Introducing Fender Professional Sound Equipment • The classic sound, look and feel of a Stratocaster, the "punch" of a Twin Reverb. The advanced technology of a Chroma synthesizer, the unmistakable tone of a Rhodes piano - just some of the reasons why you trust us with your music. But your music doesn't stop with a Rhodes or a Stratocaster. It gets mixed, equalized, enhanced and amplified long before it reaches your audience! And with all that going on, your sound equipment is as important as your musical instrument. That's why we build Fender Pro Sound Equipment. We help you perform your music; now we'll deliver it to your audience! And we'll do it in a way that reinforces your performance and lets your sound become a creative part of your music. You'd expect as much from Fender. After all, you trust us with your music. And now, it's good to know you can trust us with your sound! How to Use This Manual As a Self-Teaching Guide Section II is a self-teaching guide to your 3000 Series Fender Mixer. It takes you through the controls and switches on your 3000 Mixer, one by one, and explains not only their operation, but describes artistic ways you can use these controls. The Exercises suggested in the Self-Teaching Guide allow you to actually try out each control in a way that simulates an actual live performance. The Self-Teaching Guide is detailed and assumes little prior knowledge on the part of the reader. If you find that you already understand much of what is explained in the SelfTeaching Guide, you may be able to skip the sections entitled "An Exercise" and concentrate on the sections entitled "Block Diagram Closeup," "Differences" and the various sections that deal with applications of each control and switch. As a Reference Guide Once you are familiar with the basic operation of your 3000 Mixer, you may wish to refer every now and then to the Specifications section and to the Block Diagram for your 3000 Mixer. Both of these sections are located near the front of this manual. If you would like a quick review of the operation of a particular control or switch, find its page number in the Contents for Section II, and review the "Block Diagram Closeup" (or other sections as you wish) for that control or switch. As a Sound System Reference While the bulk of the material in this manual covers topics directly related to your 3000 Mixer and to mixing in general, Section III, "Special Connections, Biamplification and Other Topics," contains useful information on other topics (not directly related to mixing) - topics like "Impedance and Level Watching" (yes, "watching," not "matching!") and "Grounding and Shielding." Also, some parts of Section II contain useful information about sound systems and mixing in general. Browse through the Contents to find topics that interest you. Section IV, "Examples of Systems Using the Fender 3000 Mixers," shows such typical applications as portable entertainment systems and instrument mixing systems (keyboard mixing, for example). This section should help trigger your own ideas about the virtually limitless uses for your 3000 Mixer. •
