MAIN MIX and PHONES/ MONITOR Section

60. MAIN MIX Faders

These are the master faders that control the levels at the MAIN OUTS.

When MAIN MIX TO MON/PHONES [62] is selected in the PHONES/MONITOR Section, the MAIN MIX fader also controls the main mix level in the PHONES and MONITOR outputs [65/81].

When the faders are fully down, the MAIN MIX is off. The “U” marking indicates unity gain, and fully up provides 10 dB of additional gain. Typically, these faders are set near the “U” label and left alone, but they can be used for song fade-outs or quick system-wide mutes.

61. SOLO LEVEL

The SOLO LEVEL control is used to adjust the volume of the solo’ed signal as it is routed to the MONITOR and PHONES outputs. This control is independent of, and prior to, the MONITOR and PHONES level controls.

This controls the solo signal level for both PFL and AFL solo modes.

62. MAIN TO MON/PHONES Switch

63. MONITOR Level Control

This controls the signal level at both the Left and Right MONITOR OUTS [81].

64. PHONES Level Control

This controls the signal level at the stereo headphone output [65].

65. Headphone Jack

This is where you plug in your stereo headphones. It is a 1/4" TRS stereo jack and provides the same signal that is routed to the MONITOR outputs [81]. The volume is controlled with the PHONES knob [64].

WARNING: The headphone amp

is designed to drive any standard

headphones to a very loud level. We’re not kidding! It can cause permanent hearing damage. Even intermediate

levels may be painfully loud with some headphones. BE CAREFUL! Always start with the PHONES level turned all the way down before connecting headphones to the PHONES jack. Keep it down until you’ve put on the headphones. Then turn it up slowly. Why? Always remember: “Engineers who fry their ears, find themselves with short careers.”

This switch routes the stereo L/R Main Mix signal (post-fader) to both the Monitor and Phones outputs when there are no solo switches en- gaged. The L/R Main Mix signal is overridden in the Monitor and Phones outputs by any PFL or AFL solo.

Note: If a PFL solo switch is engaged, it overrides the AFL solo mode, including MAIN TO MON/PHONES.

These 4-pin connectors provide +12 volts DC for gooseneck lamps. The Onyx 2480 has two lamp connec- tors, while the Onyx 3280, 4080, and 4880 all have three lamp connectors. See your Mackie dealer for gooseneck lamp recommendations (12 V lamps with 4-pin XLR-type connectors).
