Controls and Functions
Main Section
The XML series mixers have two internal power ampliers, depending on the power amp MODE selection switch, the
ampliers are sent the MAIN or MONITOR bus signal.

19. MAIN Output Level Meters - The output level
meter allows you to monitor the level of the signal
being sent to the MAIN power amplier and to the
MAIN OUT jacks. To avoid distortion, adjust the
MASTER LEVEL controls so that the 0 indicator LED
lights occasionally.
20. MONITOR Output Level Meter - The MONITOR
output level meter allows you to monitor the level of the signal which is being
sent to the MONITOR send jack and MONITOR power amplier.
21. AMP 1/2 LIMITER - The LIMITER indicators light when the channel’s signal for
the corresponding amplier hits its maximum value, and the limiter comes
on. This will ensure the cleanest possible output, and will protect your speaker
system if it accidentally receives a clipped signal from your mixer.
NOTE: If the LIMITER indicators are lighting frequently, there could be a risk of
damage to your equipment. Turn the MASTER control counterclockwise until
the indicator does not light during normal use.
22. PHANTOM Power Switch - The XML mixers feature onboard, 48-Volt Phantom
power supply to operate condenser microphones. When the switch is en-
gaged, the LED will illuminate indicating that phantom power is now available
on the microphone pre-amps.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid a loud pop, be sure to turn down the MASTER level
controls before plugging and unplugging the mic cables when the phantom
power is active.
23. EFX TO MAIN - The EFX TO MAIN control is used to adjust the level of the
sound being sent back from the built-in digital eect to the MAIN mix bus.
This allows you to hear the DSP eects in your MAIN speakers.

24. Graphic Equalizer - The 7-band
Graphic Equalizer allows you to
contour the frequency response of
the MAIN/MONO mix bus signal,
providing a maximum of 12dB of
cut/boost for each frequency band.
This is an especially useful tool
for cutting frequencies that cause
annoying feedback. The frequency
response is at when the sliders
are in the center position. Moving
a slider in the positive direction will
boost that frequency by as much as
12dB, and moving the slider in the negative direction will cut that frequency by up to 12dB. Once you set a response
curve using the Graphic Equalizer, the EQ curve is applied to both the MAIN/MONO bus signal that is output to the
speakers, and the line level signal which is output from the MAIN OUT jacks.
25. MASTER - The MASTER level control is the overall volume control for the MAIN bus. The MAIN level aects both the
MAIN bus signal, which is output to the speakers, and the line level signal which is output from the MAIN OUT jacks.
