PAGING
The HOUSE PAGE INPUT provides a means to automatically interrupt all program material, and broadcast
emergency messages at a preset level. The HOUSE PAGE INPUT jack is a balanced 3-pin Euroblock. The Input is
line-level with a maximum signal level of +20 dB. When an input signal greater than –20 dBu is sensed, HOUSE
and BOOTH levels automatically attenuate 40 dB and the HOUSE PAGE INPUT signal routes to both HOUSE
and BOOTH Outputs. The HOUSE PAGE INPUT GAIN is set independent of HOUSE and BOOTH LEVEL
settings. This control is a recessed, screw driver adjusted control located on the rear panel to prevent tampering after
installation.
MIC INPUTS
Both MAIN and AUX MIC Inputs operate separately but identically. The
maximum input and output levels for the EFFECTS loops is +20 dBu.
MAIN & AUX MIC INPUTS are balanced with combination XLR / ¼" TRS
jacks. The maximum input level is +4 dBu. The MAIN MIC GAIN range is +15
dB to +60 dB, and has a PHANTOM POWER switch to select +12 volt phantom
power. The AUX MIC is switchable MIC or LINE level. It has a GAIN control
range of +30 to +60 dB in MIC mode. In LINE mode, the maximum input is +20
dBu with a GAIN control range of 0 to +30 dB. Use the GAIN control in con-
junction with the OL indicator (see below) to set the correct gain.
MAIN & AUX MIC EFFECTS SENDS are unbalanced mono Outputs on ¼" Tip/Sleeve jacks.
This Output is used for external processing, including EQ, dynamic range control, special effects boxes,
etc. The MAIN or AUX MIC signals are always present on each of these respective Outputs.
MAIN & AUX MIC EFFECTS RETURN are unbalanced mono Inputs on ¼" Tip/Sleeve jacks.
This Input receives the signal from an external processor. This is a switching jack—if no external con-
nection is made to the jack, the EFFECTS SEND signal is internally connected to it's own EFFECTS
RETURN .
MAIN & AUX MIC LEVELS are full-range controls used to set the desired level of each mic.
OL (overload) indicators light 3 dB before clipping. The signal level is monitored both pre- and
post-tone control. Adjust the rear panel Input GAIN while speaking loudly into the mic so that the
indicator remains off.
HI, MID and LOW controls provide independent tone control for each of the MICS.
The EFFECTS switch engages the MIC EFFECTS loop. As stated above, if an external connection
is not made to the RETURN jack, the MIC EFFECTS switch has no effect.
The ON switch routes the Mic signal to both MASTER HOUSE and BOOTH. In the ON posi-
tion, the blue indicator lights and the BOOTH level attenuates 12 dB.
LIGHT TRIGGER OUTPUT
The LIGHT TRIGGER OUTPUT is a mono balanced output on a ¼" TRS jack. The output LEVEL range of the
screwdriver adjustment is off to +6 dB. This Output drives a lighting control box or any other equipment requiring a
mono MASTER signal. Maximum Output signal level on this jack is +20 dBu.
