Aux pre/post insert / EQ Factory default for
the mono channel pre-fade auxes is pre-insert, pre-
EQ. This is popular with many users mixing monitors
from FOH. It prevents the channel EQ and inserted
compressors affecting the monitor mix. Move the
jumper from A to B to change this to post-insert,
post-EQ if preferred. Note that auxes are always
post-mute.
Direct output source Factory default is pre-
fader. This is common for live recording to
multitrack. The live mix fader movements do not
affect the recording. Move the jumper from C to D to
change to post-fade. Post-fade is appropriate when
using the output as a direct channel effects send.
Channel Aux pre/post settings Factory
default is Aux 1-4 = switched, Aux 5-6 = switched.
You can change these settings for different
combinations of pre/post or switched auxes by
repositioning the links. Refer to the system block
diagram to explore the possibilities. Make sure you
set all mono and stereo channels the same. We
recommend you only change these settings if
absolutely necessary.
Stereo/Mono aux source The stereo
channels can feed the auxes with a mono sum of
L+R, or be configured so that L feeds the odd
numbered auxes, and R the even. This is preferred
when using odd/even auxes as stereo pairs. Factory
default is the mono setting.
Talkback mic +48V The factory default is
+48V phantom power turned on for the front panel
talkback mic XLR input. The option jumper is behind
the TB mic XLR on the L Master board. If you prefer,
phantom power can be disabled by repositioning the
jumper to the GND position.
Note that phantom power should not harm non-
powered dynamic microphones as long as balanced
connections are used.
WARNING: Do not connect unbalanced
sources or cables to inputs with phantom power
selected. To avoid loud clicks do not press the
TALK switch when plugging or unplugging the
talkback microphone.
