EFX TO MON - Effects Return
Control
The EFX TO MON control is used to adjust the
level of the effect sound being sent back from
the built-in digital effect to the MONITOR bus.
This allows you to hear the DSP effects in your
monitor speakers.
MASTER - Volume Control
The MASTER level control is the overall con-
trol for the MONITOR bus. The MONITOR
level affects both the MONITOR bus signal
which is sent to the monitor speakers and the
line level signal which is sent from the AUX 1
SEND jack.
Output Level Meter
The OUTPUT LEVEL METER allows you to monitor the level of the signal which is being sent to the AUX
1 SEND jack and MONITOR POWER AMPLIFIER.
NOTE: To avoid distortion, adjust the MASTER level control so that the 0 indicator LED lights occasionally.
Graphic Equalizer
The XM910’s 10-band Graphic Equalizer allows you to contour the frequency response of the MONITOR
bus signal, providing a maximum of 12dB of cut/boost for each frequency band. This is an especially useful
tool for cutting frequencies that cause annoying feedback. The frequency response is flat when the sliders
are in the center position. Moving a slider in the positive direction will boost that frequency by as much as
12dB, and moving the slider in the negative direction will cut that frequency by up to 12dB. Once you set a
frequency response curve using the Graphic Equalizer, the EQ curve is applied to both the MONITOR bus
signal that is sent to the monitor speakers, and the line level signal which is sent from the AUX 1 SEND
jack.
Low Cut - switch
The MASTER / MONO output of the XM910’s includes a LOW CUT (or high pass) filter which rolls off the
low frequencies from 75Hz and below at the rate of 18dB per octave. The LOW CUT filter allows you to
remove the lower frequencies that you sometime just don’t want to pick up. For example, when you are
using the XM910 mostly for vocals, you may not want to pick up the low end generated by other live instru-
ments like bass and low-end synthesizers played out of back-line amplifiers on stage. In many live sound
applications, the LOW CUT filter is especially useful for removing stage rumble.
MONITOR SECTION
The XM910 has two internal power amplifiers and
depending on the MODE selection switch, the ampli-
fiers received their input signals from the MAIN or
MONITOR bus. The following section describes the
MONITOR bus operation, which allows you to adjust
the overall tone and volume, and specify the mix level
of the built-in effects.
