Main and Monitor Operation, Packing the Escort

The MODE switch on CHANNEL 5 sets that channel for STEREO or MONO operation. On CHANNEL 4, use the LEFT input only for MONO operation, or both LEFT and RIGHT inputs for STEREO. Inputs on CHANNEL 1–3 are MONO. The MODE switch on CHANNEL 5 is also very useful for playing tapes or CDs with “split tracks”. Setting the switch to MONO allows the signal from a source connected to either the LEFT or RIGHT input to be directed to both speakers.

Main and Monitor Operation

The Escort ™ 2000 can also be used in applications where stage monitoring is required. By operating the mixer in the mono mode, the right speaker can be used for providing sound to the audience (MAIN) and the left can be used for the performers (MON). The MASTER VOLUME controls (Fig. 8) allow the volume of these two speakers to be set independently. These controls are also labeled MAIN and MON for this purpose. If additional sound is required, the auxiliary output (AUX OUT) can be used to drive an auxiliary monitor amplifier or powered monitor speakers.

Auxiliary Output (AUX OUT) Operation

The AUX OUT is a line-level output from the mixer that can be used for recording, or driving an auxiliary amplifier.

Warning:	Connecting a	tape machine to the AUX OUT to record while simultaneously connecting the tape machine’s
output into the mixer inputs		can create an electronic feedback loop. Connect only the tape machine’s inputs	or outputs to
the mixer, never both.

Packing the Escort 2000

One of the Escort’s many benefits is that the entire sound system can be packed inside its easily transportable case (Fig. 11). Begin by folding the speaker stands and securing them into their storage compartment using the two straps. Place

the microphone(s) in their storage compartment, putting the cables in the other compartment or with the speaker stands. Lay the speakers face down on top of the bottom tray and secure the four latches. The Escort 2000 is now ready to be carried or pulled on its built-in, luggage-style wheels.
