25.OFF-LEVEL THRESHOLD: The solo and the choir groups have adjustable threshold downward expanders that reduce noise by lowering the signal when the level drops beneath a set point. This not only cleans up background noise, but also reduces feedback problems by attenuating mics assigned to this group when there is no activity. An LED indicates that the group is being attenuated. To disable noise reduction, set the control to minimum (off).

26.COMPRESSION THRESHOLD: In addition to noise reduction, soft-knee compression is available for both the solo and the choir groups. The threshold is adjustable to set the amount of compression desired. An LED

illuminates to indicate the group is being attenuated. The control should be set so that the light only illuminates at peaks and is not consistently on. To

disable compression, set the control to maximum

27.GROUP MUTE: The Solo and Choir/Inst Group mute controls disable the signal from these input groups going to the main Left/Right outputs. You may also want to mute the Effects at the same

time. The Mute LED lights when the group is muted.

28. VOCAL ENHANCE: The circuitry of the vocal

 

 

enhance has been designed to improve clarity and

 

 

definition. The frequencies have been chosen to

 

 

work well with speech and singing. The amount is

 

 

determined by a concealed preset switch (MIN up,

 

 

MAX down).

 

 

29. MONITOR CLIP/MUTE: Mutes the monitor

 

 

output. The indicator will light when it is muted.

 

 

The light also cautions that the monitor signal is

 

 

within 2 dB of clipping, and channel send levels or

 

 

the master monitor fader level should be reduced.

 

 

30. MONITOR MASTER FADER: Sets the overall

 

 

level of the signal that is sent to the monitor output

 

 

jacks. The headphone/meter select switch can be

used to check the output level with the meter

array.

31.MAIN LEFT AND RIGHT FADERS: These are the master left and right faders. If the main outputs are set to dual mono, both have the same signal (sum of left and right) and can be used as zone outputs for house and annex levels etc. These controls are best operated at the 0 (full up) position. It is most important that
