4. Channel Mon Control	EFX	4	5	6
Each channel has a Mon (monitor send) control which varies the amount	3			7
	2			8
of channel signal being tapped off and sent to the monitor bus in the
	1			9
MP6D. The Mon signal is pre-fader and pre-EQ, in other words it is taken
		0		10
before the Gain and EQ controls so that the main mix can be EQ'd inde-	HIGH	3		3
pendently of the monitor mix. As a result, channel EQ settings do not	6			6
affect the sound of the monitor signals, nor do the channel Gain controls	9			9
	12			12
regulate their volume. (Note: with an independent monitor mix, it may
		15		15
be beneficial to connect a graphic equalizer to the Monitor output for
	LOW	3		3
feedback control. Also, remember that to turn a channel off completely,
	6			6
you must turn off both the Gain and Mon controls).	9			9
5. Channel EFX Control	12			12
	MON	15	5	15
Each channel has an EFX (effects send) control which adjusts the level		4		6
of the channel signal being tapped off and sent to the MP6D effects bus.	3			7
	2			8
This signal is post-fader and post-EQ; in other words both the channel
	1			9
EQ controls and the channel Gain control affect it. Normally, the out-		0		10
put signal from the effects bus is internally routed to the Digital Effects	GAIN	4	5	6
Processor. In this situation, the EFX control would regulate the intensity	3			7
	2			8
of the built-ineffects as it is heard on that channel's sound through the
	1			9
main PA system and the Record Out jacks. In standard operating mode
		0		10
with the built-ineffects 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-inch 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 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, operate 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 prevent clipping the bus).

3. Main Effects Master Control

The Main EFX master control regulates the amount of signal going from the output of the inter- nal 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.

4. Monitor Effects Master

The Monitor EFX master control regulates the amount of signal going from the output of the internal Digital Effects Processor to the Monitor mixing bus where it is mixed with the dry signals direct from the channel Mon send controls. It controls overall effects intensity of the Monitor Line Out signal.
