2. MAIN CONTROL SECTION

(13) PHANTOM POWER

When this switch is depressed, +48V of phantom power will be supplied to the XLR mic inputs to power condenser microphones. The phantom power LED will illuminate when the switch is depressed to ON.

[Note: When turning on the Phantom Power(13) turn the Main Level fader to minimum to avoid audible transient noise].

(14) DUAL CHANNEL LED METER

This dual 4-stage stereo output LED VU meter will display the relative output level of the Left and Right Main output or the 1/8” mini stereo input if the Tape/USB to Control Room(19) switch is enabled.

The top red Peak LED will light when the output signal is just below clipping. It is acceptable if the red LED lights occasionally. If the red LED lights more than occasionally, you should turn down the corresponding volume control to avoid audible distortion.

This switch enables the Main left and right signals to be sent to the 1⁄8” mini output, rear panel Record Outputs, and the USB output.

(16) AUX TO REC SWITCH

This switch enables the channel Aux Send signals to be sent to the 1⁄8” mini output, rear panel Record Outputs, and the USB output. Both the Main left and right signals and the Aux Send signals can be simultaneously sent to these outputs if both switches (15 & 16) are enabled.

(17) AUX RETURN LEVEL

This adjusts the level from the Aux Return(24) that is sent to the Main Mix.

(18) TAPE/USB TO MIX

Enabling this switch actually mixes a set of inputs onto the main bus. Depressing this pushbutton switch will send the rear panel Tape Inputs(31), USB Input(32), and Stereo Mini Input(25) signals to the Main mix which can then be adjusted by the Main Level(21) fader control.

(19) TAPE/USB TO CONTROL SWITCH

This switch will toggle between monitoring the Main mix and a set of other inputs. When the switch is disabled (button out), the Main mix signals are sent to the Control Room and Headphone outputs. Enabling the switch (button depressed) will send the rear panel Tape Inputs(31), USB Input(32), and Stereo Mini Input(25) signals exclusively to the Control Room and Headphone outputs. Either signals can then be adjusted by the Control Room Level(20) control. Also, when this switch is enabled, the Dual Channel LED Meter(14) will indicate the signal levels of the rear panel Tape Inputs, USB Input, and Stereo Mini Input signals and not the Main mix.

(20) CONTROL ROOM LEVEL

This adjusts the level of the Control Room and the Headphones outputs.

(21) MAIN LEVEL

This fader control adjusts the final level of the main stereo signal that is sent to Main Outputs(21).

(22) POWER LED

The LED will illuminate when the unit is switched on.
