1PHANTOM POWER

 

Many professional condenser mics need PHANTOM POWER, which is a

 

method of sending a powering voltage down the same wires as the mic signal.

 

Press the switch to enable the +48V power to all of the MIC inputs. The adjacent

 

LED illuminates when the power is active. TAKE CARE when using unbalanced

 

mics which may be damaged by the phantom power voltage. Balanced dynamic

2

mics can normally be used with phantom power switched on (contact your micro-

phone manufacturer for guidance)

 

 

 

Mics should always be plugged in, and all output faders

4

 

set to minimum before switching the Phantom Power

 

 

 

ON to avoid damage to external equipment

POWER INDICATOR

 

 

 

 

This LED lights to show when power is connected to the console.

3

BARGRAPH METERS

 

 

 

The three colour peak reading BARGRAPH METERS normally follow the

 

 

 

Monitor selection to show the level of the MIX RIGHT and MIX LEFT outputs,

 

 

 

giving you a constant warning of excessive peaks in the signal which might cause

9

 

 

overloading. Aim to keep the signal just touching the amber segments at peak lev-

 

 

els for best performance.

 

 

 

Similarly, if the output level is too low and hardly registering at all on the

 

 

 

meters, the level of background noise may become significant. Take care to set

10

up the input levels for best performance.

When any PFL switch is pressed, the meters switch to show the selected PFL

 

 

 

 

 

 

signal on both meters, in mono.

4

2TK LEVEL

 

 

 

The rotary control sets the level of the 2 Track Tape input, which is routed to

 

 

 

the headphones, monitor outputs and meters. These inputs, on RCA phono con-

 

 

 

nectors are an ideal to connect the playback of a tape machine for monitoring.

5

MIX/SUB

 

 

 

When this switch is released the meters and headphones monitor the Mix sig-

 

 

 

nal. Alternatively, pressing the switch selects the SUB mix as the monitor source.

6

2TK

 

 

 

Pressing the 2TK switch selects the 2TK input as the monitor source, instead

 

 

 

of the MIX or SUB signal (see MIX/SUB above).

7

MONITOR & PHONES LEVEL

 

 

 

This control sets the output level to the MONITOR LEFT & RIGHT outputs. If

 

 

 

HEADPHONES are plugged into the PHNS jack the Monitor outputs are cut off,

 

 

 

and the knob then sets the headphone listening level. When the PHONES are

 

 

 

unplugged the Monitor output is restored.

8

AUX MASTERS

 

 

 

Each Aux output has a master output level control and associated AFL switch.
