[. . . ] SX3242FX/SX2442FX User Manual A50-81233-00001 EURODESK EURODESK SX3242FX/SX2442FX Important Safety Instructions 9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. 10) Place the power cord so that it is protected from being walked on and sharp edges. Be sure that the power cord is protected particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where it exits from the apparatus. [. . . ] (31) Use the LOW PASS FILTER switch to activate the filter function (LED illuminates). Fig. 2. 15: Main out connectors and main insert (35) The MAIN OUT 1/4" TRS connectors outputs also provide the main mix signal. (36) Like the channel inserts, the MAIN INSERT connectors can be used to connect a dynamics processor or equalizer for further processing of the mix signal. The MAIN INSERT refers to the Main Outs (XLR and 1/4" TRS connectors), the MONO OUT (see (32)) and, if the MAIN switch in the PHONES/CONTROL ROOM section is pressed, also to the PHONES/CTRL ROOM output (see (46)). Fig. 2. 12: Mono out connector (32) The MONO OUT connector provides the line-level mono signal for connection to the inputs of a power amp or active speaker. In this case, the signal should of course not be limited by the low-pass filter. Fig. 2. 16: Level meter 8 Control elements and connections EURODESK SX3242FX/SX2442FX (37) The red "+48 V" LED illuminates when phantom power is on. Phantom power is required for the operation of condenser microphones, and can be switched on with the corresponding switch on the rear of the console. (39) The high-precision level meter accurately indicates the output signal level. For example, when you press the SOLO switch on one of the input channels, its signal level will be displayed here, either pre-fader (PFL) or post-fader (SOLO), depending on the position of the SOLO/PFL switch (see (40)). In PFL mode only the left display is active, because the PFL signals are mono. (40) The SOLO/PFL switch determines whether the monitored signal is pre (PFL) or post-fader (SOLO) after pressing the SOLO/PFL switch (the LED illuminates). When you adjust a signal with the TRIM control, it is advisable to select PFL mode, so that the level shown is independent of the channel fader position. High volume levels may damage your hearing and/or your headphones/loudspeakers. To avoid switch-on/off thumps from the console and any downstream devices, always make sure that the power amp(s) or active speaker(s) are the last components that are switched on and the first to be switched off. Always make sure that the appropriate volume is set. 2. 7 CD/tape Fig. 2. 20: CD/tape (47) TO MAIN controls the volume of, for example, a CD player connected to the CD/tape input connectors (see (49)). (48) When the STANDBY switch is pressed, all input channels are muted. In this way, you can prevent the microphones from pickung up unwanted sounds or noise that would interfere with CD playback during a break. The main mix and channel faders can remain in their normal positions while playing back music from CD (using the CD/TAPE INPUTs (49)), so you don't lose your mix. 2. 6. 1 Talkback The talkback function of the EURODESK allows you to communicate with the musicians in the recording room or on the stage. The talkback signal is present at the AUX SEND outputs, which are particularly useful for monitor/headphone mixes. Fig. 2. 17: Talkback section (41) The LEVEL control determines the volume of the talkback signal at the AUX 1/2 outputs.
