Operating the XM910
USING THE DIGITAL EFFECTS
The XM910 features a built-in, high quality, 24 BIT Digital Signal Processor offering studio grade effects. The
DSP features clean Delay, lush Reverbs and multi-effects like Chorus + Delay or Chorus + Reverb. You can add
a broad range of studio quality effects by simply dialing through the 100 presets. The following details the opera-
tion of the internal DSP effects:
1. Connect a mic or instrument to the desired channel, and adjust the volume and
equalizer to your liking.
2. Now select the desired preset using the EFFECTS SELECT switch. Set the DSP
SELECT switch to one of the following 100 effects:
0 - 9 Performance
10 - 19 Hall Reverb
20 - 29 Plate Reverb
30 - 39 Spring Reverb
40 - 49 Echo
50 - 59 Flange + Verb
60 - 69 Chorus + Verb
70 - 79 Echo + Verb
80 - 89 Chorus
90 - 99 Flange
4. Once you have selected the desired effect preset, raise the AUX 2 EFX control on
the channels you wish to apply the digital effect to.
5. Now use the EFX to MAIN/MON knob in the MAIN/MONITOR section to adjust the EFFECTS Return level.
The EFX to MAIN/MON control is the overall level control for the DSP effects processor. If you are not using
the XM910 in MAIN/ MONITOR or BRIDGE mode, be sure to raise the EFX to MAIN/MON control up on both
the MAIN and MAIN/ MONITOR sections so the level of effect is the same in both speakers.
NOTE: If the effect sound is distorted even though the EFX to MAIN/MON is turned down low, lower the AUX 2
EFX controls of each channel.
SENDING AN INDEPENDENT MIX TO THE MONITOR SPEAKERS
The XM910 allows you to operate the power amplifiers in a MAIN/ MONITOR mode. This lets you use one ampli-
fier for speakers facing the audience, and the other amplifier for the monitor speaker facing the musicians.
1. Set the channel MONITOR section and VOLUME control to the "0" position.
2. Raise the AUX 1 MON controls for
the channels that you wish to hear
from the monitor speakers.
NOTE: The MONITOR controls
are not affected by the level
settings of each channel. This
allows you to create a mix for the monitors that is
independent of the MAIN mix.
3. Use the graphic equalizer and MASTER controls of the
MAIN/MONITOR sections to adjust the overall volume
and tone.
