EFX2 / MON2This auxiliary send may be used either as a second send to an effects device such as a digitalreverb or as a second monitor send.• When the master EFX2 / MON2 switch is set to the EFX2 position (disengaged) the signal will betaken after the EQ and master fader which is ideal for feeding an effects device.• When the master EFX2 / MON2 switch is set to MON2 position (depressed) the signal will betaken before the EQ and master fader which is ideal for feeding a stage monitor system.• If a stereo source is connected to the channel, the left and the right signals will be summed andsent to the stage monitors or effects processor.EFXThe EFX (effects) send is what you will use to feed an external effects device. It is always POST-FADE, POST-EQ. If a stereo source is connected to the channel, the left and the right signals will besummed and sent to the effects processor.BALANCEThis control sets the amount of the channel signal feeding the Left and Right main outputs, allow-ing you to balance the source in the stereo image. When the control is turned fully right or left youfeed only that side of the signal to the mix.ONSame as mono channels.FADERSame as mono channels.LISTENThe LISTEN function on the stereo channels is identical do that on the mono channels except thatboth the left and right inputs are summed to mono in the LISTEN system.Master Section48V Phantom PowerMany professional condenser microphones need an external powering voltage, also known asPHANTOM POWER. This is a method of sending a powering voltage down the same wires as themic signal. Press the switch to supply the 48V Phantom Power to all of the MIC inputs. The adja-cent LED illuminates when the power is active. Note that mics designed to work with lower phan-tom voltages will work fine with 48V Phantom Power.DO NOT CONNECT UNBALANCED SOURCES TO THE XLR INPUTS with 48V Phantom Powerswitched on as the phantom power voltage may damage them. Balanced dynamic mics cannormally be used with 48V Phantom Power switched on (contact your microphone manufac-turer for guidance).Mics should always be plugged in, and all output faders set to minimum before switching 48VPhantom Power ON to avoid damage to external equipment.POWER INDICATORThis LED illuminates to show when power is connected to the console.BAR GRAPH METERSThe 3-color peak reading BAR GRAPH METERS normally follow the Monitor selection to show:• The level of the MIX RIGHT and MIX LEFT outputs or…• The TAPE/CD IN input if the TAPE/CD TO MIX switch is pressed or…• When any LISTEN switch is pressed, the meters switch to show the selected LISTEN signal onboth meters, in mono.In typical operation, keep the average signal level around the 0 level with peaks going into theamber section (see “Set Up and Gain Structuring”).18
