Fig. 2.26: FX send and return connectors
The FX SEND 1 and 2 connectors also provide the master
FX send signals, for example, to connect them to the inputs
of an external effects device. However, these are “dry”
signals only with no “effect signals” from the built-in effects
processor!
The STEREO FX RETURN inputs 1 and 2 return the effect
signals from external effects processors and add them to
the main mix.
Fig. 2.27: Footswitch connectors
The FOOTSW(ITCH) connector allows you to connect a
standard dual footswitch to separately enable/disable FX
1 or FX 2. The tip of the 1/4" plug controls FX 1, the ring
controls FX 2.

Use the POWER switch to put the mixer into operation.
This switch should always be in the “Off” position when
you connect your unit to the mains.
+
Please note: The POWER switch does not fully
disconnect the unit from the mains. Unplug the
power cord when the unit is not used for prolonged
periods of time.
With the PHANTOM switch you can activate the phantom
power supply for the XLR connectors of the mono channels
for condenser microphones. The +48 V-LED illuminates
when phantom power is on. In most cases, dynamic
microphones can still be used as long as they are connected
in a balanced configuration. If in doubt, please contact the
manufacturer of your microphone!
The mains connection is a standard IEC receptacle. An
appropriate power cord is supplied with the unit.
FUSE HOLDER. Before connecting the unit to the mains,
ensure that the voltage setting matches your local voltage.
Blown fuses should only be replaced by fuses of the same
type and rating. Please also read the information given in
chapter 6 “SPECIFICATIONS”.
SERIAL NUMBER. Please take the time to fill in and return
the warranty card within 14 days after the date of purchase,
so as to benefit from our extended warranty. Or register

Fig. 3.1: List of all effects presets
99 FIRST-CLASS PRESETS
Here is the list of all multi-effects presets. The built-in effects
processor offers you various standard effects such
as reverb, chorus, flanger, delay and a variety of
combination effects from our renowned studio effects
processor VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P. Use the FX
control on the channels and the FX SEND control to
supply the effects processor with signals. A built-in digital stereo
effects processor has the benefit of no external wiring, thus
reducing the risk of ground loops or level differences. Handling
is therefore much easier.
PARALLEL FX
The effects presets 1 to 70 provide classic “add-to-mix”
effects. So, when you turn up the FX 1 (or 2) TO MAIN control,
you create a mix of the (dry) channel signal and the effect
signal. The balance between the two signals can be set with the
FX send and FX 1/2 TO MAIN controls.
This also applies to adding effect signals to the AUX 1 (or 2)
monitor mix, with the exception that the mix here is adjusted with
the AUX 1 (or 2) control in the channel strip and the FX TO AUX
1 (or 2) potentiometer. Of course, the effects processor must
receive a signal from the channel using the FX 1 (or 2) control.
Make sure that the PRE switch in the corresponding channel
strip(s) is pressed. Otherwise, the AUX buses will be set post-
fader making the volume of the AUX monitor signal dependent on
the position of the channel fader(s).
INSERT FX (channel is muted)
Effects presets #71 and higher process the entire signal, unlike
the “add-to-mix” effects. When you use an insert preset, be
sure to separate the respective channel from all buses (SUB
button and MAIN button not pressed) and only route the effect
signal to the main mix (FX 1/2 control, FX SEND 1/2 control and
FX TO MAIN 1/2 control).
+
The channel fader of the corresponding channel
remains active and governs (in combination with
the FX controls) the signal level sent to the built-in
effects processors.
