Aux Masters, Aux Returns &
Internal FX
42. AUX MASTERS
These knobs provide overall control over the aux
mon and aux FX levels just before they are delivered
to the aux mon and aux FX outputs [26, 27], as well as
internal FX in the case of the FX master. These knobs go
from off to +15 db when turned all the way up.
Auxiliary is usually the knob you turn up when the
lead singer glares at you, points at his stage monitor,
and sticks his thumb up in the air. (It would follow that
if the singer stuck his thumb down, you’d turn the knob
down, but that never happens.)
43. AUX RETURNS
These three controls set the overall level of line
signals received from the aux return L-R jacks [29].
These controls range from off to +15 db (to mon 1/2)
and off to +10 db (to main L-R) of gain when fully
clockwise, to compensate for low-level effects.
Signals passing through these controls go
directly to the main mix and monitor mix
where they are combined with signals from
the channels.
44. INTERNAL FX
These knobs route the effects output to mon 1, mon
2 and mains independently. Use mon 1 and mon 2 to
provide effects to monitors. Slowly add effects to the
monitors by turning the 'to mon 1' and 'to mon 2' knobs
clockwise. Use the aux master [42] to monitor the
amount sent. The FX output to the mains will be heard
directly from the PA.
45. PRESET SELECTOR
Rotate this endless control to
select one of the 16 preset effects.
When the rotation stops, that preset
will be loaded and become
operational. The current preset
number is shown in the display [46].
The different presets are shown in
the table below and on the
silkscreen just below the stereo
graphic EQ [37]. Further details of
each preset are explained in
Appendix D on page 34. Only one
preset may be selected at a time.
46. PRESET DISPLAY
This display shows the number of the currently
selected effects preset, as shown in the list of presets
above. Rotate the preset selector knob [45] right or left
to change a preset.
A new preset will be loaded approximately 1/4 of a
second after you stop turning the knob, and it will be
stored into the FX memory after about one second.
When the mixer is turned on, the FX section will load up
the last-used preset.
47. SIG / OL LED
This bi-colored LED illuminates green when the signal
level going into the effects processor is within a good
operating range (sig). It illuminates red if the effects
processor is overloaded with too strong of a signal (ol).
Turn down the FX send master level [44] and check the
channel sends if these light red regularly.
The signals going into the processor are affected by
the channel gain [9], EQ [11-15], and channel faders
[23], as well as the channel FX sends [17] and the FX
send master [42].
