24.MONITOR 1-4 CONTROLS These are the master out- puts for the four monitor sends. These correspond to the bal- anced 1/4” MON 1-4output jacks (#39).

25.GROUP/SUB-MIX FADERS 1-4

Once a channel has been assigned to one of these faders, the mixing process is simplified to using these four faders. If these faders are not assigned to the Master L-Rfaders (#27), then each fader is bused to the corresponding 4 GROUP 1/4” outputs (#40). By assigning the 4 faders to the Master L-Rfaders, the operator can use the faders to sub-mix groups.

26. GROUP PFL SWITCHES

These PFL switches allow the operator to monitor the entire GROUP mix. If distortion is heard or if the PFL level is near PEAK on the Master L/R METERS, lower the channel faders assigned to that group. Also check the channel PEAK LEDs.

27.GROUP ASSIGNMENT SWITCHES

These switches send the sub-group mix to the main L/R faders. For mono mixing, assign to both L/R.

28.MASTER L/R FADERS

These faders adjust the level of the main stereo output created by all channels and groups assigned to L/R faders. Output appears at the L/R balanced XLR connectors (#45).

29. MONO OUTPUT

The C44 SERIES creates an extra mono output from the L/R master faders (post) for center, side fill speakers or subwoofers. The output is at the MONO XLR connector (#46).

30.HEADPHONE AND METER SOURCE The stereo PHONES control sets the level of the PHONES jack (#42). The PFL, L/R, MONO, MON 1-2and MON 3-4switches allow for isolation of these sources through the headphones and the L/R LED METERS (#32).

31.PFL RED LED

Indicates that the headphone & meters are monitoring only the channels or groups where the PFL is switched on.

32. L/R LED VU METERS

This group of 10 LEDs offer 6 dB increment resolution that give the operator a visual indication of the mixer’s output levels, selec- table by the METER SOURCE or PFL switches (#30).

33.DUAL PRECISION 9 BAND GRAPHIC EQs are one octave filters at 60,125, 250, 500, 1k, 2k, 4k, 8k & 16k Hz centers that offer ±12dB adjustment to help elimi- nate feedback & enhance tone for the main or monitor mix.

34.EQ SWITCH 1 & 2

These switches swap the 9 band EQ’s from the standard L/R main outputs “OUT” to the MON 1 & MON 2 outputs “IN” respectively.

35.POWER LED Verifies the mixer is on.

36.EFFECTS 1 & 2 OUTPUT JACKS

1/4” outputs drive external effects. Connect your effects processor’s inputs to these jacks.

37. RETURN 3 L/R INPUT JACKS

Returns a stereo signal from an external effect. Connect your effects processors’ stereo outputs to these jacks. If only one RTN 3 jack is used, the mono signal will go to both L/R .

38.RTN 4 L/R INPUT JACKS Returns a stereo signal from other sources.

39.MONITOR 1-4 OUTPUT JACKS

The C44 SERIES provides balanced 1/4” outputs for long cable runs. Connect your monitor power amps to these jacks.

40. GROUP 1-4 OUTPUT JACKS

The C44 SERIES provides balanced 1/4” outputs. Connect your 4-track recorder or side fill power amps to these jacks.

18. CHANNEL FADER

The CHANNEL FADER adjusts the output level of the channel. The signal will go to one or more of the Master Faders, depend- ing on both the Channel Assignment switches and the PAN con- trol. Calibrated 60mm FADERS with audio taper are featured for smooth fade-outs. Slide all faders down when connect- ing your inputs. Note: for best board performance, channel faders should be set slightly higher than the Sub-Groups and Master L/R faders.

19.MIC PHANTOM POWER SWITCH / RED LED This switch provides phantom power for condenser mics such as Carvin’s CM90E in groups of 8 channels. This leaves the remaining MIC inputs for sources that don’t require phantom power. The LINE inputs are unaffected by phantom power.

21. SOURCE EFF2/MON4 SWITCH

In the “OUT” position, the EFFECTS2 processor gets its signal from the EFF2 channel send control. Clicking this switch “IN” will route the MON 4 mix (#10) to the internal EFFECTS 2 processor. This allows both effects to be used on each channel simultaneously.

22.RETURN 3 L/R

Receives stereo or 2 mono effect signals from the RETURN 3 L /R jacks. These signals will also be present at MON 1 (#39).

23. RCA TAPE IN/RTN EFF4 JACKS

Receives a signal from the RTN 4 L/R 1/4” jacks (#38) & from the TAPE IN jacks (#44). These signals will also be present at MON 1.

41. EFF SW 1-2 FOOTSWITCH JACK

The optional FS22 will remotely shut off EFFECTS 1 or 2.

42. HEADPHONE JACK

1/4” stereo jack for headphone or control room output.

43. RCA L & R TAPE OUT

RCA jacks for connecting to a tape recorder input.

44. RCA L & R TAPE IN

For stereo playback of a tape/CD (parallel with RTN 4 jacks).

45. L/R XLR OUTPUT CONNECTORS

This set of balanced XLR connectors are for connecting the main L/R output to power amps or recording gear.

46. MONO XLR OUTPUT CONNECTOR

A balanced XLR output is featured for side fills or subwoofers.3
