USING YOUR SPIRIT Monitor CONSOLE
| Your choice of a SPIRIT Monitor console has provided you | |
| with a professional product capable of top quality sound mix- | |
| ing. | Good results will however only come through |
| experience and time spent understanding the facilities on | |
| your console. Rehearsal sessions and live performances must | |
| focus on the skill and creativity of the artists, which must not | |
| be hindered by unfamiliarity and difficulty with the operation | |
| of the console. It is important to recognise, and learn by ex- | |
| periment, the importance of correct choice of inputs, | |
| microphone placement and control settings, particularly with | |
| respect to feedback avoidance. | |
| Suitable initial control positions are shown on the front panel | |
| drawing inside the rear cover. | |

Initial Set Up | The diagram on page 7 demonstrated how the matching of in- | |
| put gain to the signal source was crucial to avoid distortion at | |
one extreme and excessive noise at the other. Set up individ- ual input channel as follows:
∙ Connect the input required (microphone, keyboard etc.) Note: Phantom powered mics should be connected before the +48V is switched on.
∙ Set Output faders at 0, input faders at 0, channel monitor sends fully anticlockwise (off) and set power amplifier lev- els to about 70%.
∙ With a typical performance level signal present, press the PFL button on the particular channel, monitoring the level on the Wedge(PFL) meter.
