10EURODESK SX2442FX/SX3242FX User Manual

[40]The SOLO/PFL switch determines whether the monitored signal is pre (PFL) or post-fader (SOLO) after pressing the SOLO/PFL switch (the LED illuminates). The level meter indicates the corresponding signal (see (39)). When you adjust a signal with the GAIN control, it is advisable to select PFL mode, so that the level shown is independent of the channel fader position.

2.6.1 Talkback

The talkback function of the EURODESK allows you to communicate with the musicians in the recording room or on the stage. The talkback signal is present at the AUX SEND outputs, which are particularly useful for monitor/ headphone mixes.

◊IMPORTANT! High volume levels may damage your hearing and/or your headphones/loudspeakers. To avoid switch-on/off thumps from the console and any downstream devices, always make sure that the power amp(s) or active speaker(s) are the last components that are switched on and the first to be switched off. Always make sure that the appropriate volume is set.

[41]The LEVEL control determines the volume of the talkback signal at the AUX 1/2 outputs.

[42]Use the TALK TO AUX 1/2 switch to activate the built-in talkback microphone. Its signal is sent to the AUX SEND jacks 1 and 2. Keep the switch pressed while you’re speaking.

[43]This is the built-in talkback microphone.

2.6.2 Phones & control room

[44]The PHONES/CTRL R control adjusts the volume of the headphones connected to the PHONES/ CTRL ROOM OUT jack (see (46)). If you have an active monitor speaker or power amp connected here, you can also control the monitor volume.

[45]These switches select the signal sent to the PHONES/ CTRL ROOM jack. Available sources are: MAIN, CD/TAPE, AUX 1/2 and subgroups 1 - 2 and 3 - 4.

[47]TO MAIN controls the volume of, for example, a CD player connected to the CD/tape input connectors (see (49)).

[48]When the STANDBY switch is pressed, all input channels are muted. Only the CD/tape signal will be routed to the main mix. In this way, you can prevent the microphones from pickung up unwanted sounds or noise that would interfere with CD playback during a break. The main mix and channel faders can remain in their normal positions while playing back music from CD (using the CD/ TAPE INPUTs (49)), so you don’t lose your mix.

Fig. 2.21: CD/tape connectors

[49]The CD/TAPE INPUT RCA connectors are for the connection of CD players, tape decks or other line-level sources. The signal volume is adjusted with the TO MAIN control.

[50]The CD/TAPE OUTPUT RCA connectors provide the stereo main mix signal to a tape deck or DAT recorder to record your mix. The signal is taken pre-fader, so that it will not be influenced by the fader positions.

2.8 Master aux send 1 and 2

[46] Connect your headphones or monitor speaker to the PHONES/CTRL ROOM OUT ¼" TRS connector.
