MIC / DJ CHANNEL 1
The Channel 1 has a slightly different arrangement from the other input channels. There are four
differences between this channel and all of the others. They are:
The mic input to this channel can be made to form part of a venue’s emergency
announcement system.
The output from the channel’s fader is routed directly to the master output buses rather
than the A or B buses. This means that the output is never routed through the cross-fader.
When the mic input is selected the output can be blocked from being routed onto the DJ
booth buses. If this mode of operation is selected it prevents howlround in the DJ booth.
The EQ is a conventional +/-12dB 3-band type.
THe channel must be activated using the ON switch.
Mic
This switch is a ‘push on, push off’ type. When this switch is pushed down, the MIC input on the rear
connector panel is selected. A LED* in the switch lights up to show that the mic is selected. When
the switch is in the ‘up’ position the phone or line input is selected (dependiing on the position of the
phono/line switch). (Note: if the MIC switch is not selected this LED will flash if the eternal mute is
activated. This shows that the mic is now routed to the master outputs.)
Phone/Line
This switch is a ‘push on, push off’ type. It routes the signal from the line input when it is ‘up’, and the
phono input when it is ‘down’, The LED in the switch lights when the phono input is selected. This
switch only operates when the mic switch is in the ‘up’ position.
Trim
This control gives a range adjustment of 32dB [+12/-20 for the Line/Phono and +20/-12 for the mic].
This allows you to adjust the input level to provide comparable levels on all of the channels’ faders.
Aux
The Aux pot controls the level of the channel’s signal which is sent to the aux buses. The signal can
be pre-fade or post fade, depending upon the position of the Pre switch.
Pre
When the pre switch is in the ’down’ position, a pre-fade signal is sent to the Aux buses. This means
that the signal level sent to the aux buses does not depend on the position of the channel’s fader.
When the pre switch is in the ’up’ position, a post-fade signal is sent to the aux buses. This means
that the signal level sent to the aux buses also depends on the position of the channel’s fader.
EQ
The three EQ controls allow you to apply a cut or boost to different parts of the audio-frequency
spectrum.
High
This gives a cut or boost of +/-12dB to frequencies over 8kHz
