EFFECTS

The following section describes the two effects capabilities of the 3D Mix Pro. It is divided into two sub- sections for clarity and ease of explanation. Those sections are labeled EFFECTS LOOP CONTROLS and

SRS SPATIAL EXPANDER.

EFFECTS LOOP CONTROLS

37. Engage

Pushing this switch in (down) activates the Effects Loop (10) so that the main signal runs through any external effects units connected to it. It is possible to listen to the effects in the cue by pressing the Loop Cue button (38). The Engage LED will illuminate to indicate the Effects Loop is active.

38. Loop Cue

Pushing this button in (down) places the effects signal from the loop on the cue bus. This allows you to listen to what your effects are doing within the headphones or booth. The Cue LED will illuminate to indicate that the Loop Cue is active.

SPATIAL EXPANDER

The 3D Mix Pro gets its name from the three-dimensional qualities of its built-in SRS effect. The SRS Spatial Expander creates a three-dimensional sound image from any audio source with only two conventional stereo speakers. This effect renders greater stereo separation and disperses sound more evenly throughout a room. Therefore, it produces a better stereo image around a larger area, making speaker placement and listener location less critical. You will find that it broadens your listening area and actually restores live performance ambience to your program material.

39. SRS Enable

This button activates the SRS effect when pushed in (down). The SRS enable LED will illuminate to indicate the SRS Spatial Expander is active.

40. SRS Space

The SRS Space control is used to broaden the stereo separation between the Left and Right outputs. Adjusting this control fully clockwise will result in maximum stereo imaging/separation.

41. SRS Collapse

Pressing this button will momentarily defeat the Space function of the SRS effect. It is called ÒCollapseÓ due to its effect on the stereo separation. It collapses the stereo fields from a widened spatial condition to a mono condition. The SRS Collapse switch is another great effect that can be used to create a beat or feeling in real time. By pressing and releasing this button with the beat, a swell/collapse condition occurs that is certain to become a highlight of your show.
