channels are identical.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(1) GAIN CONTROL

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Gain Control determines the proportion of the channel signal

in the mix,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(2) REVERB CONTROL

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Reverb Control adjusts the level of signal sent by each chan-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

nel to the internal Reverb DSP (Digital Sound Processor). The

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

signal sent is mono, post-High/Low and will be affected by the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

channel Gain Control.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(3) HIGH CONTROL

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Turn this control to the right to boost high frequencies on the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

channel, adding crispness to percussion from drum machines,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(6)

cymbals and synths. Turn to the left to cut these frequencies, re-

(5)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ducing sibilance, hiss, or high frequency feedback. The control has

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a shelving response giving 15dB of boost or cut at 12kHz.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(4) LOW CONTROL

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add warmth to vocals or extra punch to guitars, drums and synths

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

on the channel by turning this control to the right. Turn to the left to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

reduce stage rumble, hum or to improve a mushy sound. The con-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

trol has a shelving response giving 15dB of bust or cut at 100Hz.

(5) LINE INPUT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Line input is designed to accept balanced or unbalanced line-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

level signals such as those from keyboards, drum machines, or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

samplers. Use the GAIN control (1) to adjust for the desired level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If a balanced signal is to be connected to the line input, then a

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1/4” TRS (stereo) phone plug should be wired for: Tip = positive

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(+), Ring = negative (-), Sleeve = ground.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(6) MIC INPUT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Mic input is an electronically balanced XLR type designed

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to accept signals from any balanced low impedance (Low Z) mi-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

crophone. It will be necessary to adjust the channel gain with the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

input GAIN control (1) to achieve a nominal operating level. The

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

XLR jack is configured for: Pin1 = ground, Pin2 = positive (+), Pin3

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

= negative (-).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Note: Only either the Mic or the Line input of a given channel can

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

be connected at one time. Do not connect both simultaneously to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the same channel.)

(7) MASTER — VOLUME CONTROL

This controls the final level of the signal output.

(8) MASTER — REVERB CONTROL

This controls the level of the reverb effects sound.
