Front Panel
(17) MONITOR EQ
This is the 7-band EQ with level meter.
(18) EFFECTS RETURN/MONITOR
This controls the level of effects applied to the monitors.
(19) MONITOR MIX LEVEL
This controls the monitor output level at the Monitor
Output Jack (29).
(20) MAIN EQ
These are used to adjust the overall EQ of the master mix.
Since these cover seven frequency bands (+/-12 dB), they
will add or diminish the level of the sound at the indicated
frequencies, spread across approximately one octave of
frequency range. Most situations should require using no
more than three controls simultaneously. Do not boost
or cut all five at the same time. Excessive boosting will
increase the probability of encountering feedback.
(21) EFFECTS RETURN/MAIN
This controls the level of effects applied to the mains.
(22) MAIN LEVEL
This controls the main output level.
(23) AUX 1
This is the AUX input to the main mix using the AUX Input Jack (24).
(24) AUX INPUT JACK
This is the AUX input to main mix with levels controlled by AUX 1 (23).
(25) TAPE INPUT
This controls the level of the playback inputs (RCA jacks).
(26) TAPE IN (L/R)
These RCA jacks are for connecting a cassette deck, CD player or other line-level source.
(27) TAPE OUT (L/R)
These RCA output jacks are primarily intended for connecting a tape deck, MP3 player, or other device for the
purpose of recording from the mixer. Both channels are summed into mono for compatibility. The signals are
taken pre-master section, meaning that they are without reverb or the master tone section, and do not include
the Tape-In signal. If you wish to record with the reverb and Tape In signals, use the 1/4" line output (2) with the
proper cable.
(28) MONITOR OUTPUT JACK
1/4" line-level output of monitor mix, controlled by Monitor EQ (17).
(29) MAIN OUTPUT JACK
1/4" line-level output of main mix, controlled by Mains EQ (20).
(30) POWER LED
Illuminates when power is supplied to the unit.
(31) LIMITER INDICATORS
Red LED illuminates when unit approaches peak limit.
(32) AMPLIFIER FUNCTION SWITCH
3-way switch:
Top position: MAIN/MONITOR: sends the main mix to mains via Speaker Outputs (1) on rear panel and the
monitor mix to monitors via Monitor Output (3) on rear panel
Mid position: MAIN/MAIN: sends the main mix to mains only via Speaker Outputs (1) and (3) on rear panel
Low position: BRIDGE/MAIN: sends the main mix to mains via Bridged Output (2) on rear panel
NOTE: In the BRIDGE/MAIN mode the monitors are disabled.
