1 PHANTOM POWER
Many professional condenser mics need PHANTOM POWER, which is a
method of sending a powering voltage down the same wires as the mic signal.
Press the switch to enable the +48V power to all of the MIC inputs. The adjacent
LED illuminates when the power is active. TAKE CARE when using unbalanced
mics which may be damaged by the phantom power voltage. Balanced dynamic
mics can normally be used with phantom power switched on (contact your micro-
phone manufacturer for guidance)
Mics should always be plugged in, and all output faders
set to minimum before switching the Phantom Power
ON to avoid damage to external equipment
2 POWER INDICATOR
This LED lights to show when power is connected to the console.
3 BARGRAPH METERS
The three colour peak reading BARGRAPH METERS normally follow the
Monitor selection to show the level of the MIX RIGHT and MIX LEFT outputs,
giving you a constant warning of excessive peaks in the signal which might cause
overloading. Aim to keep the signal just touching the amber segments at peak lev-
els for best performance.
Similarly, if the output level is too low and hardly registering at all on the
meters, the level of background noise may become significant. Take care to set
up the input levels for best performance.
When any PFL switch is pressed, the meters switch to show the selected PFL
signal on both meters, in mono.
4 2TK LEVEL
The rotary control sets the level of the 2 Track Tape input, which is routed to
the headphones, monitor outputs and meters. These inputs, on RCA phono con-
nectors are an ideal to connect the playback of a tape machine for monitoring.
5 MIX/SUB
When this switch is released the meters and headphones monitor the Mix sig-
nal. Alternatively, pressing the switch selects the SUB mix as the monitor source.
6 2TK
Pressing the 2TK switch selects the 2TK input as the monitor source, instead
of the MIX or SUB signal (see MIX/SUB above).
7 MONITOR & PHONES LEVEL
This control sets the output level to the MONITOR LEFT & RIGHT outputs. If
HEADPHONES are plugged into the PHNS jack the Monitor outputs are cut off,
and the knob then sets the headphone listening level. When the PHONES are
unplugged the Monitor output is restored.
8 AUX MASTERS
Each Aux output has a master output level control and associated AFL switch.
