1. ECHO IN connector (XLR type) is balanced, transformer-isolated. The nominal level and

impedance are +4dB and 600 ohms, respectively.

2. GROUND (GND) LIFT Switch is for pin 1, which is used to avoid ground loops that are

often caused in connection with other equipment and that may induce hum. Sliding the

ground lift switch from the NORMAL position to the LIFT position cuts ground loops and
may reduce hum. For most applications it should be set to the NORMAL position.

3. ACCESSORY SEND/RECEIVE jacks are unbalanced and their nominal level and

impedance are +4dB and 10k ohms, respectively. They provide the capability to insert

signal processing devices into the signal path for special applications. The regular signal

path between the group mixing bus and group out is interrupted at the RCV jack by

inserting a plug into it.

4. SUB INPUT connector (female, XLR type) is balanced, transformer-isolated. Its nominal

level and impedance are +4dB and 600 ohms, respectively. This connector is useful for
cascade connection with another mixer to expand the input capacity.

5. GROUND (GND) LIFT switch is for pin 1 of the Sub Input connector.

6. ECHO SEND PEAK level indicator turns on when the echo send output signal level

reaches l0dB above nominal.

7. ECHO SEND master control adjusts the output signal level of ECHO SEND output on the

rear of the frame.

8. EQUALIZER for ECHO IN consists of the following three equalizers

HIGH

10kHz

±15dB boost/cut

shelving type

MID

200—5kHz variable

±15dB boost/cut

peaking type

LOW

l00Hz

±15dB boost/cut

shelving type

Flat frequency response is provided at "0" position of each equalizer.

9. EQUALIZER IN/OUT switch permits the equalizer to be either in circuit or out of circuit.

10. GROUP ASSIGN pushbuttons apply the ECHO input to any of the four mixing busses.

11. ECHO IN master control adjusts the level of the signal to be fed to the group mixing

busses.

12. CUE pushbutton assigns the signal (pre ECHO IN master control) to the cue bus for

monitoring with headphones, monitor speakers, and/or the cue VU meter. A separate cue

VU meter is provided on the RX-7-328, but the cue and talkback VU meter is combined
and is switchable on the RX-7-164 and RX-7-248.

13. GROUP ON/OFF pushbutton connects or disconnects the signal to the GROUP out and

group out bus. The adjacent green LED illuminates when the group out is "on".

14. PEAK level indicator turns on when the group output signal level reaches l0dB above

nominal.

15. GROUP FADER TRAVEL is calibrated in dB and insures very smooth operation. The

fader controls the level of the signal to be fed to the group out and group out bus.

16. CUE pushbutton assigns the pre group-fader signal to the cue bus for monitoring with

headphones, monitor speakers, and/or the cue VU meter. A separate cue VU meter is

provided on the RX-7-328, but the cue and talkback VU meter is combined and is
switchable on the RX-7-164 and RX-7-248.
