PLUGGING UP THE SYSTEM (CONT’D)

L-R MIX INSERTS

Operation is identical to channel inserts. Use these sockets if you wish to insert external

signal processing equipment into the mix pre-L-R fader. For live sound it is common to

insert graphic equalisers to adjust for the room acoustics. Use a suitable Y-adapter lead as

illustrated on page 11 : tip = send, ring = return.

GROUPS

Groups 1-4 are output to 3-wire balanced XLR connectors to drive long cable runs. Inserts

are provided as for the L-R outputs. Groups can be used to drive additional power amplifiers

and speakers or for 4 track recording. If MODE SWITCHING aux/groups reverse is in

operation, group faders are connected to the corresponding aux buss (Aux 1 to Group 1

fader, etc...). Refer to MODE SWITCHING section on page 15 for more information.

AUXILIARY SENDS

Auxiliaries 1-6 can be used to set up one or more stage monitor mixes or effects sends.

Auxiliary outputs are on 1/4” TRS jacks.

Set up a pre-fade aux mix to send a stage monitor or cue mix to the performers. The aux

outputs are 3-wire balanced for interference rejection when plugged into equipment with

balanced inputs.

Set up a post-fade aux mix to send channel signals to an external effects device such as

reverb or delay. Return the processed signal to the mix by plugging the device output into

stereo returns 1-4, or into a stereo channel input. These inputs can operate balanced or

unbalanced. For a mono return simply plug into the L input, leaving R unplugged. The

setting of the channel aux send control combined with that of the fader position determines

how much of the signal is sent to the aux master and subsequently to the effects unit.

If MODE SWITCHING aux/groups reverse is in operation, aux master level controls are

connected to the corresponding group busses (Group 1 to Aux Master 1, etc...). Refer to

MODE SWITCHING section on page 15 for more information.

TWO TRACK RECORD AND REPLAY

Individual RCA phono sockets are provided for connecting a 2-Track stereo recorder such

as a cassette or DAT machine. Connect the recorder input (REC) connections to the send

sockets and the recorder output (PLAY) connectors to the return sockets.

The return can be switched to L-R mix for recording playback. The return can also be used

for intermission replay from a CD player or similar playback device
