5. The Phones/Control Room level controls the headphone amplifier gain. The Phones/ControlRoom Assign-switches allow the user to select channels 1 - 4, or stereo channel 5/6, orstereo channel 7/8, or any combination, or all three selections and send the audio signal tothe Phones/Control Room level control. This feature allows the user to monitor the separatechannel audio signals, and listen to the sound quality of individual musical instruments, orpress all three Control Room Assign-switches down and use the Phones/Control Room out-put to feed a control room monitor, or an amplifier to loudspeakers located in another room(another audio zone). To "cue" an audio track before playing the music through the mixer,turn down the Channel Level to 0 and plug your headphones into the phone jack on yoursource audio equipment. When you have found the starting point of your music passage,pause the player, return the Channel Level to the original turned-up setting and press play onthe source equipment at the appropriate time.If you are sending the PHONES/CTRL ROOM signal to another piece of audio equipment, usea TRS cable (in this case to be used as a stereo cable), as the left and right channel signalsare present in the PHONES/CTRL ROOM jack. If a mono cable is used, the left channel signalwill get shorted to ground by the mono cable inside the jack. This could result in the head-phone amplifier becoming hot and the right channel audio signal becoming distorted.Level MetersThese meters indicate the Left and Right Main busaudio levels. If either or both of the +3dB amp cliplights at the top of the level meters are flashingTOO MUCH of the time, lower the Main Level controlto avoid possible distortion on peaks.Amplifier Inputs L & RThese are switching jacks that enable you to directlyaccess either or both channels of the built-in poweramplifier while disconnecting the normally connectedsource the Main EQUALIZER. This permits you toinsert an external-EQ, a processor /crossover (e.g.élite) or a compressor/limiter between the mixer sec-tion's Main OUTPUTS and the AMP 1 & AMP 2 INPUTSthus providing the 100% signal processing.Power AmplifierThe M8 has a built-in 170-watt stereo power amplifier.Each channel has an input sensitivity of +4dBv (1.4volts RMS) for full-power output and each can deliverover 85 watts into a 4-ohm speaker load. These ampli-fiers incorporate computer designed internal heatsinksand a variable-speed fan which automatically providesquiet operation consistent with cooling requirements.Cool air is drawn into the front of the mixer, and heat-ed air is expelled out of the back. Even at maximumpower, this arrangement results in quiet, dependableperformance.PLEASE NOTE: The air vents at the front and rear of the mixer are essential forproper operation . Blocking the free flow of air through the mixer will result in sys-tem shutdown due to overheating. Repeated overheating may eventually causedamage. Please keep the vents free of obstructions.6P O W E RO NTYPE: YS1024FUSE: T3.15A1b585 WATTSMIN 4-OHMSPER CHANNELSPEAKER OUTPUTSDesigned & Manufactured byYORKVILLE SOUND • TORONTO, CANADA100V-240V50/60Hz200VAAMPLIFIERINPUTCAUTION: REPLACE WITHSAME TYPE FUSE AND RATINGATTENTION: UTILISER UN FUSIBLE DERECHANGE DE MEME TYPE ET CALIBRECHANNELS1-45/67/8PHONES /CTRL ROOMASSIGNLEVEL4 5 6738291100P O W E RO NAMPLIFIERINPUTMain Out on M8Extrenal Effects UnitAmp In on M8MAIN OUTRECORD OUT AUX RTN
