Peavey GTX owner manual Feature Overview

GTX CENTURY SERIES

Feature Overview

•Extensive Meter bridge provides signal level metering of

LEFT, RIGHT, CENTER/MONO, SOLO LEFT, SOLO RIGHT, and 8 SUBGROUPS. The LEFT, RIGHT, CEN- TER/MONO and SOLO meters are of a larger size and are centered on the meter bridge. For 64 and 52 positions frames sizes only, metering is also provided for the 8 AUX SENDS. All level meters are of the mechanical moving coil type, are referenced to +4 dBu, and are illuminated by long-life LED’s.

•Variable Hi-Pass filter on input channels allows for precise control over a signal’s unwanted low frequency content.

•Channel inserts are implemented using separate 1/4" TRS jacks for send and return. An insert switch with indicator LED allows A/B comparisons and signal processor bypass.

•Switchable Q on Hi Mid and Lo Mid EQ bands adds more flexibility to an EQ circuit that already offers four sweepable bands and selectable peak/shelving on the Hi and Lo bands.

•Dual concentric send controls for auxes 1&2, and 3&4, in addition to sends 5-8 allow each input to send onto any or all of the 8 aux buses, while occupying a minimal amount of mod- ule space.

•AUX pre/post switches. The first four aux sends can be selected to be pre or post by the Aux 1-4 pre/post switch. In addition, Aux pairs 5&6 and 7&8 each have designated pre/post switches. The Pre source is internally selectable to Pre-EQ or Pre-Fader.

•Discreet bus assignments and L-C-R (Left-Center-Right) panning. Input channels and Effects Returns incorporate an uncompromised bus assignment section. Features include true L-C-R panning, standard panning, clean mono bus, discrete bus assigns, and panable stereo bus assigns.

•Each input channel features a five-segment LED array, including a signal present LED, three signal level LEDs and a peak indicator.

•SSM/PMI high-quality preamplifiers on balanced micro- phone/line inputs for uncompromised audio quality and relia- bility. All IC’s within the audio path are socket mounted for easy upgrade or service.

•48 Volt switchable phantom power on all microphone inputs.

•Optional transformers available on all microphone inputs and on Group, Left/Right, Mono, Aux, and Matrix outputs.

•Mono/Stereo PFL (Pre-Fader-Listen) and AFL (After-Fader- Listen) system. When a stereo module is used, the signal is monitored in stereo while mono modules are monitored in mono. Selected outputs may be monitored in mono or as stereo pairs.

•Standard frame sizes include 44, 52, and 64 positions. The Master section occupies four positions and Groups occupy eight positions.

•Any frame size may be ordered short loaded for later expan- sion.

•Direct access to Group Mix buses allows expander mixers to be easily patched into the console.

•Full facility effects return section includes Gain Control to handle a wide range of input levels, High and Low frequency EQ, Aux Sends, expanded bus assignment section, and level, pan, PFL and Mute controls.

•Mute system on input channels is designed to mute both pre- and post-fader signals including those Aux sends used as mon- itors. When muted, PFL circuitry, Peak, Level, and Dynamic Signal Present LED indicators remain fully operational.

•Twin power supply capability with automatic changeover backup for uncompromised reliability. Second power supply optional.

•Optional Matrix modules available, useful for the creation of independent mixes using the main outputs and External Input as signal sources.

•Optional Stereo Input modules available, useful for remote feeds, effects inputs, and other mic or line level signals requir- ing stereo handling.

•Comprehensive Talkback section allows access to all primary console outputs. Additional access provided to an external location such as an on-stage monitor mixer system. External signals can also be assigned into the talkback system including Oscillator and Pink Noise source inputs.

•Left/Right summing switches to Aux 1-2 and Aux 3-4 allow for simple setups of mixes by allowing Left/Right signals to be blended with auxiliary mixes when used in recording applica- tions. In contracting applications, this feature allows these Aux outputs to act as additional distribution amplifiers for the Left/Right signals.
