B) REVERB: Turn SELECT for the amount of presence (high frequencies) in the reverb. Now turn the PARAMETER control to change the reverb decay time. C) CHORUS: Turn SELECT for the amount of reverb with your chorus. Now turn the PARAMETER control to change the chorus depth. D) FLANGE: Turn SELECT for your speed (phasing effect). Now turn the PARAMETER control to change the flange depth. 21. EFFECTS PEAK LED's The PK LEDs indicate that the signal level to the processor is too high. To prevent distortion, turn the EFF 1 & 2 control towards the center (off) position until the PK LED stops flashing. 22. MAIN EFFECTS CONTROL The MAIN EFFECTS level controls the amount of the effects that go to your MAIN L/R outputs. 23. MONITOR EFFECTS LEVEL The MONITOR EFFECTS level controls the amount of the effects that go to your MONITORS. 13 14 26. OUTPUT LED's/AMP "CLIP" LED's The OUTPUT METER LEDs indicate the output levels for each power amp. The yellow "+6" LED indicates the output level is near maximum. The red CLIP LEDs indicate when the power amps are starting to distort (clip). Reduce the MAIN and/or MONITOR master levels to prevent distortion. 27. POWER LED The blue POWER LED indicates the mixer is powered ON. 28. PROTECT LED The mixer will "protect", engaging circuits to mute the speakers if: a) impedance is below minimum on any amp, b) shorted speaker cables, or c) ventilation problems. If the LED comes on, shut the mixer OFF and check for cable problems, minimum impedances and obstructed rear cooling vents. If you encounter an over-heat problem, leave the mixer ON allowing the fan to cool down the internal components. The mixer will auto-reset in about 5 minutes. REAR PANEL AC POWER: The rear panel contains the POWER SWITCH and AC power cable connection. SPEAKER CONNECTIONS: The 3 speaker jacks will accept 1/4" or high-current Speakon™ connectors. Each amp output has a 4 OHM MINIMUM IMPEDANCE. (Maximum one 4ohm or two 8ohm speakers per amp). If using Speakon™ cables, be sure to push the lock back, turning to the right for a secure locked connection. MAKE ALL SPEAKER CONNECTIONS BEFORE TURNING THE 25 MIXER ON. 26 27 28 22 23 21 20 29 24 30 31 12 16 15 17 18 19 24. MUSIC BREAK SWITCH The MUSIC BREAK feature turns off all inputs, except for channel 9/10. This is useful during breaks. This allows pre-recorded music to be played through the TAPE IN jacks. The channel 9/10 MIC/LINE inputs are left active for announcements or solo acts. The remaining input channels (1-8) are turned OFF eliminating feedback or other unwanted sounds from open mics during breaks or changes. The internal effects are also muted. 25. GRAPHIC EQ L/R + MONITOR When the EQ sliders are in their center position, they do not affect the audio signal. When EQ sliders are raised or lowered from this position, they boost or cut a narrow portion of the frequency band. For tone enhancement you may want to raise the 80Hz and 160Hz sliders (for deeper bass) and the 6kHz and 12kHz sliders (for crisper highs) while reducing the 400Hz, 800Hz and 2kHz sliders in a moderate "curve". To help prevent feedback, microphones should be placed behind the main speakers. To reduce feedback in the low frequency range, try lowering one of the 80Hz or 160Hz sliders. High frequency feedback is usually reduced by lowering the 2kHz or 6kHz sliders. 29. USB POWER PORT The USB POWER PORT allows charging of an iPod™/ MP3 player or to power accessories such as LED lighting. Limited to 200mA, which will power several devices. Connect iPod™/ MP3 outputs to TAPE IN. 30. 48V PHANTOM POWER SW/LED The 48V PHANTOM POWER switch turns on the microphone phantom power in the channel XLR jacks. This power is used for supplying a high voltage to condenser microphones. The LED indicates the phantom power is turned on. The phantom power will not damage conventional dynamic microphones. Note: Make sure the phantom power is switched off before connecting or disconnecting microphones to avoid a "pop". 31. EFFECTS FOOT SWITCH JACK The optional FS22 will remotely shut off EFFECTS 1 or 2.
