EQ features

Many audio signals coming into the console require some degree of corrective equal- ization in order to be part of a good sounding mix.

Each stereo input is equipped with a fixed-frequency, three-band EQ. The HF and LF bands have a shelving response. The MF band is bell-shaped, centered at 3kHz. The EQ circuitry is always in the signal path. Set all EQ controls to “0” (flat) if no equaliza- tion is desired.

71high frequency—HF—15dB boost and cut at 10kHz—Shelving Response mid frequency—MF—15dB boost and cut centered at the 3kHz, Q of 1.5 low frequency—LF—15dB boost and cut at 80Hz—Shelving Response

aux send features

Two aux sends are available for creating individual output mixes from the Stereo Returns. These mixes can be used for driving effects processors, providing monitor mixes, creating broadcast or alternate sound reinforcement mixes, or other special requirements. The signal fed to each of the Auxes is a sum of the Left and Right stereo signals.The Aux sends are normally fed from the Post-fader stereo signal. When the PRE switch is depressed,theAux sends are fed from the Post-EQ,Pre-fader signal. The Aux sends are always affected by the Mute switch.

72Aux 1/2 or 9/10 selector button

This button determines which Auxes receive the stereo return signal. When the button is in the “OUT” position, Aux 1 and 2 are selected. When the button is in the “IN” posiition, Aux 9 and 10 are selected.

73PRE

The default signal source for the aux sends is post-fader. This switch is used for select- ing the Pre-fader signal for the Aux sends.The Pre-fader signal is derived Post-EQ.

When the button is in the “OUT” position, aux sends are Post-fader. When the button is in the “IN” position, aux sends are Pre-fader (Post-EQ)

74aux sends (1-2 or 9-10)

These knobs adjust the amount of signal sent to the corresponding Aux buses. Unity gain occurs at the zero setting, with 6dB additional gain available above that.
