Samson PL2404 - Manual (Page 4)

PL 2404 Features
• An independent electronically balanced Control Room output (with dedicated
level control) for connection to a power amplifier and studio monitors.
• Four Bus faders enable easy control of bus output levels.
• Input trims for the mic inputs of channels 1 and 3 are continuously adjustable
from +4 to -50 dB, making it possible to use the PL 2404 with a wide variety
of microphone types.
• Four auxiliary sends and four stereo auxiliary returns (which can be routed to
any of the four buses). All aux sends are post-fader and post-equalizer.
• Independent 3-band equalization for each channel, with 15 dB of cut or boost
for low (80 Hz), mid (1 kHz) and high (10 kHz) frequencies.
• Balance controls for each channel that allow you to blend the relative levels
of stereo inputs.
• Center detents for all Balance and EQ controls, making it easy to use the
PL 2404 even in low-light situations such as live performance.
• Selectable Pre Fade Listen (PFL) or After Fade Listen (AFL) soloing for each
channel. PFL allows headphone monitoring of individual channels, pre-fader
(but post-EQ), while AFL enables headphone monitoring of individual
channels, post-fader and post-EQ, with the channel in its proper stereo
position. Both types of solo function are non-mix-destructive in that they do
not affect the signal being output either by the Main, Bus, or Control Room
outputs.
• A flexible front panel metering system includes a ten-segment level meter
and allows you to view at a glance the levels of the main Left/Right output,
as well as power and PFL or AFL status.
• An independent front-panel headphone output with dedicated volume
control and Main/Solo switch for selective monitoring of either the Main
output or of channels that are soloed.
• Channel inserts are provided for channels 1 - 4, enabling you to use
outboard signal processors such as equalizers, compressor/ limiters, or
noise gates in a standard “effect loop.”
• Bus inserts allow external signals to be submixed into any or all of the four
buses and also enables linking of multiple mixers.
• The PL 2404 can be mounted in any standard 19" rack (taking four rack
spaces), making it easy to integrate into any existing system.
• Last but certainly not least, affordability. The PL 2404 has been designed
from the ground up to provide versatility and excellent sound quality at a
cost-conscious price.
