CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS

bus or the internal DSP Echo Effects. The channel Effects Send control is mono, post-EQ, and post-Ch Volume meaning the signal level sent to the Effects Send bus will be affected by the Channel Volume Control (11) setting. For almost all effects send purposes, post-volume is desirable

so that when a Ch Volume level is adjusted, any reverb send from that channel follows the volume. Otherwise, when the volume is turned down, the

reverb from that channel would still be (14) audible. You can also use this effect

send to feed inputs of a multi-track recorder or any other unbalanced line level application.

(8) PAN
The channel Pan positions the output of
the channel in the left/right stereo field of	(12)
the Master mix and also pans between
the Master mix and also pans between
S1 and S2 in the Submix. Its constant-
power design ensures there are no level
discrepancies whether a signal is hard-
panned, center-stage, or somewhere in-	(15)
panned, center-stage, or somewhere in-	(15)
between.
(9) SUBMIX 1 & 2 SELECT BUTTON
When the Channel S1/S2 button is	(8)
selected (button depressed), the	(8)
channel signal is fed to the Submix 1 &
2 bus, controlled by the Submix 1 & 2	(9)
Volume Faders (16), as well as the	(9)
Main Left and Right bus. This signal is
post channel Volume and the placement	(11)
between Sub 1 and Sub 2 is adjusted by	(11)

	the Pan control. The Submix bus offers
	you a second stereo submix with its own	(10)
	stereo Sub 1 and Sub 2 master faders	(10)
	stereo Sub 1 and Sub 2 master faders
	and Sub outputs. The Submix can be
	used as a mixing aid both live and in the
	studio; for example, to combine certain

signals to send to a monitor feed, external power amp, or to an external effects processor. It can also be used as a stereo headphone mix if faders are desired for controlling headphone volume. Using the Submix 1 & 2 Send/Return Inserts (29), the Sub signal can be sent out to an external effects processor and then returned into the mixer and mixed onto the Main Left and Right bus allowing these more sensitive faders to adjust the returned signal level.

(10) CHANNEL PFL BUTTON

This button sends the pre-volume channel signal to the PFL bus for monitoring the input signal with headphones before increasing the channel volume into the mix.

(11) CHANNEL VOLUME CONTROL

This adjusts the volume level of each channel signal sent to the Effects, Submix, and Main Left & Right.

(12) EFFECTS SEND LEVEL CONTROL

This control adjusts the final mixed level of the channel Effects Send signals. This signal is then sent to either the internal Echo Effects DSP or the Effects Send Output (27). Plugging into either the Effects Send Output (27) or Effects Return Input

(28)jack will automatically disable the internal Echo Effects. The Effects Send signal can be output to an effects processor, multi- track recorder, or used for any other line-level auxiliary purpose, such as monitor feeds.

(13) ECHO EFFECTS DELAY TIME

This rotary wheel can be used to select one of 16 preset time intervals of the built-in Echo Effects DSP between settings 0 - F as shown on the Echo Effects Display (14). Setting 0 - 2 selects the shortest echo time to emulate plate and doubling effects whereas settings 7 - F enables the longest echo time for stadium reverbs and delay sounds. Settings around 3 - 6 emulate room and hall reverbs by adjusting the Repeat Control (15) to approx ten o’clock.
