HOW TO IMPROVE THE SOUND
The RCF mixing consoles mixer implements several powerful tools to improve the sound
quality of your music even more.
COMP: Turn the COMP control clockwise to add a compression effect to the signal. This allows to control the dynamic of the signal, limiting peaks and
gaining level in case of low signals.
EQ: A three‑band EQ is available on each mono channel, while a dual‑band EQ is available on stereo channels 9‑10 and 11‑12. Adjust these parameters
to subtract noise frequencies or magnify desired sounds.
INTERNAL FX: Keep singing in the microphone, turn clockwise the yellow FX send until the red
led PEAK/MUTE lights occasionally. Turn the INTERNAL FX PROGRAM select encoder and press it to
confirm the selection of the required FX (see the FX LIST below). Now, turn the FX RETURN fader up
carefully. Stop at the required level.
Ten effect algorithms are available with ten variations each:
ECHO: Ideal for delay effects. Use for vocals and brass.
ECHO+VERB: A deeper, more sophisticated effect than ECHO. It adds a reverb
effect to delay rebounds.
TREMOLO: Ideal guitar effect.
PLATE: Recommended for snare drums or percussions, like congas or timbales.
CHORUS: Try this effect on an acoustic guitar or to create a deeper stereo effect for background vocals.
VOCAL: Ideal for adding depth and intensity to leading vocals or solo instruments.
ROTARY: Great for Hammond organs or Rhodes Pianos.
SMALL ROOM: Try this effect with small percussions, like castanet or claves.
FLANGE+VERB: Great for electric guitar to obtain particular effects.
LARGE HALL: good for voices, power electric guitar and main instruments, expecially on ballad songs.
