40. AUX 2/EFX RETURN FADER, MUTE
The EMAC output is added to any signals going into the AUX 2 RETURN (10) jacks from an external effects processor. The final effects signal is then sent to this MUTE switch and stereo fader. It acts like a channel fader, except it is adding the final effects signal to the main mix, rather than adding a channel signal.
Turned fully up, it provides 10 dB of gain, “U” is unity gain, and fully down is off.
Press MUTE to quickly compare the difference between adding, or not adding effects. The MUTE and fader affect the level of the effects going to the main mix only, and not of any effects going to the monitors.
41. AUX 1/MON SEND
This allows you to control the level of the signal going out to your monitors.
Any signals from each channel’s AUX 1/MON
(21)control (and the EFFECTS TO MONITOR
(42)control), are summed together, then sent through this master control.
Turned fully up, it provides 6 dB of gain, “U” is unity gain, and fully down is off.
When the talent wants a louder monitor mix, this is the control to crank up — watch out for feedback!
42. EFFECTS TO MONITOR
Typically, this control is used to add effects to the stage monitors. Any effects sent to the monitors are the same as in the main mix, except for the level, and they are summed mono. The effects level sent to the monitor mix is not affected by the AUX 2/EFX RETURN (40) fader, so the monitors and main mix effect levels can be set independently.
Turned fully up, this control provides 6 dB of gain, and “U” is unity gain. Turn it fully down for no effects sent to your monitors.
This control is similar to each channel’s AUX 1/MON (21) control, except it adds the effects (summed mono) to the monitor mix, rather than adding a channel signal.
43. AUX 1 RETURN FADER and MUTE
Any signals going into the AUX 1 RETURN
(9)jacks from an external processor pass through the MUTE switch and then to this ste- reo fader. This is like a channel fader, except it is adding the signal from an external device to the main mix, rather than adding a channel signal. Turned fully up, it provides 10 dB of gain, “U” is unity gain, and fully down is off.
EMAC EFFECTS PROCESSOR
EMAC stands for Extended Multiply and Ac- cumulate, which is a proprietary
The mono signal going into the EMAC comes from the AUX 2/EFX (22) controls of each channel, summed together and passed through the AUX 2/EFX SEND (38) control. Note that the AUX 2/EFX signals are post- channel EQ and
The EMAC takes the mono input, processes it and creates a stereo output. A footswitch allows the EMAC to be bypassed and a SET LEVEL LED (39) allows the input signal strength to be optimized for best performance.
The processed stereo signals coming out of the EMAC are added to any signals coming in from an external processor connected to the AUX 2 RETURN (10) jacks. The combined signals then pass through the MUTE (40) and AUX 2/EFX RETURN (40) fader and then on to the main mix.
EMAC QUICK START
Assuming you have your basic mix up and running, turn up the AUX 2 /EFX (22) controls on each channel. This feeds individual amounts of channel signals to the EMAC.
Set the master AUX 2 /EFX SEND (38) control so the EMAC’s LEVEL SET LED (39) blinks occasionally.
Turn up the AUX 2/EFX (40) fader and you should be hearing the effects.
Next, goof around with the various Preset Selects (45) to listen to their effect. When you find an effect you like, jot it down, then goof around some more.
To bypass these effects, engage an optional foot switch connected to EFX FOOT SWITCH (13). To send these effects to the stage moni- tors, turn up the EFFECTS TO MONITOR (42) knob.
44. BYPASS LED
This LED will come on when the EMAC circuit is bypassed by use of an external footswitch. The bypass affects only the internal EMAC effects, not any external effects processor you may have connected to the AUX 2 RETURN (10) jacks.
