Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. 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. [. . . ] Soloed channels are sent to the source mix, which ultimately feeds your control room, phones, and meters. Whenever solo is engaged, all source selections (main mix, tape, and FireWire) are defeated, to allow the soloed signal to do just that--solo!Dear Betty, All this talk of solo reminded me of how happy we could be together. Let us be married this afternoon, in the bass amp section of the guitar store where we met!No longer will I be that guy at the company party who talks about EQ all evening. No longer will I spend my time in music stores telling everyone that "I wrote the manual for that!" Let me be your main mix! 41. SOLO Whenever a solo switch is engaged, you will only hear the soloed channel(s) in the headphones and control room. This gives you the opportunity to audition the channels before they are added to the main mix. When a channel is soloed, you can adjust the channel gain [26] until your input source reaches the level of the 0 dB LED of the right meter. 18 Onyx 1640i R 16 LINE FW 16 42. HEADPHONE OUTPUT This 1/4" TRS connector supplies the output to your stereo headphones. It is the same signal that is routed to the control room outputs [16], as determined by the control room/phones source matrix [44, 45]. The volume is controlled with the phones knob [48], right next to the control room knob [47]. Whenever a solo switch [41] is engaged, you will only hear the soloed channel(s) in the headphones. This gives you the opportunity to audition the channels before they are added to the main mix. (Solo signals reaching the headphones are not affected by the channel level or main level, therefore turn down the phones level first, as soloed channels may be loud. ) The phones output follows standard conventions: 75Hz 18dB/OCT PREMIUM ANALOG MIXER w/ PERKINS EQ & FIREWIRE 30 GAIN 40 60 42 43 LAMP 12V 0. 5A B +40dB D PRE POST CTRL ROOM/PHONES SOURCE 0dB=0dBu L 20 15 R CLIP U HIGH 12kHz 44 MAIN MIX TAPE +15 2k FREQ 45 46 10 6 3 49 Tip = Left channel Ring = Right channel Sleeve=Commonground WARNING: The headphone amp is loud, and can cause permanent hearing damage.
