AUXILIARY INPUTS & OUTPUTS
Maximum Input and Output signal levels on the AUX jacks is +20 dBu.
AUX IN A is a line-level, unbalanced Input on stereo RCA jacks. AUX IN A is summed
with the 4 Channel Input mix. AUX IN A applications include any unbalanced auxiliary input
such as ADAT, VCR, DVD, Video camera, computer audio card, etc.
AUX IN B is a line-level, balanced Input on two ¼" TRS jacks. AUX IN B is summed with
the 4 Channel Input mix. AUX IN B is ideal for use with a balanced source located away from
the main booth. A good example is a satellite performance mixer for a quest Turntablist.
AUX IN A & B level controls adjust gain from off to +6 dB.
AUX OUT A is a line-level, unbalanced Output on stereo RCA jacks.
AUX OUT B is a stereo, line-level, balanced output. The jacks are ¼" TRS.
AUX OUT A & B level controls adjust gain from off to +6 dB.
AUX OUT A, PRE – POST – MIC switch sets AUX OUT A source to PRE-Master-Effects-loop,
POST-Master-Effects-Loop or Post-Master-Effects-Loop-plus-MIC. Source selection and level control
give AUX OUT A the versatility to accommodate applications ranging from recording to additional
Zone Output.
AUX OUT B PRE – POST – MIC switch sets AUX OUT B source to PRE-Master-Effects, POST-
Master-Effects or Post-Master-Effects-plus-MIC. Source selection and level control give AUX OUT B
the versatility to accommodate applications ranging from recording to additional Zone output.
MASTER MIX PROCESSING
The MASTER mix is the point at which all input signals (CH 1 – CH 4, AUX A, AUX B, MAIN MIC and AUX MIC)
are summed together to form one stereo signal.
MASTER signal processing includes the MASTER EFFECTS loop, REMOTE LEVEL control, MASTER LIMIT,
system MONO, system BALANCE, LIGHT TRIGGER and EMERGENCY PAGE.
All MASTER signal processing influences HOUSE and BOOTH Outputs equally. The MASTER mix is then split into
HOUSE and BOOTH Outputs.
Maximum Input and Output signal levels on MASTER EFFECTS jacks is +20 dBu.
MASTER EFFECTS SEND is an unbalanced Output on ¼" Tip/Sleeve jacks. This Output sends signal
to any external processing, including EQ, dynamic range control, special effects, etc. The MASTER signal
is always present at this Output.
MASTER EFFECTS RETURN is an unbalanced Input on ¼" Tip/Sleeve jacks. This Input receives the
signal from the external processor. These are switching jacks—if no external connection is made to the
jacks, the MASTER EFFECTS SEND signal is internally connected to the MASTER EFFECTS RE-
TURN.
The MASTER EFFECTS switch enables the MASTER EFFECTS loop. As stated above, if an external
connection is not made to the RETURN jacks, the MASTER EFFECTS switch has no effect.
The REMOTE LEVEL port provides a means to control the level of the MASTER mix from a remote
location. The range of control is 0 dB to –40 dB. Applications include ”gain riding” DJs, setting a comfortable
listening level from a remote location and reducing the maximum available gain. See VR 1 Remote Level
Control on page Manual-7 for hookup details.
