INPUT CHANNEL SECTION
The following section details each part of the XM610’s INPUT CHANNELS
including the 3-BAND EQ, the MONITOR and EFX sends, LEVEL and PAD
controls.
HIGH MID LOW - Channel Equalizer
The XM610 input channels feature a 3-band equalizer allowing you to
adjust the high, mid, and low frequencies independently on each chan-
nel. The channel’s frequency response is flat when the knobs are in the
"12:00" position. Rotating the knob towards the right will boost the corre-
sponding frequency band by 12dB/15dB, and rotating it towards the left
will cut the frequency by 12dB/15dB. The frequency centers, range of
boost or cut, and equalizer type for each band are as follows:
High: 12KHz +/- 15dB shelving type
Mid: 2.5KHz +/- 12dB peaking type
Low: 80Hz +/- 15dB shelving type
AUX 1/MON - Monitor Send
Each of the XM610’s channels include a MONITOR send which controls
the amount of that channel’s signal that is sent to the MONITOR bus.
The Input channel’s MONITOR sends are mixed together and are sent to
the speakers connected to the POWER AMP 1 A/B jacks if the POWER
AMP select switch is set to MAIN+MONITOR.
AUX 2 / EFX Effects Send
The XM610 provides high quality, 24 Bit digital effects, and the level of
effects can be set independently on each channel. The channel’s EFX (Effects) knob controls the amount
of signal that is sent to the EFX bus. The signal of the EFX bus is routed to the DSP EFX section for on-
board signal processing. The EFX signal can also be sent to an external effect device connected to the
EFX OUT jacks located on the front panel.
NOTE: The channel’s EFX signal is sent to the EFX bus from a location in the signal path after
the VOL-
UME control (4). This is commonly referred as a POST FADER send. This means that the amount of sig-
nal that is sent to the EFFECT bus will be affected not only by the setting of the EFX knob control, but it
will also be affected by the setting of the VOLUME control.
VOLUME - Level Control
The VOLUME control adjusts the output volume of each channel.
PAD - Pad Switch
The PAD switch attenuates the input signal by 20dB. When connecting a hot signal such as a line level
device to channels 1-6, or if the mic input is distorted, turn this switch on (the pressed-in position) and
readjust the VOLUME control.
