28. PHANTOM POWER LED
This light comes on when the rear panel
PHANTOM POWER (54) switch is turned on. This
indicates that the XLR MIC (1) inputs are supplied
with 48 volts.
29. LAMP
This female BNC connector allows you to attach
a “Littlelite” brand gooseneck lamp or equivalent,
to shine a light on the control surface, and give you
that mysterious cool look, as you work in the dark.
30. PHONES
This is where you plug in a nice pair of stereo
headphones. It accepts 1/4" stereo plugs. Adjust the
level using the PHONES (40) knob.
Caution:
Always turn the PHONES knob
down when making connections, or when
pushing any switches. These precautions
will help protect your hearing.
31. 7-BAND STEREO GRAPHIC EQ
The magnificent seven sliders allow you to
equalize the main mix, or the stage monitor mix.
Each slider varies the level by ±15 dB either side of
unity gain. The frequency bands are 64 Hz, 125 Hz,
400 Hz, 1 kHz, 2.5 kHz, 8 kHz and 16 kHz.
Adjust the EQ wisely and subtly. Do not overdo
the EQ gain, as this might lead to overloading or
clipping. Think of it like makeup, it should be applied
sparingly for a lovely effect, not caked on like wall
plaster.
32. MAIN MIX/AUX 1 MON
This switch lets you assign the EQ (31) to either the
main mix or the Aux 1 stage monitor mix.
In the up position, the main mix will pass through
the EQ, and the monitor mix is not affected. You
can then adjust the sound of your main speakers,
and compensate for the effects of the room
environment.
In the down position, the stage monitor mix passes
through one side of the stereo EQ, and the main mix
is not affected. You can adjust the EQ to prevent
mic or guitar feedback from the stage monitors, or
allow the band to hear the monitors more clearly, or
less clearly if that helps any.
33. EQ BYPASS
This switch allows you to quickly bypass the EQ
(31) so you can judge its effect without having to set
the sliders back to center. Push it in to hear the EQ,
and leave it up to bypass.
