of each input. The starting point for these confrols is in the centre position. The main purpose of Equalization is to improve the sound, so feel free to experiment. The AIIX l, A{IX 2 and AtX 3 confiols are only needed when using effects (reverb, digital delay etc), or when using a foldback (monitor) system. Please see the separate section on Auxiliaries. The PAN contol is similar to the balance control on a home stereo.
To connect a foldback system, run a lead from the AIIX 1 output to the line input of you power amplifier. As a starting point set the Aux I master in the centre position and slowly raise the Aux I control on the channel that you are using. Adjust the Aux I for each channel that is required for foldback so that you have a suitable mix ofall the channels in the foldback speakers.
The monitor outputs would normally be used to feed another audio source such as a a house PA system, or to nrn to a tape recorder. Please note that the monitor level is varied by both the charurel and master sliders. For foldback, it is best to use the ALIX I send, urs this provides a control on each channel, and allows you to set the levels pre-fader. Please see the Auxiliaries section. Phantom Power is needed when using electret/condenser microphones.
