Guided Tour - Main Section
7:Tape In Level - Controls the level of signal arriving at the Tape Input jacks (see #1 on the preceding page).
8:Record Out Level - Controls the level of signal being output by the Record Out jacks (see #3 on the preceding page).
9:Auxiliary Return Level (1,2) - These knobs determine the input level of signal arriving via the TM500’s two stereo
Auxiliary return jacks (see #2 on the previous page). The “0” (2 o’clock) position of each knob indicates unity gain
(no level attenuation or boost). Moving each knob counterclockwise from the “0” position (towards “∞ ”) causes the signal to be attenuated (at the fully counterclockwise position, it is attenuated infinitely— in other words, there is no sound). Moving each knob clockwise from the “0” position (towards “+10”) causes the signal to be boosted by as much as 10 dB. Note that, when the DSP On/Off switch (see #19 on the next page) is pressed in, the internal DSP signal is instead rout- ed to Aux Return 2, with the Aux Return Level 2 knob controlling the amount of “wet,” processed signal. For information on how to properly set these, see the sections in this manual entitled “Setting the Correct Gain Structure,” “Using the Aux Sends and Returns” and “Using DSP” (pages 14, 20 and 22).
10:Auxiliary Send Level (1,2) - These knobs determine the output level of signal being routed to the TM500’s two stereo Auxiliary Send jacks (see #6 on the preceding page) and, in the case of Aux Send 2, to the internal DSP (see the
“Using DSP” section on page 22 in this manual). The “0” (2 o’clock) position of each knob indicates unity gain (no level attenuation or boost). Moving each knob counterclockwise from the “0” position (towards “∞ ”) causes the send signal to be attenuated (at the fully counterclockwise position, it is attenuated infinitely— in other words, there is no signal being sent). Moving each knob clockwise from the “0” position (towards “+10”) causes the send signal to be boosted by as much as 10 dB. For information on how to properly set these, see the sections in this manual entitled “Setting the Correct Gain Structure” and “Using the Aux Sends and Returns” (pages 14 and 20).
11:Meter - This
12:Power LED - Lights steadily green whenever the TM500 is powered on.
13:Phantom LED - Lights steadily red when the Phantom Power switch (see #14 below) is engaged.
14:Phantom Power switch - When this switch is pressed in, the TM500 delivers 48 volts of phantom power to pins
2 and 3 of all XLR microphone connectors in all eight monophonic channels. WARNING: Only use this switch with the TM500 powered down. Before turning phantom power on, be sure to disconnect all
15:Meter / Headphone Source switch - When out (the “up” position), the Left/Right stereo output signal is routed to the headphones jack (see #25 on the next page) and to the
16:Rev To Aux 1 Level - This knob determines the level of signal being routed from the internal DSP to Aux Send 1. It allows you to add reverb or other signal processing to the sound in onstage monitors or headphones connected to the TM500 Aux Send 1 jack (when operating the TM500 in standard stereo configuration) or the right speaker outputs (when operating the TM500 in “split mono” configuration; that is, when the Aux 1 / Monitor switch [see #20 on the next page] is pressed in). For more information, refer to the wiring interconnection diagrams on pages 11 and 12 and to the sections in this manual entitled “Using the Aux Sends and Returns” and “Using DSP” on pages 20 and 22.
