Controls and Functions
MONO INPUT CHANNEL SECTION - continued
NOTE: The signal feeding EFX1 and EFX2 is sent after the
channel Fader (14), so the channel Fader has an effect on
that level, meaning the Aux level tracks up and down with
the channel Fader. This means that the amount of signal
that is sent to the EFFECTS 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 channel Fader volume con-
trol.
10 - PAN Control
The TXM16 and TXM20’s PAN control is used to place or
position the mono signal into the stereo main Left and
Right MIX bus. You can create a stereo image by panning
some input signals to the left and others to the right. The
TXM16 and TXM20’s PAN control is a Power-Pan circuit,
which includes a 3dB dip in the center position. This is
desirable since there’s a 3dB increase in gain when the
mono input signal is heard in both the Left and Right MIX
bus.
11 - MUTE switch
The Mono Input channels feature a large, backlit
MUTE switch allowing you to easily turn that chan-
nel on or off. When MUTE switch is illuminated, the
channel is off, conversely, when the backlight is off,
the channel is on.
12 - PFL (Pre Fader Listen) switch
The Mono Input channel’s PFL, or Pre Fader Listen switch
allows you to listen, or “solo” a channel or group of chan-
nels in the headphones. When the PFL switch is pressed
down, the channel is assigned to the solo bus and can
be heard in any optional headphones plugged in to the
PHONES connector located in the front panel jack field.
Since the signal is sent pre fader, you can hear the signal
regardless of the position of the channel volume Fader.
This allows you to listen to a channel by itself: (let's say) to
see if an artist is out of tune, or to cue up a channel with-
out having to play it through the main PA speakers.
13 - PEAK LED
The TXM16 and TXM20’s MIC/LINE pre-amp also includes a
PEAK LED which when illuminated, indicates that the sig-
nal is peaking or overloading. To reduce distortion, lower
the GAIN control to keep this LED from staying on.
14- VOLUME - Fader Level Control
The VOLUME Fader control adjusts the level of each mono
input channel.
