12. POWER AMP MODE SWITCH

This two-position switch lets you choose which signal paths from the mixer section are sent to the internal power amplifi ers. It only affects the speaker-level outputs (3).

Stereo Mains

In the upper switch position, the output from channel A is the left side of the main mix, and the output from channel B is the right side of the main mix. Choose this position to play a stereo show.

Mains/Monitor

In the lower switch position, channel A is the main mix (in mono), and channel B is the monitor mix. In this setup, you could run a mono PA system on channel A, and a passive stage monitor system on channel B.

13. POWER AMP INPUTS

These 1/4" TS unbalanced inputs allow you to connect line-level signals directly to the input of the internal power amplifi ers.

The internal amplifi ers will then only play the audio that enters here from the outside

world. The master level (28), graphic EQ (25), and amp mode switch [12] will have no effect, and the meters (26) will not show the levels. Only the series 69 EQ switch [33] will affect the output. Plugging anything into these inputs does not affect the line-level outputs.

You could patch a device between the main outputs [11] and these inputs, in which case, the controls and meters will work, except for the amp mode switch.

These inputs are also useful when you need more channels than the powered mixer provides. You could connect the line- level outputs from an external mixer, and use this external mixer to control the mix and levels playing in loudspeakers attached to the powered mixer. You could also connect the main line-level outputs (11) to the external mixer to merge the powered mixer’s channels and the external mixer’s, for even more channels.

The external mixer or device will

control the volume, so turn it down at fi rst, or the powered mixer may come on at full volume.
