4:Headphone jack - Connect any standard stereo headphones to this jack (via a 1/4" TRS plug) for private monitoring of the main stereo output (including all connected Aux returns). The built-in PL 1602 headphone preamp delivers

100 mw at 32 ohms.

5:Main L/R faders These faders determine the final output signal level. Signals from all channels and Auxiliary returns are routed here just before leaving the PL 1602 via its left and right Main Out jacks (see #7 on page 8 for more information). The “0” position of each fader indicates unity gain (no level

attenuation or boost). Moving each fader down from the “0” position (towards “”) causes the signal to be attenuated (at the very bottom, it is attenuated infinitely— in other words, there is no sound). Moving each fader up from the “0” position (towards “+15”) causes the signal to be boosted by as much as 15 dB. For more information, see the “Setting The Correct Gain Structure” section on page 12.

6:Power LED - Lights whenever the PL 1602 is powered on.
