When only the odd-numbered left input is connected, the Balance knob functions as a constant level Pan control, allowing you to continuously place the incoming signal anywhere in the left-right stereo field.

If you have a microphone connected to channel 1 or channel 3, the procedure for setting optimum microphone levels is as follows sing or speak into the mic at the level you expect to use in performance while slowly raising the Level control for that channel to its 2 o’clock “0” position. Again, slowly raise the power ampli- fier volume until you reach the level you want to hear. Then raise the rear panel Trim control for that channel to a point at which you get a strong, clear signal that doesn’t distort even at the highest singing or speaking levels. For best signal-to- noise ratio, always keep the Trim control as high as possible short of distortion Setting the Correct Gain StructureGrounding Techniques Grounding Techniques If you’re using the PL 2404 in a fixed location such as a recording studio, you may want to invest the time and money into creating a star ground network. This is by far the best technique for avoiding grounding problems. It involves using a formidable ground source such as a cold water pipe or a copper spike driven into the earth. A thick grounding cable is connected to that source and then brought to a central distribution point from there, individual cables are connected to each piece of equipment. This setup also requires that you lift the ground plug of all three-prong AC connectors, so there is the possibility of danger if it is done incor- rectly. We strongly recommend that you contract with a qualified professional to carry out this or any kind of electrical workBusing, Submixing and Channel Muting L R BALANCE Using the Balance ControlHIGH 15 +15 MID 15 +15 LOW 15 +15 Using EqualizationUsing Aux Sends and Returns INSERT Using Channel InsertsMAIN Using PFL/AFLSOLO Application 1 - Using The PL 2404 As A Recording Mixer ApplicationsSAMSON Application 2 - Using The PL 2404 As A Main Live MixerApplications SAMSON Application 3 - Using The PL 2404 As A Keyboard SubmixerApplications SECONDARY MIXER ApplicationsSECONDARY MIXER MASTER MIXERAUX 3L Appendix A Block DiagramDimensions SpecificationsWeight 3.
