12 HEADPHONES SOCKET
The PHONES output is a 3-pole 6.35mm (1/4") jack, wired as a stereo output, ideally for headphones of
150
Ω or greater. 8Ω headphones are not recommended.
13 METERS & AFL/PFL ACTIVE LED
The three-colour peak reading BARGRAPH METERS normally show the level of the signal(s) selected by the
monitor source-select switches, giving you a constant warning of excessive peaks in the signal(s) which
might cause overloading. Aim to keep the signal within the amber segments at peak levels for best perform-
ance.
Similarly, if the output level is too low and hardly registering at all on the meters, the level of background
noise may become significant. Take care to set up the input levels for best performance.
When any AFL/PFL switch is pressed, the meters switch to show the selected AFL/PFL signal on both meters,
in mono; the AFL/PFL ACTIVE LED also lights.
MIX & SUB-GROUP OUTPUTS
14 MIX FADER
The MIX FADER sets the final level of the Mix outputs. This should normally be set close to the ‘0’ mark if the
input GAIN settings have been correctly set, to give maximum travel on the fader for smoothest control.
15 SUB FADERS
This pair of faders sets the final levels of the Sub-group outputs. These should normally be set close to the
‘0’ mark if the input GAIN settings have been correctly set, to give maximum travel on the faders for smoothest
control.
16 TO MIX
This switch routes the Sub-L and Sub-R signals to the main mix.
17 STEREO/MONO
If this switch is depressed a mono sum of the sub-group signals is routed to the main mix.
18 MIX OUTPUTS
The Mix LEFT and RIGHT outputs are sent from the XLR sockets as balanced signals.
19 MONO OUTPUT
A mono sum of the mix left and right signals is output on this balanced 3-pole 6.35mm (1/4”) jack socket.
20 SUB OUTPUTS
The Sub-L and Sub-R signals are output on these balanced 3-pole 6.35mm (1/4”) jack sockets.
21 RECORD OUTPUTS
These two RCA outputs carry a copy of the MIX L and MIX R signals. They allow the use of a recording device,
e.g. DAT player, Minidisc, Cassette tape recorder etc.
