Graphic equalizer section
This section enables you to adjust the tone of the
STEREO bus signal.
VGraphic equalizer
This is a 9-band graphic equalizer that allows you
to adjust the frequency response of the STEREO
bus signal, providing a maximum of ±12 dB of
cut/boost for each frequency band.
This graphic equalizer affects both the STEREO
bus signal that is output to the speakers and the
line level signal that is output from the ST OUT
jacks (input/output panel 0), and MONO OUT
jack (input/output panel C).
WON switch
This switch turns the graphic equalizer on/off.
Power amp section
This section allows you to select the signals that
will be sent to the built-in two-channel power
amplifier.
XLIMITER indicator
This indicator lights up when the level of the sig-
nal output from the power amp section reaches
the maximum and the limiter is activated. Adjust
the ST OUT K and appropriate fader so that the
indicator lights up for only a short while when
the signal reaches the maximum level.
YPower amp select switch
Select one of the following three settings to spec-
ify the signals to be routed to the corresponding
jacks according to the speaker connection at the
SPEAKERS jacks 3 on the rear panel.
ST L-R
The STEREO bus signals are output from the
SPEAKERS A 1/2 jacks and the SPEAKERS B 1/2
jacks. The final level of these signals is adjusted by
the master ST OUT fader.
AUX 1-MONO
The AUX 1 bus signals are output from the
SPEAKERS A 1/2 jacks, and a monaural signal
that is a mix of the STEREO bus signals is output
from the SPEAKERS B 1/2 jacks. The final level of
these signals is adjusted by the master AUX 1
fader and the MONO OUT fader.
AUX 1-AUX 2
The AUX 1, 2 buses signals are output from the
SPEAKERS A 1/2 jacks and the SPEAKERS B 1/2
jacks.
MONO BRIDGE
The monaural signal that is a mix of the STEREO
bus is output from the SPEAKERS A 1 jack. The
final level of this signal is adjusted by the master
MONO OUT fader.
Set the switch to this position when you connect
only one speaker to play a loud sound.
ZMaximum output select switch
This switch lets you change the maximum output
level of the two internal power amps between
three levels.
Set this as appropriate for the size of the room or
the input capacity of the speakers.
• 500W + 500W
The two internal amps will produce a maximum
of 500W + 500W/4.
• 300W + 300W
The two internal amps will produce a maximum
of 300W + 300W/4.
• 100W + 100W
The two internal amps will produce a maximum
of 100W + 100W/4.
Note: The indicator lights up or flashes for a
longer duration if the power amp section is sig-
nificantly overloaded, which could result in
malfunction. Avoid such a situation.
