Stereo Effects Processor
The Mackie Running-Man 32-bit internal effects
processor is a mono-in, stereo-out effects processor,
with 16 presets. It is fed by adjusting the aux FX control
[26] on each channel. The FX master knob [51] adjusts
the overall level entering the FX processor and the
OL LED [52] shows if the level is too high.
The output from the processor may be added to
the main mix by adjusting the FX return fader [45].
Its output may also be added to the monitor mix by
adjusting the FX to mon knob [53].
48. PRESET DISPLAY
This display shows the number of the currently
selected effects preset, as shown in the list of presets
silkscreened to the left of the display.
49. PRESET SELECTOR
Rotate this knob to increase or decrease the number
of the preset. The available presets are shown in the
table on the next page and are marked on the panel
silkscreen. (Only one preset may be selected at a time.)
50. INTERNAL FX MUTE and LED
When engaged, the internal effects processor is
muted. Its output will not appear in the main mix or
monitors, and the adjacent LED will come on. The
footswitch connection [15] becomes disabled and the
footswitch cannot be used to mute or un-mute the
effects.
If this switch is not engaged, then the internal effects
may be muted or un-muted with a footswitch.
51. FX MASTER
Use this knob to control the level of the signals going
into the internal effects processor. Adjust it carefully,
with an inner magical eye on the adjacent OL LED [52]
to prevent overloading the effects processor.
Fully down is off, 12 o'clock is unity gain, and fully up
is 15 dB of gain.
It also affects the level going out of the FX send
output [13].
52. OL LED
This LED illuminates when the effects processor is
being overloaded with too strong a signal (OL). Turn
down the FX master [51] if it is.
The signals going into the processor are affected by
the channel aux FX controls [26], and the channel
faders [30]. Check the LED if these controls have been
altered.
53. FX TO MON
This knob adds the output of the internal FX
processor to the stage monitor mix. Fully down is off,
12 o'clock is unity gain, and fully up is 15 dB of gain.
