Control Section
. MAIN LEVEL
This knob adjusts the
main output level at the
main out XLRs [9] (and
to the RCA main outs
[11] when the live/re-
cord switch [12] is out).
(Remember, when the live
record switch is pushed in,
the RCA main outs are not
affected by the main level
control.)
. BOOTH LEVEL
This knob adjusts the
output level at the booth
outputs [8].
. STEREO/MONO
With this switch up, the booth outputs [8] provide a
stereo left and right output of the main mix. Push the
switch in to combine the left and right signals to mono if
you only have one booth monitor speaker.
5. FX SEND LEVEL
This knob controls the amount of signal being sent
to FX send outputs [6]. Adjust this knob to provide an
appropriate input signal level to your external effects
processor (or whatever you have connected to the FX
sends). It ranges from off to +13 dB at maximum.
Note: The FX sends are affected by the transform
switches [41], so if you mute a pgm channel with the
transform switch, the FX send for that pgm channel is
muted as well.
. FX RETURN LEVEL
This adjusts the signal level coming from your exter-
nal effects processor via the FX return jacks [7]. Use
it to adjust the processed signal going to the main mix
bus. It ranges from off to +13 dB at maximum.
7. FIREWIRE FX RETURN
Press this in if the FX return comes from your com-
puter via FireWire. For example, a processed (wet)
audio signal to add to the main mix.

Leave it pressed out if the wet return signals come
into the FX return jacks [7] from an external processor.
8. PHONES LEVEL
This controls the volume of the phones output from
off to maximum gain.
Turn it to off before connecting and putting
on headphones. Increase it slowly to a safe
listening level. See headphone jack [50] on
page 17.
9. PGM/MAIN
Use this switch to select the source for the head-
phones signal. When the switch is up (pgm position),
the signal is tapped just after the bal control [31] on
the pgm channels. You can use the pgm source cross-
fader [40] to fade between pgm 1 and pgm 2.
When the switch is down (main position), the signal
is tapped from the main mix bus, just before the main
level control [32].
0. PGM SOURCE
When the pgm/main switch [39] is up (in the pgm
position), you can use this crossfader to listen to pgm 1
and pgm 2 in the headphones. When the crossfader is all
the way to the left, pgm 1 is heard in the headphones.
When the crossfader is all the way to the right, pgm 2
is heard in the headphones. When the knob is in the
center, the headphones get an even mix of pgm 1 and 2.
Note: When the pgm/main switch is down (main posi-
tion), this control has no effect on the phones output.
