The standard channels (1 - 8) feature discrete low noise mic preamps with globally switched phantom power and 3-band EQ. Channels (1 - 4) feature true high-impedance 1/4" mic inputs. Two additional channels (5 - 6) offer 1/4" line-level inputs. Channels (1 -6) feature globally switched Low Cut filters. Channels (1 -6) feature Pad Switches to accomodate a wide range of input signals. Finally, there are three stereo channels (7 - 9) for tape, CD, or synth inputs.
The Master section features a unique graphic equalizer/power amp mode switch. Without patching, the XR 696 can be used as a full stereo mixer amplifier (default). In the Main/Monitor mode, one graphic and amplifier can be used for monitor and the other graphic and amplifier for the main L and R (mono) signal.
Also included in the Master section are 16 stereo digital effects from the award-winning Deltafex® digital signal processor. By including separate Time/Size and Color/Tone controls, the user can create many effect settings from the 16 we provided. All channels, except Channel 9, have a dedicated digital effects send routed directly to the DSP effects processor.
To take advantage of the XR 696’s powerful features, please read this owner’s manual carefully and keep it as a reference. This manual includes several sections detailing individual areas of mixer operation including: control functions, set-up, and applications in sound reinforcement.
