Samson PL2404 Musical Instrument User Manual


 
PL 2404 Features
An independent electronically balanced Control Room output (with dedicated
level control) for connection to a power amplifier and studio monitors.
Four Bus faders enable easy control of bus output levels.
Input trims for the mic inputs of channels 1 and 3 are continuously adjustable
from +4 to -50 dB, making it possible to use the PL 2404 with a wide variety
of microphone types.
Four auxiliary sends and four stereo auxiliary returns (which can be routed to
any of the four buses). All aux sends are post-fader and post-equalizer.
Independent 3-band equalization for each channel, with 15 dB of cut or boost
for low (80 Hz), mid (1 kHz) and high (10 kHz) frequencies.
Balance controls for each channel that allow you to blend the relative levels
of stereo inputs.
Center detents for all Balance and EQ controls, making it easy to use the
PL 2404 even in low-light situations such as live performance.
Selectable Pre Fade Listen (PFL) or After Fade Listen (AFL) soloing for each
channel. PFL allows headphone monitoring of individual channels, pre-fader
(but post-EQ), while AFL enables headphone monitoring of individual
channels, post-fader and post-EQ, with the channel in its proper stereo
position. Both types of solo function are non-mix-destructive in that they do
not affect the signal being output either by the Main, Bus, or Control Room
outputs.
A flexible front panel metering system includes a ten-segment level meter
and allows you to view at a glance the levels of the main Left/Right output,
as well as power and PFL or AFL status.
An independent front-panel headphone output with dedicated volume
control and Main/Solo switch for selective monitoring of either the Main
output or of channels that are soloed.
Channel inserts are provided for channels 1 - 4, enabling you to use
outboard signal processors such as equalizers, compressor/ limiters, or
noise gates in a standard “effect loop.”
Bus inserts allow external signals to be submixed into any or all of the four
buses and also enables linking of multiple mixers.
The PL 2404 can be mounted in any standard 19" rack (taking four rack
spaces), making it easy to integrate into any existing system.
Last but certainly not least, affordability. The PL 2404 has been designed
from the ground up to provide versatility and excellent sound quality at a
cost-conscious price.
