These
switches
are
recessed
to
avoid
accidental operation. Set
using a pen tip or pointed
object.
Set the AUX REVERSE
switch
to
the
down
position (below panel) to
route the aux mix through
the groups and L-R XLR
outputs for stage monitor
level control with fader.
Set
LR SUM MONO
switch to down (below
panel)
for
engineer's
listen
wedge
following
PFL/AFL.

This example shows the 6 aux sends
routed through the main groups and L-R
outputs to provide 6 independent stage
monitor mixes with metering, ON/OFF
switches, inserts and balanced XLR
connectors.
The AUX/GROUP reverse switches
reroute the group and L-R mix to the
aux
jacks
outputs
for
additional
monitoring or effect sends or as
independent submix facilities.
For
example, aux 5 and 6 jack outputs may
provide a seperate stereo mix output
from the channel L-R routing switches
and the additional 4 stereo return line
inputs.
Use the groups to add effects such as
delay, reverb or echo to the stage
monitors.
GRAPHIC EQUALISERS
Graphic equalisers plugged into the console inserts are an invaluable aid to
reducing on-stage acoustic feedback and enhancing the clarity of the
monitors. Using AFL allows the stage engineer to check the operation of
the equalisers in the listen wedge monitor. It is best to use the same type
of loudspeaker for the engineer's monitor as those used on stage.
ENGINEER'S WEDGE MONITOR
Set up the WEDGE MIX by selecting
one
or
a
combination
of
the
groups/L-R AFL switches to listen to
the desired monitor outputs. These
are post insert and therefore post
graphic EQ and
post fader for
accurate monitoring.
Pressing any PFL or AFL switch
allows channel set up
and signal
checking.
