28 WZ 3 20S User Guide
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. Note that you should
also set the EXT1 stereo/mono jumper to the same
position.
EXT1 stereo/mono aux source The return
channel EXT1 feeds Auxes 1-4 with a mono sum of
the stereo signal. If you are working with stereo
auxes you can reconfigure this for stereo with L
feeding Auxes 1, 3 and R feeding Auxes 2, 4. The
jumper is found behind the AUX2 send control.
AB source pre or post LR faders The
factory default is that the post-fade LR mix feeds the
AB output. If you prefer the master LR faders not to
affect the AB output then reposition the two option
jumpers in the PRE position. This may be desired if
you are using the AB output to feed a 2-track
recording independent of the house level.
