[65]These selector switches route the effect signal to the main mix or to the subgroups 1-2 or 3-4. If the MAIN/SUB switch is not pressed, the effect signal is sent to the main mix and the SUB 1/2 / SUB 3/4 switch below is inoperative. If the upper switch is pressed (SUB), however, the lower switch determines whether the effect signal is routed to subgroups 1 and 2 (SUB 1/2) or 3 and 4 (SUB 3/4).

[66]The FX SEND 1 and 2 connectors also provide the master FX send signals, for example, to connect them to the inputs of an external effects device. However, these are “dry” signals only with no “effect signals” from the built-in effects processor!

[67]The Stereo FX RETURN inputs 1 and 2 return the effect signals from external effects processors and add them to the main mix.

[68]The FOOTSW(ITCH) connector allows you to connect a standard dual footswitch to separately enable/disable FX 1 or FX 2. The tip of the ¼" plug controls FX 1, the ring controls FX 2.

[69]Use the POWER switch to put the mixer into operation. This switch should always be in the “Off” position when you connect your unit to the mains.

◊Please note: The POWER switch does not fully disconnect the unit from the mains. To disconnect the unit from the mains, pull out the main cord plug or appliance coupler. When installing the product, ensure the plug or appliance coupler is readily operable. Unplug the power cord when the unit is not used for prolonged periods of time.

[70]With the PHANTOM switch you can activate the phantom power supply for the XLR connectors of the mono channels for condenser microphones. The +48 V-LED [37] illuminates when phantom power is on. In most cases, dynamic microphones can still be used as long as they are connected in a balanced configuration. If in doubt, please contact the manufacturer of your microphone!

[71]The mains connection is a standard IEC receptacle. An appropriate power cord is supplied with the unit.

[72]FUSE HOLDER. Before connecting the unit to the mains, ensure that the voltage setting matches your local voltage. Blown fuses should only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating. Please also read the information given in chapter 6 “Specifications”.

3. Digital Effects Processor

Fig. 3.1: List of all effects presets

99 FIRST-CLASS PRESETS

Here is the list of all multi-effects presets. The built-in

effects processor offers you various standard effects such as

reverb, chorus, flanger, delay and a variety of combination effects from our renowned studio effects processor

VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P. Use the FX control on the channels and the FX SEND control to supply the effects processor with signals. A built-in digital stereo effects processor has the benefit of no external wiring, thus reducing the risk of ground loops or level differences. Handling is therefore much easier.

PARALLEL FX

The effects presets 1 to 70 provide classic “add-to-mix” effects. So, when you turn up the FX 1 (or 2) TO MAIN control, you create a mix of the (dry) channel signal and the effect signal. The balance between the two signals can be set with the FX send and FX 1/2 TO MAIN controls.

This also applies to adding effect signals to the AUX 1 (or 2) monitor mix, with the exception that the mix here is adjusted with the AUX 1 (or 2) control in the channel strip and the FX TO AUX 1 (or 2) potentiometer. Of course, the effects processor must receive a signal from the channel using the FX 1 (or 2) control. Make sure that the PRE switch in the corresponding channel strip(s) is pressed. Otherwise, the AUX buses will be set post-fader making the volume of the

AUX monitor signal dependent on the position of the channel fader(s).

INSERT FX (channel is muted)

Effects presets #71 and higher process the entire signal, unlike the “add-to- mix” effects. When you use an insert preset, be sure to separate the respective channel from all buses (SUB button and MAIN button not pressed) and only route the effect signal to the main mix (FX 1/2 control, FX SEND 1/2 control and FX TO MAIN 1/2 control).

◊The channel fader of the corresponding channel remains active and governs (in combination with the FX controls) the signal level sent to the built-in effects processors.
