SONOSAX SX-S - Manual (Page 5)

222.4.2 30 dB PAD (Input attenuator)
223. To be switched on when the OVD LED lights up at minimum gain control setting. This happens, for instance, when high level input sources such as a tape recorder or a
condenser microphone at high acoustic levels are used.
224.
225.4.3 GAIN
226. This potentiometer allows adjustment of the global gain from 24dB to 85dB, and with PAD on from -6dB to 30dB. The gain control should be used with great care since
the adjustment range is extensive.
227.
228.4.4 L.F. CUT
229. Low frequency filter at fixed slope 12dB per octave. The cutting frequency is progressively adjustable from 20Hz to 500Hz.
230. NOTE : This filter is not disconnected by switching off the EQ push-button.

235. 5. MASTER MODULE
236.
237.5.1 Master faders
238. There are two separate faders to permit different adjustments between right and left. Calibration position (0dB) is at the end of the fader stroke length.
239.
240.5.2 Monitor level & mono test
241. The control section of the SONOSAX SX-S includes the modulometer, the output listening (phones) and the output monitor. As long as no PFL button has been
switched on, the modulometer and the output listening are controlled by the main L+R output signal. As soon as a PFL button is depressed, the modulometer and the
output listening automatically switch over to the input selected.
242. NOTE: It is normal to hear a clicking sound as the buttons are depressed. Under no circumstance does this sound go through the main output or any of the modulation
outputs.
243. The MONO push-button switches the modulometer and monitor output listening to Mono in order to easily detect a phase error. This button does not in any way affect
the main output. The MONITOR output gives the same modulation as the monitor output listening at +6 dBu,to feed, for instance, a power amplifier.
244.
245.
246.5.3 AUX master
247. The AUX potentiometer regulates the general mixing level of the inputs (3.9). This output is connected with a Mini-Jack. Nominal level is +6dBu, ground compensated.
248.
249. The PFL selector of the AUX section allows modulation control before the AUX Master potentiometer.
250.
251.5.4 EXT or Tape return
252. This stereo input is connected directly to the main outputs, before the MASTER Faders. This input is intended for Tape Return or for interconnecting 2 SONOSAX SX-S.
It connects with a Mini-Jack, and is adjusted by the TAPE potentiometer. The PFL selector of the Tape section controls stereo modulation before the potentiometer.
253.
254.
255.5.5 Oscillator
256. Your SONOSAX SX-S includes an internal oscillator. The oscillator may be switched on as follows:
• THROUGH THE OSC SWITCH: In this case, the oscillator signal goes into the right and left outputs, before the Master Faders. With the faders at 0dB, the signal
is at 0dB on the modulometer scale. It is possible to regulate the faders for a -20dB level to check the azimuth of a tape recorder.
• BY PLUGGING A MINI-JACK INTO THE OSC 0dB PLUG: In this case, the OSC switch must not be switched on. With a cable fitted with a Mini-Jack and an XLR
male plug, you may completely check your SX-S by re-injecting the oscillator signal into the inputs.
