Main Left & Right meters

12 segment LED meters, peak type response, the
“0” position reflects nominal level at the outputs
(+4dBu from the main PGM outputs). The meters
display the signals from the Operator phones se-
lector switches below, or the PFL (pre-fade listen)
signal from any selected channels, which overrides.

Operator phones Source Selector switches

These 5 switches select the signal source for the monitor speak-

ers, operator phones and the meters. They work on a signal mix
basis. By pressing a button, the corresponding signal is added to

the mix. Pressing two buttons mixes both feeds together.
The PFL signal will override the selection if activated.

Guest phones Source Selector switches

Similar to the Operator phones selection switches, these select

the source for the guest headphones output. A different source
can be selected for the guests to that selected for the operator.
The PFL signal is not fed to the guest phones outputs.

Guest / Operator phones level

Adjusts the level of the signal to the guest / operator phones
from off (fully attenuated) to unity gain.

Warning ! To avoid damage to

your hearing do not operate the

headphones or sound system at

e x c e s s i v e l y h i g h v o l u m e .

Continued exposure to high

volume sound can cause frequency

selective or wide range hearing

loss.

Talk to guest button

The TALK switch enables the presenter or operator to communicate with

the guest with the presenters channel fader down so the presenters voice
does not go to the program mix.
The source for the TALK signal is one of the mono channels, preselected by
links set within the XB-10, the factory default is mono channel 1. The signal
source is pre-fade and pre-mute on the selected mono channel.

PFL on light

This LED will come on when any channel PFL switch is pressed.
The PFL signal received is then routed to the operator phones and
monitor. The signal overrides the current selection.
