FRONT PANEL

Note: 1 through 5 below are referenced to Channel 1. The other channels are identical.

(1) GAIN CONTROL

The Gain Control determines the proportion of the channel signal in the mix.

(2) CONTOUR CONTROL

Adjusting this control will contour the audio, either bringing out more highs and definition or increasing low and mid frequencies to provide more punch.

(3) REVERB CONTROL

The Reverb Control adjusts the level of signal sent by each channel to the internal Reverb DSP (Digital Sound Processor). The signal sent is mono, post-Contour and will be affected by the channel Gain Control.

(4) LINE INPUT

The Line input is designed to accept balanced or unbalanced line- level signals such as those from keyboards, drum machines, or samplers. Use the GAIN control (1) to adjust for the desired level. If a balanced signal is to be connected to the line input, then a 1/4" TRS (stereo) phone plug should be wired for: Tip = positive (+), Ring = negative (-), Sleeve = ground.

(5) MIC INPUT

The Mic input is an electronically balanced XLR type designed to accept signals from any balanced low impedance (Low Z) microphone. It will be necessary to adjust the channel gain with the input GAIN control (1) to achieve a nominal operating level. The XLR jack is configured for: Pin1 = ground, Pin2 = positive (+), Pin3 = negative (-).

(Note: Only either the Mic or the Line input of a given channel can be connected at one time. Do not connect both simultaneously to the same channel.)

(6) MASTER — VOLUME CONTROL

This controls the final level of the signal output.

(7) MASTER — REVERB CONTROL

This controls the level of the reverb effects sound.

(8) MASTER — HIGH CONTROL

The control has a shelving response giving 15dB of boost or cut at 12KHz.

(9) MASTER — MID CONTROL

The control has a shelving response giving 15dB of boost or cut at 1.5KHz.

(10) MASTER — LOW CONTROL

The control has a shelving response giving 15dB of boost or cut at 100Hz.

(11) MASTER — DEPTH CONTROL

This controls the amount of feedback of the reverb reflection, i.e. the number of reflections and the length of time before they diminish in volume.

(12)POWER ON LED INDICATOR Indicates when the unit is ON.
