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. [. . . ] CAUTION: When using a stereo channel as an aux return, TURN THE AUX SEND CONTROL ALL THE WAY DOWN on that channel. If you have the Aux Send control turned up even a little, it can create a feedback loop. This would be very bad for your speakers and for your ears. 1 U 12. LEVEL EQ HIGH 12kH 12kHz 5 -15 U +15 6 -15 U MID 2. 5kHz 2. 5kH +15 +1 7 -15 +15 LOW 80Hz 80H AUX U SEND 10 +15 PAN 11 PEAK PEA 4 L U R LEVEL This is the master level control for the channel's signal. Subtle adjustment of the channels' level control is the key to a finely-tuned mix. Typically (providing the GAIN is set correctly), this will be positioned somewhere between 0 dB (U) and the 3 o'clock position. If you have the LEVEL set all the way up, it's usually a sign that your GAIN is set too low. Note: If this were a slide control instead of a rotary one, it would be called a fader. It still serves as the reference point when talking about prefader and post-fader. TAPE SECTION 14. CD/TAPE INPUTS This is where you connect the outputs of your intermission entertainment. Any line-level mono or stereo device can be used, such as: tape, DVD/CD player, television audio, etc. Signals coming into these inputs are routed directly to the main mix when the TAPE TO MIX (15) switch is pushed in. The signals can also be routed to 12 +15 Mix. 60 Mono Channel 10 the CONTROL ROOM/PHONES (25/28) outputs when the TAPE TO CTRL RM/PHONES (16) switch is pushed in (TAPE TO PHONES only on the Mix. 50). When connecting a mono device (just one cord), you'll need a "Y-splitter" RCA adapter. It turns a mono output cord into two cords, so both the right and left tape input jacks can be used. Note: There is a chance of feedback if you have the tape inputs and outputs connected to the same recorder, and the recorder is in record mode. 16. TAPE TO CTRL RM/PHONES Switch (TAPE TO PHONES on Mix. 50) Use this switch to select the signal source for the CONTROL ROOM outputs, PHONES, and METERS. When the switch is up, they all receive the main mix signal tapped after the MAIN MIX control. When the switch is pushed in, they all receive the CD/TAPE Input signal. Turn down the CTRL ROOM/ PHONES (21) control (just PHONES on the Mix. 50) before engaging. 17. FX TO CTRL ROOM Switch (Mix. 100/Mix. 120 only) Push this switch to monitor the aux send signal in the Control Room and Phones outputs. This overides the TAPE TO CTRL RM/PHONES switch and replaces whatever signal is present at the Control Room and Phones outputs with the aux send signal. 15.
