Master Section
20. Record Outputs
These unbalanced RCA outputs are pre-EQ, pre-Speaker Processor and post-faders (L&R),
as well as post-effects.
The Record output signal consists of the L&R level (including effects) from the L&R
masters. The signal is pre-graphic-EQ and speaker processor. This way, you can
EQ the speaker system without those EQ adjustments being present on the Record
output signals. As the panel artwork indicates, optimum level for recording is 0 dB
(average) on the VU-Meters. For more information on setting gain levels for 0 dB, see
under 18. Solo Switch.
21. Efx 2 and Aux Send Jacks
These jacks carry the dry, mono output of the Efx 2 and Aux summing stages and are con-
trolled by their Send masters (and are TRS balanced).
You can connect either or both of these outputs to the inputs of an external effects
processors. Alternately, either may be used as an audio output, perhaps to another
P.A. system, recording (mono) or broadcast mixer. Just remember that the channel
Efx 2 and Aux send controls are post-fader, in other words their send signal levels are
affected by the channel faders.
The Efx 2 and Aux Send jack signals are dry; they are not affected by the L/R graphic-
EQ and have no internal effects. They are balanced connectors, but will work with either
balanced or unbalanced cables. However, for optimum quiet performance, use balanced
patch cords whenever possible.
22. Mon 1 and 2, Efx 1 and 2, Aux Send Masters, Solos and Clip LEDs
Each master regulates the output levels of its gain stage. Each stage also has a Clip
LED and, with the exception of the Efx 1, Efx 2 and Aux busses, a Solo button and LED.
Output signals are available at the applicable Send jacks except for Efx 1, which is inter-
nally routed to the input of built-in effects processor.
Adjust these sends for maximum level at the input of the connected (or internal) units
without clipping. If clipping is indicated on a Send LED, reduce that master’s level. The
same action should be taken if clipping is indicated on the input of anything connected
to the Send jacks or on the Efx 1 Return Levels channel.
The Solo features allow you to listen (to each Master Send) through headphones.
The LED indicates that the signal is being summed into the solo (AFL and PFL busses).
Remember to turn Solos off when you are done listening to them.
23. Efx 2 and Aux Return Jacks
These are the inputs to the Efx 2 and Aux Return master sections. The L/Mono Aux Return
jacks are patched internally to the Right Return jacks which are switching jacks that
interrupt the patch when a jack is Inserted. Both returns are TRS balanced.
