[. . . ] When the level becomes too high for the A/D convertor, the indicator will illuminate and the audio sound will become distorted. If this occurs, back-off the [LEVEL] control until the [CLIP] indicator is not illuminated. RETURN -SELECT This control selects the point at which the returning effects are re-introduced. There are three "patch" points to choose from, as detailed below: 1. CHANNEL 1 -The return signal will be routed directly to the CH1 bus (pre-channel volume fader). MASTER -The return signal will be routed directly to the Master bus (pre-master volume fader). CHANNEL 2 -The return signal will be routed directly to the CH2 bus (pre-channel volume fader). NOTE: When SEND [SELECT] is set to [MASTER], all three return settings will automatically be set to MASTER to prevent feedback loops occurring. NOTE: the [FX] switch must be turned ON to input the signal. FX ON/OFF SWITCH The performance "paddle" type FX switch controls the ON/OFF status of the external effects. You can use the momentary ON position to flick-in effects "on-the-fly" or use the locked-ON position for more sustained periods of externally processed sound. When the [FX] switch is in the centre "OFF" position there will be no return from the connected effects device. When the [FX] switch is in the forward LOCK-ON position, the sound, as set by the RETURN [SELECT] control, will be returned from the connected effects device. The indicator stays on in this mode to show that FX return is activated. When the [FX] switch is pulled and held back to the "ON" position the sound, as set by the RETURN [SELECT] control, will be returned from the connected effects device. The indicator stays on in this mode to show that the FX return is activated. When the switch is released, it will automatically return to the centre "OFF" position. FX SEND/RETURN RE-CONFIGURATION If you want to use the return as a 4th line level input, the configuration must be changed each time power is switched on. With power turned OFF, pull and hold back the [FX] paddle switch (momentary ON position). Turn the power ON at the mains plug and then after a few seconds release the [FX] paddle switch. The return input is now constantly active whilst the [FX] paddle switch controls the send signal. NOTE: This special configuration setting is lost when power is turned off. If you want to use the return as a 4th line level input, always remember to hold the [FX] switch to ON before turning on the power. 25 MASTER / BOOTH OUTPUT This section of the mixer features controls and indications for the master and booth outputs. MASTER LEVEL This control adjusts the level of the master output volume on both the balanced and unbalanced outputs. 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. OUTPUT PROTECTION LIMITER The output protection limiter protects the main and headphone outputs from clipping. [. . . ] 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. [. . . ]
