COMPRESSORS/LIMITERS
These are often used to prevent excessive peaks
overloading the amplification system, for example in
club installations subject to sound level control.
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 aux
mixes 1-4 through groups
1-4. Set L-R switch in the
up position for conventional
operation.
Set LR SUM MONO switch
to up
for mono out (L+R
sum).
This example shows the console
configured to control a Left, Right and
Centre Front of House system with 4 full
feature stage monitor mixes.
Stage monitor sends aux 1-4 are set
pre-fade so that the signal level is not
affected by the fader position and the
FOH mix.
Aux 5-6 are set post-fade to access two
effects devices whose outputs are
added to the L-R mix via stereo returns
1 and 2. Alternatively, these may be
connected to the stereo channels.
The channel and output inserts may be
used for outboard effects and signal
processors such as compressors,
limiters and graphic equalisers.
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.
