FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION
햲 POWER switch: Depress the upper portion of this switch to turn the unit on (with power supply plugged in); depress the
lower portion to turn the unit off. Depressing the center portion of the switch causes acute indecision stress to the switch’s
personality profile, which in turn depresses it. To alleviate this condition, the switch must be “turned on”, so to speak.
햳 Input SEND Level control: determines the amount of Post-Fade stereo input is fed to the auxiliary buses. Each Input’s
stereo SEND is summed on this bus and is available at the respective LEFT and RIGHT LOOP SENDS on the rear of the
mixer.
햴 Input BALANCE control: In its center detent, Left and Right signals to each channel are allowed to pass at their original
relative levels, therefore preserving the stereo image developed by the program or instrument connected to the Inputs.
When the control is moved vertically toward the “L” position, the Right channel level is decreased while the Left channel
level is maintained. The opposite occurs if the control is moved from the detent toward the “R”. When a mono input is used
(no plug in the RIGHT Input jack), the BAL control becomes a PAN control, panning the mono signal from the Left to
Right channels.
햵 Input LEVEL control: is a rotary stereo attenuator that adjusts the amount of both Left and Right signals applied to the
Input. Its output is routed to the main summing amplifier for mixing with all other Inputs. The unity gain position of this
control is located at “7.5".
햶 Input OVERLOAD indicator: This red LED illuminates whenever the Input’s output exceeds a level 4 dB below clipping.
햷 RETURN BALANCE control: is a vertical slider that controls the effect or source connected to the LOOP RETURN in the
same way the Input BALANCE controls work (see
햴 above).
햸 RETURN LEVEL control: is a rotary stereo attenuator that controls the amount of Return which is to be added to the
Main Output. The unity gain position of this control is located at “7.5"
햹 RETURN OVERLOAD indicator: This red LED illuminates whenever the return levels exceed a level of 4 dB below
clipping.
햺 OUTPUT BALANCE control: isa vertical slider that operates in the same fashion as the BALANCE control described in
item
햴 above. It however, determines the relative levels of the LEFT and RIGHT main OUTPUTS only.
햻 OUTPUT LEVEL control: is a rotary stereo attenuator that controls the final signal Level at the main OUTPUT jacks. The
unity gain position of this control is located at “7.5".
햽 OUTPUT OVERLOAD indicator: This red LED illuminates any time the output level exceeds 4 dB below clipping.
