The channel should be set up as if it were receiving any line input signal. This means setting the proper input trim level with the fader at unity and setting the pan control (stereo or mono). Next you would MUTE the channel which would send the auxiliary returns out the ALT 3/4 Bus.

(3)Q: How do I set up a monitor or auxiliary send master?

A:There are two ways:

1)Insert a mono 1⁄4" cord into the auxiliary (monitor) output jack and return the other end of the cord to the line input of an unused channel. Engage the MUTE button on the channel which will send the signal out to the ALT 3/4 bus. Pan the channel hard left or right depending on which bus (3 or 4) you want to come out of. Connect another mono

1⁄4" cord from the corresponding ALT bus 3 or 4 output to the input of the monitor amplifier.

or

2)Insert a mono 1⁄4" cord into the auxiliary (monitor) output jack and return the other end of the cord to the line inputs on either of the channels 1–8. Connect another mono 1⁄4" cord from the corresponding channel access jack to the input of the effect device or moni- tor amplifier. Make sure to insert the plug all the way into the access jack on the mixer so the signal will not go to the main L/R outputs.

Either of these 2 ways will allow you to con- trol the overall level of the auxiliary or monitor sends by using the channel fader as your mas- ter. Treat it as if it were any signal but be careful when you increase the individual chan- nel send levels because this may eventually clip the input stage on the master send chan- nel. If this happens, simply turn down the trim on the master send channel a little bit.

(4)Q: What modifications can be done to the mixer?

Auxiliaries:

Option #1: Pre EQ, Pre Fader, Pre Mute/ALT

Option #2: Post EQ, Pre Fader, Pre Mute/ALT

Option #3: Post EQ, Post Fader, Pre Mute/ALT

(STOCK: Post EQ, Post Fader, Post Mute/ALT)

Channel Access:

Option #4: Pre EQ, Pre Fader

Option #5: Post EQ, Pre Fader

(STOCK: Post EQ, Post Fader)

(5)Q. How do I perform the modifications to my mixer?

A:Boy, are we glad you asked! Due to overwhelming demand we have included a section especially for Propeller-Head-Types on the next few pages called “MODIFICA- TIONS-O-RAMA”.

(6)Q: Can I use the Bal/Unbal Main Outputs and Mono Output at the same time?

A:Yes! This will not degrade the signal in any way. Remember the polarities on the main and mono outputs when running balanced lines (see page 14 of the Owner’s Manual).

This configuration can be very useful when an extra monitor send or a mono recording is needed. The mono output will be the summed output of the L/R Main Output.

It is important to remember that the Mono Output will be the same level as the Main Output but can be controlled at the monitor amplifier. It can also be controlled by con- necting the Mono Output to the line input of an unused channel and Muted to the ALT 3/4 Bus and then connected to the monitor am- plifier — this can be a little tricky because when the main output fader levels change so do the monitor levels.

(7)Q: Can I split the signal at the Main

Outputs with Y-cords?

A:Yes! There is more than enough signal strength available at the Main Outputs to drive the high impedance inputs of two devices with no quality loss of the original signal. For ex- ample, if you wanted to record the Main Output to a cassette deck as well as a DAT, two Y-cords could be used to send an identical sig- nal to both devices. This type of configuration could be very useful for many applications.
