DIGITAL PROCESSING ARENA

This feature is perfect for playing a pre-recorded musical piece through assigned channels of your mixer. USB drives also allow you to record specific segments of your work or an entire gig up to the amount of free memory available on your USB drive. After connecting a USB drive to the USB port (60), enter the USB menu. Follow on-screen instructions to select files available for playback or to name files for recording, again using soft knobs (45-46) to make all selections.

Firmware Updates

To install a firmware update, hold down the left Software Encoder (45) while powering up your mixer. Follow on-screen prompts to complete your process. Necessary files can be downloaded from the In- ternet and installed using your computer or an optional USB drive. If the installation is successful, your mixer will automatically restart. If unsuccessful, or to exit the update mode, press the power button to restart.

impedance inputs. The tip is the positive input

and should be used for unbalanced inputs. It has 20 dB less gain than the XLR input and does not have phantom power available. The Mic and Line inputs should not be used simultaneously.

50Mic (XLR) Inputs

XLR balanced inputs optimized for a microphone or other low impedance source. Pin 2 is the positive input. Because of the wide range of gain adjustment, signal levels up to +14 dBu can be accommodated.

51Stereo (1/4”) Inputs

These 1/4” unbalanced inputs work as a stereo line input using both jacks or as a mono input if the con- nection is made to the L/Mono input only.

52Group Inserts

These jacks are 1/4” TRS connectors that allow external signal processors to be inserted into the Group signal path. Tip=Send; Ring=Return; Sleeve=Ground. One of the on-board effects processors can be patched to any Group Insert.
