[. . . ] The red LEDs on the meter will show that the levels are going too high. X-FADER The inputs to the cross-fader are provided by the outputs of the channel 1 and 2 output faders. The X-fader then outputs a mix of these two signals which is dependent on the position of the X-fader and the setting of the X-fader curve control. X-FADER CURVE The x-fader curve control is located on the front panel. The continuously variable cross-fade characteristics are created and controlled by the DSP, which ensures the precision of the cross-fader. At the fully anti-clockwise position the channel level will start to reduce at a linear rate near the cross-fader's centre position. As the curve control is moved in a clockwise direction the channel level will start to reduce more rapidly nearer the opposite channel endstop until, at the fully clockwise position, the channel level will start to reduce dramatically just before the opposite channel end-stop. The X-fader action may also be reversed via the [REV] switch. 27 HEADPHONE MONITOR This section of the mixer features all the headphone monitoring controls which, again, come under the control of the DSP. This allows the inclusion of a special cue EQ control which filters-out unwanted frequencies, letting you tune-in to defined elements within the sound and create a perfect mix. LEVEL This control adjusts the output level to the connected headphones. As the control is moved in a clockwise direction the output level will be gradually increased until, at the fully clockwise position, the output level will be at its maximum. MASTER/CUE SELECT This switch selects the monitor signal source. When the switch is at [MASTER], the monitor output sound will be derived from the master output bus. When the switch is at [CUE], the monitored sound will be derived from the [XF MONITOR]. Note: when this switch is set to [MASTER], the headphones will be post-eq; when it is set to [CUE], the headphones will be post-eq. EQ This control adjusts the tone of the monitored sound, cutting the highs or lows about the centre off position. As the control is moved clockwise the HIGHER frequencies will be progressively cut until, at the fully clockwise position the maximum high frequency cut will be applied (-85dB). As the control is moved anti-clockwise from the centre position the LOWER frequencies will be progressively cut until, at the fully anti-clockwise position the maximum low frequency cut will be applied (-85dB). NOTE: fully clockwise=dark, fully anti-clockwise=bright. HEADPHONE SOCKETS Outputs are provided on 1/4" and 3. 5mm jacks. This is to maximise compatibility with headphones, not to allow two sets of headphones to be used. If two sets of headphones are used the volume of signal in the headphones will be reduced. 28 X-F MONITOR When the [MASTER/CUE SELECT] is set to CUE the [X-F MONITOR] control adjusts the relative mix balance between CH1 and CH2. As the control is moved to the RIGHT CH2 sound will be gradually introduced until, at half-way, CH1 and CH2 sound will be equal. As the control is moved to the RIGHT from the centre position the CH1 sound will gradually reduce until at full RIGHT only CH2 sound will be audible. When the [MASTER/CUE SELECT] is set to MASTER the [X-F MONITOR] control has no function. The signal from main mix will be routed to the headphones. 29 THE BPM FX MODULE OPERATING CRITERIA This product has been designed to operate most effectively with dance music , i. e. However, as the range of pre-recorded dance material is virtually limitless (and the audio mix of individual tracks unknown) we cannot guarantee the performance of 1601E with every style of dance music. 1601E's synchronisation performance may be affected if the beat information is either unavailable or indefinable within the audio track. Please consider this when selecting your audio material. TOP PANEL CONTROLS 1) BANK: (MODE) This rotary switch selects the operating modes. [. . . ] An RIAA pre-amplifier compensates for this by attenuating the high and boosting the low frequencies. The way in which sound reflects and bounces around the room after the source is removed. This depends on the size and shape of the room as well as the materials such as carpets, curtains and clothing that absorb certain frequencies. This is a signal processor that connects to the console to artificially simulate the reverb effect. [. . . ]
