Master Section. Each channel can be assigned to the 1-

2, 3-4, and L-R Faders in stereo pairs. This feature allows

the operator to group certain channels (such as the chan-

nels used to mic an entire drum kit) and assign them to

one pair of the master faders in the 1-2, 3-4 sub group.

This sub-mixing feature decreases the number of channel

faders that need to be adjusted.

16. AUDIO TAPER FADERS

Slide all faders down when connecting your inputs.

Increase each channels fader to achieve the overall mix.

Calibrated 60mm faders with audio taper are featured for

smooth fade-outs.

MASTER SECTION

17. GROUPS 1 - 4

Once a channel has been assigned to one of the 4 groups

(see 15), 60mm faders control the level of each group.

The 4 output connections (see 38) are the output of these

4 faders. By assigning the 4 faders to the L & R faders

and/or the Center fader the operator can use the 4 groups

as sub-mixes. Each fader has assignment switches and a

sub-mix pan control for L-R assignments.

18. MASTER LEFT & RIGHT FADERS

These faders send the main stereo mix from all channels and

GROUPS assigned to the L-R Faders. This mix is then rout-

ed to the main balanced and unbalanced output connectors

(see 37). The left and right signals will be identical if all pan

controls are set to their center positions.

19. CENTER FADER

The Center fader gets its signal only from the center

assignment switches on the 4 groups and L-R. The Center

channel is great for a third main mix, a subwoofer out or

in the case of a main mono mix, group 1-4 and L-R creates

a 6 buss console.

20. CONTROL ROOM SELECTION SWITCHES

Use these switches to select what is heard through the

headphones and control room jacks. Select LEFT-RIGHT,

CENTER, GROUP 1-2 or GROUP 3-4

21. PFL RED LED

Indicates that the headphone, control room, and meters

are monitoring the channels where the PFL is switched on.

22. L-R SUB TO CENTER SWITCHES

Assignes the LEFT-RIGHT mix to the CENTER Fader.

23. PHONES CONTROL

The PHONES control sets the desired level of the PHONES

jack for monitoring through headphones.

24. CONTROL ROOM

The CONTROL ROOM knob adjusts the level of CONTROL

ROOM output jack for monitoring.

25. L-R LED VU METERS

This group of LEDs are ten segment 6 dB resolution meters

that give the operator the mixer output from 30mv to 15.8vac.

26. AUX SENDS

These are the Master Sends for AUX 1-6. Each has its own

PFL switch to assist in adjusting the send level.

27. CONTROL ROOM LISTEN

These 5 switches function just like the Control Room

Selection Switches (see 20) providing a stereo listen for

the 4 returns and Tape In.

28. POWER LED Verifies the mixer is on.

29. PHONES JACK

1/4” stereo jack for headphone or control room output.

30. TAPE IN TO L-R SWITCH

This switch assigns the source coming from the RCA TA P E

I N connections to the L-R mix.

31. TAPE IN CONTROL

This adjusts the level of the source coming from TAPE IN.

32. CONTROL ROOM JACK

This 1/4” stereo connection is for headphones or connecting

a control room power amp & studio reference monitors.

33. TAPE OUT SOURCE

This switch changes the tape out source from L-R to AUX

3-4. This is a great feature for 2 track live recording where

a different mix is needed

from the L-R house mix

34. STEREO RETURNS

Each return contains a mas-

ter level for the L-R mix and a

master level for the A U X

(monitor mix) with RETURN 1

& 2 going to AUX 1, and 3 &

4 going to AUX 2.

35. TAPE IN-OUT

Stereo RCA jacks for con-

necting a tape recorder or CD

player.

36. CENTER

XLR balanced output from

the CENTER fader.

37. LEFT / RIGHT XLR &

1/4” CONNECTORS

This set of balanced and

unbalanced connectors are

for connecting the main mix

to external power amp(s).

38. 1/4” GROUP OUT-

PUT CONNECTORS

1 through 4 offer output of

each individual G R O U P f a d e r

for use in multitrack recording

or connecting additional power

amps for stage monitors or

main house speakers.

39. AUX SENDS

Six 1/4” output connectors

drive external effects. Or, use

these sends to drive additional

power amps for stage moni-

tors. The C 2 4 4 0 provides bal-

anced 1/4” outputs for long

cable runs on AUX SENDS

1 & 2.

40. AUX RETURNS

Four 1/4” stereo pairs (8

inputs) to return external

effects in stereo.

42. MIC PHANTOM

POWER SWITCH / RED

L E D

This switch provides phantom

power for condenser mics in

groups of 8 channels. This

allows other channel groups

to remain non-powered to use the LINE inputs for instru-

ments and MIC inputs for mics that don’t require phantom

p o w e r. The groups reduces noise and wasted power.
