Digital effects processor 11
(66) The FX SEND 1 and 2 connectors also provide the master FX
send signals, for example, to connect them to the inputs of an
external effects device. However, these are “dry” signals only
with no “effect signals” from the built-in effects processor!
(67) The Stereo FX RETURN inputs 1 and 2 return the effect
signals from external effects processors and add them to
the main mix.
Footswitch connectors Fig. 2.27:
(68) The FOOTSW(ITCH) connector allows you to connect a
standard dual footswitch to separately enable/disableFX 1 or
FX 2. The tip of the 1/4" plug controls FX 1, the ring controls
FX 2.

(69) Use the POWER switch to put the mixer into operation.
This switch should always be in the “Off” position when you
connect your unit to the mains.
Please note: The POWER switch does not fully discon-
+
nect the unit from the mains. To disconnect the unit
from the mains, pull out the main cord plug or appli-
ance coupler. When installing the product, ensure the
plug or appliance coupler is readily operable. Unplug
the power cord when the unit is not used for prolonged
periods of time.
(70) With the PHANTOM switch you can activate the phantom
power supply for the XLR connectors of the mono channels
for condenser microphones. The +48 V-LED (37) illuminates
when phantom power is on. In most cases, dynamic micro-
phones can still be used as long as they are connected in
a balanced configuration. If in doubt, please contact the
manufacturer of your microphone!
(71) The mains connection is a standard IEC receptacle. An ap-
propriate power cord is supplied with the unit.
(72) FUSE HOLDER. Before connecting the unit to the mains,
ensure that the voltage setting matches your local voltage.
Blown fuses should only be replaced by fuses of the same
type and rating. Please also read the information given in
chapter 6 “Specifications”.

Digital effects processor 3.
List of all effects presets Fig. 3.1:
99 FIRST-CLASS PRESETS
Here is the list of all multi-effects presets. The built-in
effects processor offers you various standard effects
such as reverb, chorus, flanger, delay and a variety
of combination effects from our renowned studio ef-
fects processor VIRTUALIZER PRO DSP2024P. Use
theFX control on the channels and the FX SEND control to supply
the effects processor with signals. A built-in digital stereo effects
processor has the benefit of no external wiring, thus reducing the
risk of ground loops or level differences. Handling is therefore
much easier.
PARALLEL FX
The effects presets 1 to 70 provide classic “add-to-mix” effects. So,
when you turn up the FX 1 (or 2) TO MAIN control, you create a
mix of the (dry) channel signal and the effect signal. The balance
between the two signals can be set with the FX send and FX 1/2
TO MAIN controls.
This also applies to adding effect signals to the AUX 1 (or 2) moni-
tor mix, with the exception that the mix here is adjusted with the
AUX 1 (or 2) control in the channel strip and the FX TO AUX 1 (or
2) potentiometer. Of course, the effects processor must receive
a signal from the channel using the FX 1 (or 2) control. Make
sure that the PRE switch in the corresponding channel strip(s) is
pressed. Otherwise, the AUX buses will be set post-fader making
the volume of the AUX monitor signal dependent on the position
of the channel fader(s).
INSERT FX (channel is muted)
Effects presets #71 and higher process the entire signal, unlike
the “add-to-mix” effects. When you use an insert preset, be sure
to separate the respective channel from all buses (SUB button
and MAIN button not pressed) and only route the effect signal to
the main mix (FX 1/2 control, FX SEND 1/2 control and FX TO
MAIN 1/2 control).
The channel fader of the corresponding channel remains +
active and governs (in combination with the FX controls)
the signal level sent to the built-in effects processors.
