AVIS: POUR EVITER LES RISQUES D'INCENDIE OU D'ELECTROCUTION, N'EXPOSEZ PAS CET ARTICLE A LA PLUIE OU A L'HUMIDITE The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is 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. Le symbole éclair avec point de flèche à l'intérieur d'un triangle équilatéral est utilisé pour alerter l'utilisateur de la présence à l'intérieur du coffret de "voltage dangereux" non isolé d'ampleur suffisante pour constituer un risque d'éléctrocution. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. [. . . ] This is useful if the signal is too strong, and the processor becomes overloaded. If you see the FX OL overload light come on, turn down the knob until it just turns off during the louder passages, riffs, chords, yells, etc. SUB ASSIGN TO MAIN MIX 51 SUB 1 SUB 2 SUB 3 SUB 4 MAIN MIX 37. FX BYPASS and LED Press this switch in to bypass the internal effects processor, and so prevent its output from appearing on the main mix or stage monitors. Use BYPASS if you are not using the internal effects, as it will reduce any extraneous interstellar noise, or use it to quickly compare between the effective effect of effects and the effect of no effects. 50 52 14 38. USB OUTPUT: MAIN MIX/SUBS 1-2 This switch allows you to choose if the main mix or if subgroups 1 and 2, are sent out of the mixer's USB (62) output to your computer. If pressed in, the A/D converters of the USB section receive the output from subgroups 1 and 2 (before the SUB FADERS (50)). This is a good position for studio recording and overdubbing with your computer. If pressed out, the A/D converters receive the main mix (after the MAIN MIX FADER (52)), just the same program as your main speakers and tape deck will receive. This is a good position for recording the main performance onto your computer. Further details of the USB connections and operation are described on page 19. Push SUBS 1-2 to hear subgroup 1 and 2 outputs. Note: If any channel has its SOLO (18) switch in, then only the SOLOed channels are heard in the control room or headphones. 43. AUX 1 (MON) MASTER SEND This knob is the master level control of the AUX SEND 1 MON (22) output jack. Adjust this knob to control the overall level of your stage monitor mix. 44. AUX 2 (FX) MASTER SEND This knob is the master level control of the AUX SEND 2 FX (23) output jack. Adjust this knob to control the level sent to your external processors. 45. FX RETURN TO AUX 1 MON This knob allows you to adjust the level of the effects going onto the AUX 1 MON bus and out to your stage monitors. Signals (from external processors) coming into the AUX FX RETURN (24) jacks, and the internal effects processor output (unless bypassed), are summed to mono and added to the AUX 1 Monitor bus through this level control. The control ranges from minimum fully counterclockwise, to unity gain at the center, to +15 dB fully clockwise. 39. USB OUTPUT LEVEL and OL LED The USB section has an A/D converter which converts the selected analog channels into a digital stream. This knob allows you to adjust the signal level before it reaches the A/D converters. Like all OL overload LEDs, this is an important one to keep an eye on, so the outputs to your computer are not distorted. 40. PHONES This adjusts the headphone levels without disturbing the main mix or control room levels. [. . . ] Unauthorized service, repairs, or modification will void this warranty.
