STEREO AUX RETURN Input
The L Series feature two additional STEREO AUX RETURN
inputs that can be used to return the outputs of the an
external effects processor, or to connect the output of
any stereo line level device. The STEREO AUX RETURN can
be routed to the MAIN mix, or to a pair of AUX outputs,
allowing you to send the signal to a monitor mix.
35 - AUX 1/AUX 3 - control knob
Each of the L Series STEREO AUX RETURN include an AUX
1 / AUX 3 control knob, which controls the amount of that
AUX RETURN’S signal that is sent to the AUX output. Use
the SHIFT switch (38) to select between AUX 1 and AUX 3.
The signal feeding AUX 1 / AUX 3 is sent before, or pre, the
channel Level control, so the channel Level has no effect
on the AUX 1 and AUX 3 level.
36 - AUX 2/AUX 4 - control knob
Each of the L Series STEREO AUX RETURN include an AUX
2 / AUX 4 control knob, which controls the amount of
that channel’s signal that is sent to the AUX output. Use
the SHIFT switch (38) to select between AUX 2 and AUX 4.
The signal feeding AUX 2/AUX 4 is sent before, or pre, the
channel Level control, so the channel Level has no effect
on the AUX 2 and AUX 4 level.
37 - MAIN – control knob
The L Series’ STEREO AUX RETURN MAIN control knob
is used to adjust the overall level of the STEREO AUX
RETURN to the MAIN left and right bus.
38 SHIFT - switch
You can use the SHIFT switch to select which pair of AUX
buses the STEREO AUX RETURN will feed. When the SHIFT
switch is in the up position, the STEREO AUX
RETURN feeds AUX1 / AUX2. When the SHIFT switch is in
the down position, the STEREO AUX RETURN feeds AUX3
/ AUX4.
39 - PFL switch
The STEREO AUX RETURN’s PFL, or Pre Fader Listen switch,
allows you to listen to, or “solo”, the STEREO AUX RETURN
in the headphones. When the stereo input channel’s PFL
switch is pressed down, the STEREO AUX RETURN 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 channel
Level control. This allows you to listen to a channel by
itself: (let's say), to check the reverb decay time, or to cue
up an echo without having to play it through the main PA
speakers.
40 -CD/TAPE – control
The L2400 and L3200 have a dedicated line level CD/TAPE
LEVEL input to connect a CD, Tape or MP3 player. The
CD/TAPE Level control is used to adjust the volume of the
signal connected to the CD/TAPE input.
41 - PFL switch
The CD/TAPE input channel’s PFL, or Pre Fader Listen
switch allows you to listen to, or “solo”, the CD/TAPE input
in the headphones. When the CD/TAPE input channel’s
PFL switch is pressed down, that channel’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. Since the signal is sent pre fader, you can
hear the signal regardless of the position of the channel
Level control. This allows you to listen to a channel by
itself: (let's say), to cue up a song on a CD player without
having to play it through the main PA speakers.
