8. EFX Footswitch/Send Jack

This jack may be used to connect a standard on/off footswitch for the internal Digital Effects Processor or alternately, as an effects send jack. In this latter function, it would send the signal so that you could connect an external effects unit. If it is stereo, you would connect the unit's left and right outputs to the dual RCA inputs on channel 5 or 6

(please note that the channel inputs are not in stereo			MONITOR	RECORD
	LINE OUT		LINE OUT	OUT
and that the stereo effect would be summed into a
mono mix). Here you would need to keep the Gain
level of that channel fairly low and make sure that its				EFX
EFX control is turned off. If the effects unit uses 1/4-		MAINS
inch plugs, you could connect the output of the unit
to any one of the Balanced Line In jacks. As another
alternative, the EFX Footswitch/Send jack may be
used to deliver line-level signal to the input of an	LINE IN			FOOTSWITCH
				/ SEND

auxiliary amp/speaker system, or a tape deck. Here,

the channel EFX controls would act as secondary level controls. Also keep in mind the channel EFX send controls are post-Gain, so changes in the Gain settings will affect these levels as well.

9. Power LED & Switch

The Power LED lets you know that the MP6D is plugged in and turned on. The AC power on/ off switch is on the rear panel of the unit.

10. Phantom Power

The Phantom power LED indicates that 24 volts of DC phantom power is present on all the XLR microphone inputs to power condenser microphones. Regular dynamic mics may be con- nected while the Phantom Power is activated without encountering problems. The Phantom Power push-button is located on the rear panel.

1. Select and MODIFY EFX Controls

Use the EFX Selection control to choose from the sixteen 24-bit digital reverbs, delays and other effects. This control rotates continuously, which lets you rotate clockwise or counter-clock- wise to select the desired effect. For convenience, a table of the effects and their variables appear later in this manual and on the front panel of the MP6D.

Parameters for each of the effects can be changed using the MODIFY control which is located next to the Selection control. For example, if a Hall reverb has been selected, the MODIFY control will let you adjust the decay parameter. Choosing the Chorus effect allows the chorus rate to be adjusted.

Note: The signal sent from the internal Digital Effects Processor to the MON mix is independent from the MON send controls on the channel strips. When a channel’s EFX control routes a signal to the internal Effects processor and the MON level control (for that channel) is turned off, the channel’s wet effects will still be audiable in the monitor bus (if the EFX to MONitor return level is turned up).

2. Effects CLIP LED
Situated to the right of the MODIFY EFX control, the CLIP LED	24
indicates that the digital processor is receiving an input signal

that’s too strong, resulting in distortion. For optimum performance, the CLIP LED should never flash. If there is clipping activity, turn down the channel EFX controls appropriately.
