The equipment has been installed and operated in accordance with the instructions in this User Guide 2. [. . . ] Use HI boost to brighten up the sound by adding sparkle, and cut to reduce source hiss or ambient high frequency pickup. MID 1 Turn the +/- control clockwise to boost and anticlockwise to cut the higher mid frequencies. This has a bell shaped peak/dip response that has maximum boost or cut at the selected frequency. Use the upper control to select this centre frequency between 500Hz and 15kHz. Boosting around 3kHz can enhance the intelligibility of vocals helping them to cut through the mix. Cutting to notch out a ringing frequency can help to increase the gain before feedback. MID 2 This is similar to MID 1 but affects the lower mid frequencies selectable from 35Hz to 1kHz. Boosting can enhance the warmth of the sound while cutting can reduce the effect of resonant or boomy frequencies. LO Turn this control clockwise to boost and anticlockwise to cut the low (bass) frequencies. This has a shelving response with all frequencies below the 60Hz turning point affected. Note that frequencies above 60Hz are affected but by a decreasing amount. Use LO boost to enhance low end punch, and cut to further reduce source hum and rumble. 20 XONE:464 User Guide AUXILIARY SENDS These controls route the channel signal to the AUX 1 to 6 mix. These are independent from the main mix and can therefore provide additional outputs for monitors, effects, cleanfeed, zone, recording feeds etc. AUX LEVEL Adjusts the level of the channel signal in each mix. Turn fully anticlockwise to turn the signal off, fully clockwise for a maximum +6dB boost. Note that Auxes 3-4 and 5-6 are fed as a stereo pair from the stereo channels. Adjust the two related level controls when feeding the mono channel to a stereo aux. With the switch in the up position the post-fader channel signal is routed. Set the switch to POST to send to external effects devices such as reverb processors. The processed (wet) signal returned to the mix elsewhere is therefore in proportion to the direct (dry) routed signal regardless of fader position. Postfade sends are also used to provide zone or recording feeds where the outputs should follow the fader movements. Set the switch to PRE to send to monitors such as stage or remote foldback or recording cue. The amount of signal in the monitor mix is independent of the fader movements. [. . . ] Crossfader The new high grade Penny & Giles fader is fitted instead of the original Alps version. Headphones Socket The front panel socket has been moved from the top to lower right. 34 XONE:464 User Guide Tips and Troubleshooting ?Check that the rear panel +48V switches are selected only for microphones that require phantom powering. Do not connect unbalanced sources or cables to the XLR inputs when phantom power is selected. [. . . ]
