Channel Controls 1. Pan - Controls relative level of input channel in Left and Right program mixes. To route the signal to both channels equally, leave this in the center. In Main/Monitor mode, only the line level L/R outputs will be affected. 2. Level - Controls the level of input channel sent to the Left and Right Program mixes; or if in Main/Monitor mode, controls the level sent to the Main program mix. 3. DFX - Adjusts the amount of signal level from the channel sent to the effects mix. 4. Monitor - Controls the level of input channel sent to the monitor mix. 5. Low - Bass tone control +/- 15 dB shelving at 80 Hz. 6. Mid - Midrange tone control +/- 12 dB boost/cut at 2.5kHz. 7. High - High tone control +/- 15 dB shelving at 8kHz. 8. Pad - Input channel pre-amp gain. Set to -20 dB for hot inputs that cause distortion. 9. Line Input - 1/4 inch TRS, suited for use with line level inputs such as high impedance microphones, keyboards, drum machines, outboard effects etc. This input accepts both balanced and unbalanced cables. 10. Mic Input - The 3 pin XLR balanced female connector is intended for low impedance microphones. Pins 2 and 3 provide phantom power for condenser microphones. Warning: connect only one device to each channel-do not use both line and mic inputs at the same time. Digital Effects 11. DSP Peak LED - The DSP peak indicator lights when the DSP circuit is clipping (distorting). If distortion is heard while this LED is lit, reduce the channel effects levels until the indicator goes dark. Increase DFX master to compensate. Controls 7 12. Program - This knob selects a preset from the list of effects to the right. 13. Effects On/Off - This switch turns on or off the internal DSP. Main Section 14. Master Graphic Equalizers - These 7 band equalizers consist of active band pass / reject filters spaced evenly across the audio range. Moving the sliders up and down boosts or cuts the gain up to 12 dB at the indicated frequency. 15. Amp Protection LEDs - These LEDs signify the protection circuit is active for the indicated amplifier; this may be due to a short circuit at the speaker terminals, or a high heatsink temperature. If lit, check speaker connections for a short circuit, or reduce master volume. 16. Level Indicators - These indicators show the overall level being output to the Left / Monitor or Right/Main master mixes. If the top, red LED is flashing, reduce the corresponding master volume to prevent possible damage to your speakers. 17. Left Master Volume - Adjusts the overall volume level for the left program mix. 18. Right Master Volume - Adjusts the overall volume level for the right program mix. 19. Meter Mode - This switch determines which mix is being monitored by the level indicators. www.f e n d e r.com ✧ www. m r g e a r h e a d .net
