MIC INPUTS AND CONTROLS

20. Mic 1/Mic 2 Inputs

Mic 1 and Mic 2 Inputs are balanced XLR types. Each has a separate
Level control but shares a common EQ. A phantom power of +15 VDC
is supplied automatically for those mics that may require it. Care should
be taken when using some wireless mics that cannot work with
phantom power. Consult your wireless mic ownerÕs manual for proper
operation. If phantom power cannot be used it is possible to modify
your unit to defeat the phantom power. You may contact an authorized
Peavey Service Center for more information.

21. Mic Signal Level/Indicator

The Mic 1 and Mic 2 Level controls adjust the input level of their
respective mics. Turning the control fully clockwise (+45 dB) will result
in maximum gain. Both level controls have a signal present LED
Indicator which illuminates when the signal level exceeds -40 dBu.

22. Mute Switch/Indicator

The Mute Switch defeats both mics so that they become inactive when
mic silence is desired. Mute is indicated when the Mute LED Indicator
illuminates.

23. Mic EQ

This two-band (Hi and Low) active equalization affects only the Mic 1
and Mic 2 signals. The Hi EQ is centered at 10 kHz and the Low at
80 Hz. Both are of the shelving type and offer between 15 dB of gain
and 15 dB of cut. Built into the EQ path is a 75 Hz 18 dB/oct low cut
filter to reduce breath pops and handling noise. This has no user
controls and canÕt be defeated.

MASTER SECTION

24. Power LED

This LED illuminates when power is supplied to the unit and the unit is
turned on.

25. Voice-over

This button lowers the level of the music 10 dB to accommodate speech
from the two mics. The cue and mic signals are not affected. Use this
feature to introduce material when using Mic 1 or Mic 2. It is also useful
for Òpunching inÓ to material for announcements. The Voice Over button is
latching. You must push it again to return to normal levels. The Voice Over
LED will illuminate when Voice Over is activated.

26. Main Level

The Main Level control is the master volume for Outputs (6), (7), and (8).
These are the main (floor) outputs of the mixer. Adjusting this control fully
clockwise will result in maximum signal level at these outputs.

27. Main Pan (L-R)

Use this control in conjunction with the Stereo Output Level Indicator (35)
to balance the Left and Right signal levels. As one side is boosted, the
other is cut.
