Peavey RQ 4300 Series Super Channels, Stereo Channels, CHANNELS 23-24 RQ, AND 31-32 RQ, 17 PAD

LED in the MONO MASTER section (45) will blink to indicate that the signal on the MONO LED display and at the headphone out is PFL. Selecting PFL allows the operator to monitor a channel even with the channel muted, and is especially useful for cueing CDs/tapes. When the PFL button is in the out position, the yellow channel LED will blink as an indication of signal presence (-20 dBu).

(16)CHANNEL FADER

This control varies the signal level sent from the channel to the L/R, SUB, and/or MONO master channels from (– ∞) to +10 dB. The 0 position is unity gain, meaning no increase or decrease in the level set by the GAIN control (4), and is the optimum setting for this control. If the level is too quiet or too loud at unity gain on the FADER, the channel GAIN (4) may need to be adjusted.

SUPER CHANNELS

[CHANNELS 21–22 (RQ 4324) AND 29–30 (RQ 4332)]

Input connections and channel strip controls on SUPER CHANNELS are the same as STANDARD CHANNELS with the exception of INSERT jacks. In place of INSERT connections, SUPER CHANNELS are equipped with:

(17)PAD

This switch attenuates (reduces) the input signal by 20 dB. This allows accommodation of higher input levels without clipping and is especially useful when close-miking high sound pressure level (SPL) sources such as drums or guitar cabinets. It is also beneficial for “hot” line sources such as keyboards and some wireless microphones.

(18) POLARITY		24s	23s
This switch reverses the polarity of both the XLR and LINE input
connectors to compensate for an out-of-phase signal that would		LEFT	LEFT
otherwise cause frequency (phase) cancellations in the mix.
STEREO CHANNELS	19
[CHANNELS 23–24 (RQ 4324)		RIGHT	RIGHT
AND 31–32 (RQ 4332)]
STEREO CHANNELS offer the same channel strip controls as STANDARD		MIC (BAL)	MIC (BAL)
CHANNELS with the exception of the MID FREQ control (8). Center
bandpass frequency is set at 850 Hz. In place of the MID FREQ control,
STEREO CHANNELS offer independent gain controls for LINE and MIC
(XLR).
(19) STEREO 1/4" LINE INPUTS		LEFT	LEFT
These TS jacks are unbalanced line-level inputs for stereo (L/R)		INPUT	INPUT
signals. They are connected in parallel with the STEREO RCA 20
LINE INPUTS (20). If you have a MONO line source, use a Y		RIGHT	RIGHT
cable or one of the channels with a MONO line input.		INPUT	INPUT
