DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
MASTER SECTION
MASTER
Controls the overall output level of the mixer.
SEND RETURN
Send and Return levels are used to control the volume of the
external effects unit connected to the SMX.501 using the effects
loop. SEND is the level of the signal sent to the effect unit, and
RETURN is the level of the processed signal returning from the
the effects unit.
BOOTH LEVEL
Controls the output level for the booth output. This is basically a
2nd output. It is usually used for monitoring in a DJ booth, but can
be used for various applications.
CUE PAN
Fades the headphone output between the PFL signal (selected by
the Cue Select buttons) and master output, effectively allowing
the user to preview a mix.
CUE SELECT
Selects the channel(s) - 1, 2, or 3 - to be previewed in the head-
phones.
CFX (Cue FX)
Routes the signal from the effects to the headphones allowing
the user to preview the effects mix in the headphones.
MFX (Master FX)
Routes the signal sent to the master output through the effects
loop. This simply means that all audio coming out of the mixer
will be processed. This is very useful for effects such as filters or
compressors.
