User manual PEAVEY RQ 1606M

[. . . ] Intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. WARNING: To prevent electrical shock or fire hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture. Before using this appliance, read the operating guide for further warnings. RQTM1606M Monitor Console GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The RQTM 1606M compact mixer was designed to be used as a monitor console in sound reinforcement applications; it will complement any house console by expanding its monitor capabilities. [. . . ] The signals that are present in the PFL mix can be seen by the individual PFL LEDs. This jack also has the same phantom power that the other connector has, so use caution when connecting other equipment that could be damaged by 48 V DC. Because of the wide range of gain adjustment, signal levels up to +32 dBu (with pad engaged) can be accommodated. This will increase the dynamic range to accommodate a higher input level before clipping, which may be necessary when close miking loud guitar amplifiers or drum kits. INSERT (CHANNEL 1-8): 1/4" stereo (TRS) jack which allows an external device (such as a compressor or graphic EQ) to be inserted into the signal path before the tone equalization. By inserting a jack only to the first click (so that the internal switch is not engaged), a preamp direct output is available without affecting the channel's normal operation. The tip is the positive input, which should also be used for unbalanced inputs. This input is connected to the mic input (#30) and changes the circuit's input impedance (including the XLR) when a jack is connected. It has the same gain as the XLR input, but does not have phantom power available. The output level is set by the individual channel monitor send controls and by the master monitor fader. It can be used to expand the mixer by connecting another source (mixer or other device) here to add to the monitor's mix. MONITOR INSERT: 1/4" stereo (TRS) jack which allows an external device (such as a compressor or graphic EQ) to be inserted into the monitor's signal path. The signal is exactly the same as that in the headphones, but has other features. When the talkback mic is active, these outputs are diminished to prevent local feedback. If there is no plug connected into the right output jack, the left and right wedge signals are summed to mono. Wedge levels are set by the wedge control, and are independent from the headphone levels. PFL LINK: This is a port that makes it possible to parallel two RQ 1606M mixers, increasing the number of inputs. A shielded stereo (TRS) cord connected between them will cause the two mixer's PFL circuits to merge. Then any PFL switch pressed will take over the right meter of the unit supplying the signal and change the headphone/wedge source on both units. AC MAINS INPUT: Connect the line cord to this connector to provide power to the unit. If phantom power is required, use the power provided by the house console unless it is not available. this will provide the best performance and cause the fewest problems.
