Samson XM610 Music Mixer User Manual


 
MONITOR SECTION
The XM610 has two internal power amplifiers and
depending on the MODE selection switch, the ampli-
fiers received their input signals from the MAIN or
MONITOR bus. The following section describes the
MONITOR bus operation, which allows you to adjust
the overall tone and volume, and specify the mix level
of the built-in effects.

Graphic Equalizer
The XM610’s 7-band Graphic Equalizer allows
you to contour the frequency response of the
MONITOR 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 flat 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
frequency response curve using the Graphic
Equalizer, the EQ curve is applied to both the
MONITOR bus signal that is sent to the monitor
speakers, and the line level signal which is sent
from the MONITOR OUT jack.
EFX RETURN - Effects Return Control
The EFX RETURN control is used to adjust the level of the effect sound being sent back from the built-in
digital effect to the MONITOR bus. This allows you to hear the DSP effects in your monitor speakers.
MASTER - Volume Control
The MASTER level control is the overall control for the MONITOR bus. The MONITOR level affects both
the MONITOR bus signal which is sent to the monitor speakers and the line level signal which is sent from
the MONITOR OUT jack.
Output Level Meter
The OUTPUT LEVEL METER allows you to monitor the level of the signal which is being sent to the MONI-
TOR OUT jack and MONITOR POWER AMPLIFIER.
NOTE: To avoid distortion, adjust the VOLUME level control so that the 0 indicator LED lights occasionally.
