Control Section

32. MAIN LEVEL

This knob adjusts the

main output level at the
main out XLRs [9] (and
to the RCA main outs
[11] when the live/re-
cord switch [12] is out).
(Remember, when the live
record switch is pushed in,
the RCA main outs are not
affected by the main level
control.)

33. BOOTH LEVEL

This knob adjusts the

output level at the booth
outputs [8].

34. STEREO/MONO

With this switch up, the booth outputs [8] provide a

stereo left and right output of the main mix. Push the
switch in to combine the left and right signals to mono if
you only have one booth monitor speaker.

35. FX SEND LEVEL

This knob controls the amount of signal being sent

to FX send outputs [6]. Adjust this knob to provide an
appropriate input signal level to your external effects
processor (or whatever you have connected to the FX
sends). It ranges from off to +13 dB at maximum.

Note: The FX sends are affected by the transform

switches [41], so if you mute a pgm channel with the
transform switch, the FX send for that pgm channel is
muted as well.

36. FX RETURN LEVEL

This adjusts the signal level coming from your exter-

nal effects processor via the FX return jacks [7]. Use
it to adjust the processed signal going to the main mix
bus. It ranges from off to +13 dB at maximum.

37. FIREWIRE FX RETURN

Press this in if the FX return comes from your com-

puter via FireWire. For example, a processed (wet)
audio signal to add to the main mix.

TRANSFORM

Leave it pressed out if the wet return signals come

into the FX return jacks [7] from an external processor.

38. PHONES LEVEL

This controls the volume of the phones output from

off to maximum gain.

Turn it to off before connecting and putting
on headphones. Increase it slowly to a safe
listening level. See headphone jack [50] on

page 17.

39. PGM/MAIN

Use this switch to select the source for the head-

phones signal. When the switch is up (pgm position),
the signal is tapped just after the bal control [31] on
the pgm channels. You can use the pgm source cross-
fader [40] to fade between pgm 1 and pgm 2.

When the switch is down (main position), the signal

is tapped from the main mix bus, just before the main
level control [32].

40. PGM SOURCE

When the pgm/main switch [39] is up (in the pgm

position), you can use this crossfader to listen to pgm 1
and pgm 2 in the headphones. When the crossfader is all
the way to the left, pgm 1 is heard in the headphones.
When the crossfader is all the way to the right, pgm 2
is heard in the headphones. When the knob is in the
center, the headphones get an even mix of pgm 1 and 2.

Note: When the pgm/main switch is down (main posi-

tion), this control has no effect on the phones output.
