PRE-MAST SLATE

ON

Inserts slate tone and slate microphone into circuit before the Master gain control (pre–

 

 

 

 

 

master). Slate level is controlled by Master.

 

 

 

OFF

Removes slate tone/slate microphone from pre-master cIrcuit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

7

POST-MAST SLATE

ON

Inserts slate tone and slate microphone into FP33 circuit after the Master gain control

 

 

 

 

 

(post-master). Slate level not is controlled by Master.

 

 

 

OFF

Removes slate tone and slate microphone from FP33 post-master circuit.

SLATE TONE

ON

Slate tone (400 Hz) sounds for one second when front panel slate button is pushed. Slate

 

 

 

 

 

microphone also activates.

 

 

 

OFF

Slate tone does not sound when slate button is pushed. Slate microphone does activate.

METER LAMP

TOGGLED

Lamp turns on/off when front panel lamp switch is toggled. Automatic timed turnoff of lamp

 

 

 

 

 

will not occur.

 

 

 

TIMED

Lamp turns on/off when front panel lamp switch is activated. If not manually switched off,

 

 

 

 

lamp will automatically turn off after 10 seconds to conserve battery life.

PRESENCE LEDs

ON

Input LEDs illuminate green to indicate signal presence and relative level.

 

 

 

 

OFF

Input LEDs do not illuminate green. Input LEDs will still illuminate red to indicate 6 dB be-

 

 

 

 

fore clipping.

 

 

 

 

 

 

11

12 V OR 48 V PHANTOM

12V

Provides 12 Vdc phantom power if selected for channel input.

 

 

 

 

48V

Provides 48 Vdc phantom power if selected for channel input.

MS MATRIX FOR

ON

Inserts MS decoding matrix into headphone circuit. User can monitor in stereo while allow-

 

 

 

HEADPHONES

 

ing separate Mic and Side signals to pass through the FP33.

 

 

 

OFF

Removes MS decoding matrix from headphone circuit.

 

 

POWERING THE FP33 MIXER

The FP33 can be powered by a 12–30 Vdc external power supply while preserving the life of the internal batteries.

BATTERY LIFE

The FP33 is designed for low current consumption. Under typical conditions (+4 dBm into 600 : in continuous use and no phantom–powered microphones, meter illu- mination, or headphones in use), and with two fresh 9 volt alkaline batteries , the FP33 will operate for about eight hours before the Power LED flashes. At this point, about 30 minutes of battery life remain. If more mixer features are used, battery life will decrease accordingly (see table).
