User manual SOUNDCRAFT SPIRIT POWERSTATION 600

[. . . ] For your own safety and to avoid invalidation of the warranty, please read this section carefully!IMPORTANT Please read this manual carefully before connecting your Mixer to the mains for the first time. End User means the person who first puts the equipment into regular operation. Dealer means the person other than Soundcraft (if any) from whom the End User purchased the Equipment, provided such a person is authorised for this purpose by Soundcraft or its accredited Distributor. [. . . ] This knob allows you to match the input level to suit a wide variety of professional, semi-professional and hi-fi sources. Start with a low setting, especially for professional equipment, and increase it if you cannot reach an adequate signal level with the fader at the nominal `0 mark. Turning to the left cuts the same frequencies, reducing hiss or excessive brilliance. Turning to the left can be helpful to reduce hum or boominess or to improve a mushy sound. These are used to set up separate mono mixes for FOLDBACK, EFFECTS or recording, and the combination of each Aux Send is mixed to the respective Aux Output at the rear of the mixer. This is a useful way of listening to the Return for making adjustments or tracing problems. This switch routes the 2 Track Return to Mix L/R, and provides a very simple method of feeding an external source (e. 2TRK TO MIX should not be used when recording from the REC O/P sockets, as there is the possibility of serious feedback. This LED illuminates when any PFL switch is pressed to warn that the headphones and meters are now monitoring the PFL signal instead of the Mix. The controller provides a wide range of echo, reverb and acoustic treatments to add fullness to the sound, complement room acoustics or for specific effects. The input level to the integral Effects Controller from the mixer is set by the INPUT TRIM control, with an associated LED to warn of levels high enough to cause clipping at the input of the Effects. The control should where possible be kept in the centre detent position to minimise noise, and if a setting over 0 is required this would indicate that the input is not being driven hard enough from the LEX FX channel sends. This rotary switch allows any one of 16 factory-programmed effect combinations to be selected, as listed on the panel legend below the controls. These factory presets have been carefully selected and should be suitable for most applications. Two effects Parameters may be adjusted and saved in the onboard RAM for each of the pre-programmed effects, using the encoder knob and the two PARAMeter switches. The best setting for a particular application will be found by experimentation and careful listening to the final sound. Adjustments are made with the encoder knob while pressing and holding the required PARAM switch, listening to the result. as soon as the PARAM switch is released the setting will be held in internal flash RAM memory. Any alterations to the pre-programmed settings are retained, even if the mixer is turned off, and will be recalled the next time that the particular program is selected. If these settings differ from the original default settings the USER MODE LED illuminates. Factory default settings may be restored by pressing and holding both PARAM switches until the USER MODE LED goes out. The Effects may be turned ON or OFF remotely by connecting a standard latching or non-latching guitar foot-switch, or similar unit providing an isolated switch closure, to the rear panel Lexicon Foot Switch jack socket as shown. [. . . ] L Release the PFL button l Repeat this procedure on other channels as required. As more channels are added to the mix, the meters may move into the red section. If you cannot achieve satisfactory input level setting without feedback, check microphone and speaker placement and repeat the exercise. Once individual input channel settings are complete, release the Monitor Source switch to select the Main mix. [. . . ]
