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 MP8D. The MON signal is pre-fader and pre-EQ, in other words it is
taken before the GAIN and EQ controls so that the main mix can be
EQ'd independently of the monitor 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. (Note: with an independent monitor mix,
it may be beneficial to connect a graphic equalizer to the MONITOR
output for feedback control. Also, remember that to turn a channel off
completely, you must turn off both the GAIN and MON controls).
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 MP8D effects bus.
This signal is post-fader 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 as it is heard 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 would 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 on this feature later in the manual for more information.
Alternatively, this signal can be connected to the input of an external
effects unit and returned via channel to any channel. If the effects unit
uses 1/4" plugs, you would connect the output of the unit to any one of
the BALANCED LINE IN jacks. In this mode, the internal effect is not
bypassed, so if you are not planning to use an internal effect, you must
turn down the MAIN EFFECTS and MONITOR EFFECTS Master controls.
Also, 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 the channel
GAIN controls will also affect this signal).

MASTER SECTION

1. MAIN MASTER CONTROL & CLIP LED
The MAIN MASTER control adjusts the overall level of the main mix, the RECORD OUT, and
the PA volume. Beside this control is a CLIP LED that indicates high signal levels within the
main mixing bus. Reduce the MAIN MASTER or the channel GAIN settings if the MAIN CLIP
LED is more than slightly active. (Note: to ensure maximum signal headroom and clarity, oper-
ate the mixer with the MAIN MASTER set at around 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
The overall level of the monitor mix is adjusted with the MONITOR MASTER control. Beside it is a
CLIP LED that 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).
3. MAIN EFFECTS MASTER CONTROL
The MAIN EFX master control regulates the amount of signal going from the output of the
internal DIGITAL EFFECTS PROCESSOR to the MAIN mixing bus where it is mixed with the
dry signals direct from the channels. It controls overall effects intensity on the MAIN LINE
OUT signal and RECORD OUT signal, as well through the main PA speakers.
