AUX 1-6 OUTPUTS Each of the six auxiliary sends is available on a 3 pole TRS jack
socket. These are impedance balanced to reduce noise pickup on long cable runs.
Connect to balanced or unbalanced equipment as shown above. Nominal operating level
is –2dBu but gain is available using the send master control to drive +4dBu if required.
Use pre-fade auxes to feed stage monitor, foldback and cue systems. Use post-fade
auxes to feed effects processors such as reverb, and to provide independent zone,
cleanfeed and recording feeds.

LOCAL MONITOR OUTPUTS A pair of 3 pole TRS jack sockets provide left and right
outputs from the console local monitor system. These are impedance balanced and can
be connected to balanced or unbalanced equipment as shown above. Nominal operating
level is –2dBu but gain is available to drive +4dBu if required. Independent control is
provided for the local and the headphones monitor systems.

HEADPHONES 2 OUTPUT Two outputs are available for stereo headphones, one on
the front panel, the other on the rear panel. This is convenient for permanent installation
or when two headphones are required at the same time, for example presenter and guest
in a broadcast application. The same signal is available from both. Headphones are
available in many different styles, impedances and volume ratings. To get the best from
your system we recommend that you use high quality closed ear headphones in the
range 30 to 600 ohms. 8 Ohm headphones are not recommended.

WARNING Some headphones are more sensitive than others and can

produce higher output levels. To avoid damage to your hearing start with the
PHONES level control at minimum and turn up only as much as is needed to
maintain comfortable listening level. Do not drive headphones at high listening
levels for long periods of time.
