MONITOR SPEAKERS

4. TAPE/EFFECTS RETURN LEVEL CONTROL

The TAPE/ EFF RTN control is a stereo effects or tape return volume control. It can receive input from both the L/R TAPE RTN RCA jacks and the L/R 1/4” EFFECTS RETURN jacks. This volume controls the return level being fed back into the master L/R stereo mix. A mono return into the stereo mix can be achieved by simply feeding the mono signal into both Left and right return jacks. The stereo return can also be used as just another input to the stereo mix for a keyboard or other stereo gear.

5. DSP RETURN LEVEL CONTROL

The DSP EFF RTN level control is the stereo output volume control for the inter- nal digital effects processor. This volume controls the return level being fed back into the master L/R stereo mix and a smaller amount to the monitor mix.

6. MONITOR LINE OUT JACK

The MONITOR LINE OUT jack is where the monitor mix from the MONITOR master level control is output. This is a line level output and can be used to drive an external power amplifier or it can be plugged into one of the AMP PATCH jacks to drive one of the internal power amplifiers along with its corresponding graphic EQ.

7. LEFT/RIGHT LINE OUT JACKS

The LEFT/RIGHT LINE OUT jacks are post graphic EQ line output jacks for the stereo mix. The same signals are also being fed to the internal power amplifier. Note: If the AMP PATCH jacks are being used for patching the monitor out to one of the internal amplifiers, then that new signal will also be present on the corresponding LEFT/RIGHT LINE OUT jack. The stereo mix may still be accessed at the RCA TAPE SEND jacks if needed.

NOTE : This jack should not be patch into the AMP PATCH jacks, feedback oscillations with occur.

8. LEFT/RIGHT AMP PATCH JACKS

The LEFT/RIGHT AMP PATCH jacks are pre-graphic EQ and normalized to the stereo mix L/R MAIN level control. When something is plugged into these jacks, the stereo mix is disconnected from the graphic EQ and internal power amplifier allowing the new signal, that was plugged into the jack, to go through the graphic EQ and to the internal power amplifier. Also, this new signal appears at the cor- responding LEFT/RIGHT LINE OUT jacks. A typical use for these jacks is in the case where a powered mono main mix and powered monitor mix are needed. Here either the left or right main mix can be used for the mono main mix and the monitor line out jack can be plugged in the opposite AMP PATCH jack for a pow- ered monitor mix.

9. TAPE SEND AND TAPE RETURN RCA JACKS

The LEFT/RIGHT TAPE SEND RCA jacks deliver the main mix output pre the graphic EQ uninterrupted by the status of the AMP PATCH jack. If the AMP PATCH jacks are being used, the TAPE SEND jacks are a way to access the main mix.

The LEFT/RIGHT TAPE RETURN RCA jacks are RCA inputs to the TAPE/ EFF RTN level control. These TAPE RETURN jacks can also be used for returning another effects processor or instrument such as a keyboard to the main mix.
