system of
power. Engaging this switch removes those frequencies from the system and restores power to where it's
needed.
Headphone Level
17
This knob sets the headphone and control room output level. To avoid damage to your hearing‚ make
sure to turn the dial fully counterclockwise before using headphones. Slowly turn the knob clockwise
until a comfortable listening level is set. Normally, the signal in the headphones is the Left/Right signal.
If the Tape/USB to Control Room (12) is engaged‚ the tape/USB signal is also included.
LED Meters
18
Two six-segment LED arrays are provided to monitor the levels of the main Left/Right outputs. These
meters range from -20 dB to +19 dB. 0 dB on the meter corresponds to +4 dBu at the outputs.
Master Level Fader
19
The Master Fader controls the level sent to the main Left/Right outputs. Best results are obtained when
this control is set near the 0 point.
