AUX3&4 / MASTER

42. PFL

Through this button you can route the pre AUX3/4 fader signal to the headphones bus. The signal is outputted for listening via the headphones output. The setting of the AUX3/4 fader is not relevant for the signal’s volume (PRE FADER LISTEN). The meter instrument in the master section is simultaneously switched, so that the left LED-chain indicates the level (in dBu) of the actually chosen AUX channel.

43. AUX3/4 VOLUME

This fader controls the summed audio signal at the AUX3/4 SEND output. When used for monitoring, this fader lets you control the volume of the monitor system.

44. 7-BAND EQUALIZER

The two 7-band equalizers can either be used for the MASTER outputs or for AUX3/4. Please also refer to paragraph 50 “EQ Routing”.

The EQ ON button activates the equalizer. The EQ’s insert point is post master fader and pre main output. The EQ is bypassed when the EQ ON switch is not locked in its “ON” position. Seven frequency bands offering 10 dB amplification/ attenuation and a quality of Q=2 allow shaping the overall sound to optimally

match it to the acoustic conditions	20
of different locations.
Frequency ranges as well as	15
characteristics of the EQ faders	10
are very praxis-oriented. In case	5
you want to have a clear and highly
intelligible sound, which, as a side	0
effect, provides the cymbals with	-5
more crisp, you should raise the	-10
levels of the 12kHz or 6kHz band
a bit. If the MIDs are nasal you	-15
should attenuate the mid range by	-20
some decibels. To provide the kick	20	100	1k	10k	20k

drum with more punch you have to boost the low frequency range, using the 63Hz or the 125Hz controls. In case the overall sound is undefined with too much bass, lowering the levels of these two frequency bands will solve the problem. However, especially with equalization you should be aware of the fact that in most cases “less is more”. Thus, your first choice should be to establish the mix using only the input channel controls and see if you get a satisfactory result.

If so, you can use the equalizer for the AUX3/4, where in most cases, especially when used for the monitoring, it is more needed.

45. POWER ANZEIGE

The POWER indicator lights when the CMS is operational. If the LED does not light after switching the power on, please make sure that the mains cable is correctly plugged in. If this is the case and the LED is still dimmed, please contact your dealer.
