Controls and Functions
24BIT DIGITAL EFFECT SECTION - continued
24 – TO AUX 4- Effects Return Control
The TO AUX 4 control is used to adjust the level of the
effects from the built-in digital Multi-effect that’s being
sent to the AUX 4 monitor bus. This allows you to add the
DSP effects to the signal in your monitor speakers. Turn
this knob up if you want to hear the effect in the AUX 4
monitor mix.
25 – EFX ON switch
The EFX ON switch is used to turn the internal Digital
Effect on and off. The effects are by-passed when the
switch is in the out position and the Effects Display shows
two dashes.
26– PEAK - LED
The L2400 and L3200’s DSP section also includes a
PEAK LED which when illuminated, indicates that
the signal is peaking or overloading. To reduce
distortion, lower the EFX controls to keep this LED
from staying on.
27 - PFL EFX RTN 1 (Pre Fader Listen) - switch
The EFX RTN 1’s PFL, or Pre Fader Listen switch allows you
to listen, or “solo” the EFX 1 Return or group of channels
in the headphones. When a stereo input channel’s PFL
switch is pressed down, the EFX RTN 1 signal is assigned
to the solo bus and can be heard in headphones plugged
in to the PHONES connector located in the front panel
jack field. Since the signal is sent pre fader, you can hear
the signal regardless of the position of the EXF RTN 1
volume Fader. This allows you to listen a EFX RTN 1 by
itself: (let's say) to see if a reverb is long enough, or to cue
up an echo without having to play it through the main PA.
28 - 1-2 RTN1 Group Assign switch
The 1-2 Group assign switch is used to assign the
DSP RTN1 to the 1-2 Group output bus.
29 – 3-4 RTN 1 Group Assign switch
The 3-4 assign switch is used to assign the DSP RTN
1 to the 3-4 Group output bus.
30 –MAIN Assign switch
The MAIN assign switch is used to assign the DSP
RTN 1to the left and right stereo bus outputs.
31- RTN1 - Fader Level Control
The RTN1 Fader control adjusts the level of the DSP 1
effects in the MAIN left and right mix.
33 - AUX 1 - 8 Master Send Fader
Each of the L Series AUX 1-8 buses has a master con-
trol knob, which is used to adjust the overall level
of that AUX bus output. The Aux 1-8 signals from
mono and stereo input channels, along with the DSP
returns are mixed together and sent to the AUX 1-8
Output respectively. Use the AUX 1-8 level controls
to set the amount of signal being sent to Aux 1-8
Output.
34 - AUX 1 - 8 AFL switch
The AUX 1-8 master send output’s AFL, or After Fader
Listen switch allows you to listen, or “solo” an AUX
send in the headphones. When any the AUX 1-8 AFL
switch is pressed down, that Aux’s signal is assigned
to the solo bus and can be heard in headphones
plugged in to the PHONES connector located in the
front panel jack field. This allows you to listen to an
AUX send by itself, let’s say, to check that a signal is
not distorted before it gets to the power amplifier.
Since the signal is sent after the Aux 1 level fader,
you hear the signal with the added gain from the
AUX 1 Level control.
