23: PHANTOM POWER: This switch, when depressed, applies 48
volts DC to pins 2 and 3 of the each channel’s low Z input jacks
(#1, page 4) to accommodate microphones which require a
source of phantom power for proper operation. (Mics not
requiring phantom power are not affected by the presence of the
DC voltage.)
24. AUX SEND LEVELS: Use these controls to set the output levels
for the signals at the aux 2, 3 and 4 send jacks (#17, page 5).
25. AUX RETURNS: Use these controls to adjust the level of the
signals from the aux 3 and 4 return jacks (#19, page 5).
26. AUX PANS: Use these controls to set the balance of the aux 3
and 4 return signal sent to the left and right master faders (#31).
27. HEADPHONES/PFL LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the output
signal level at the headphones/PFL jack (#28).
28. HEADPHONES/PFL JACK: Use this jack to connect a pair of
stereo headphones to the mixer. The signal at this jack is taken
from the PFL bus, therefore the channel PFL buttons must be
depressed in order to hear their signals through the headphones.
29. PFL LEFT/RIGHT/MIX: These switches, when depressed, send
the corresponding PFL signals to the headphones/PFL jack (#28)
and to the PFL output jack (#18).
30. AUX 1 MASTER FADER: Use this control to set the overall out-
put signal level at the aux 1 send jack (#17, page 5). A fader has
been chosen to provide ease of control of aux 1 since this is typ-
ically used as an output signal for the stage monitors.
31. LEFT/RIGHT MASTER FADERS: Use these controls to set the
overall output signal levels at the left and right balanced output
jacks (#15, page 5), as well as the signal level sent to the mix
master fader (#32).
32. MIX MASTER FADER: Use this control to set the overall output
signal level at the mix balanced output jacks (#15, page 5). The
left and right master faders (#31) must be set at an appropriate
level so that a signal of sufficient amplitude is sent to the mix
master fader.
