3. Play the desired sound source or talk into the microphone.
4. While doing so turn the frequency rotary control (kHz) slowly from left to right.
5. Surely and within no time, you will detect the frequency range that is not to your liking or caus-
ing the feedback.
6. Leave the frequency control in this position and turn the MID control to the left until the sound
is natural or to your liking.
8 - FX 1/2
The FX controls allow adjusting individual amounts of the input signals to be routed to the integrated
FX 1 or the FX 2 effects units. The signal path is split post volume fader – post fader – so that the fader
setting also influences the amount of the signal that is fed to the FX units. Using the FX controls lets
you easily assign an effect for groups of musical instruments or vocals. For example, you can assign a
short reverb effect of the FX 1 unit to the lead vocals and a combined effects program – echo, hall,
and chorus – via FX 2 to the background vocals. To determine the desired intensity of each effect, you
should start with the controls set at their center and make individual adjustments from there on.
Please monitor the PK LEDs in the FX 1/2 channels. The indicator should only light briefly at the oc-
currence of high program peaks. If the indicator is constantly lit, you should lower the send levels of
those channels where the program peaks occur. For further information, please read the paragraphs
about the FX 1/2 units. In case you are not using the internal FX units and/or you want to connect ex-
ternal signal processing units, the pre-mixed FX 1/2 signals are outputted via the FX 1/2 SENDS jacks.
9 - AUX 1/2
AUX 1 and AUX 2 controls are primarily meant for establishing two independent monitor mixes. Using
the master section’s AUX PRE/POST switches allows determining whether the signals are split pre or
post fader.
PRE-FADER
The audio signal that is present at the AUX control is tapped pre volume fader and therefore not af-
fected by the fader’s setting. This mode is mainly used for monitoring. Pre-Fader Monitoring is espe-
cially preferable when monitoring and master mix need to be completely different from each other,
e.g. when the volume setting of particular musical instruments or vocals needs to be higher or lower
than in the master mix. In most cases the mixing console is placed somewhere in the audience area
(FOH) and is being operated by an sound technician.
POST-FADER
The audio signal that is present at the AUX control is tapped post volume fader and therefore affected
by the fader’s setting. This mode is mainly used for establishing FX- or special monitoring mixes. Using
the POST-Fader method is recommended when the mixer is also located on the stage and you have to
operate it yourself. Setting all AUX 1 or AUX 2 controls to their center position, the master mix is also
present on the monitor bus, giving you the opportunity to control the volume settings of each channel
individually from the stage. The overall volume of the monitor mix is set using the AUX 1/2 faders in
the master section. If you are using this option you should keep in mind that all volume changes made
with the channel faders also apply to the monitor mix, leaving you with a higher risk of acoustic feed-
back. The Post-Fader Monitoring method provides the possibility of canceling channels of some instru-
ments – like kick or snare drum, which are in fact already very loud on-stage – from the monitor mix
by turning the corresponding controls all the way to the left.
10 - MON 1/2
MON 1 and MON 2 controls are primarily meant for establishing two independent monitor mixes. The
signal routing is always PRE FADER.
11 - PAN
This control determines the position of the connected sound source within the stereo image. When
this control is set at its center position, the audio signal is fed with equal levels to the L and R master
busses. The PAN control section is designed to maintain the essential sound pressure level, no matter
at what position within the stereo image the PAN control is set to.
12 - MUTE
The MUTE button mutes the input signal post fader, including all FX/AUX/MON sends. PFL and Signal/
Peak stay functional.
