Concept You can send signals to FX using the Aux 1 and Digifx controls on the channels . The Aux 1 master send control adjusts the overall level sent to external FX units via the Aux 1 output socket . Signals from external FX units should be returned by the Stereo auxiliary - a rotary fader is then used to control the level of FX signal sent to masters, enabling a mix to established between FX signal and signal without FX 6 The Digifx control sends signals to the Digifx section.
Concept The Left and Right stereo mix are still available on the line outs should wish to connect additional power amps and speakers. 7 Advanced Set-up's The flexible routing facilities on you Concept 10/16 allow advanced set-ups to be achieved. The line outs/tape outs have a separate level control, this allows a slave amplifier to be connected and its volume level be controlled from the your mixer.

Concept Mic/Line channel 1) MIC INPUT (XLR) The input socket has been designed to accept both balanced and unbalanced signals from microphones with an XLR input connector. Good quality low impedance condenser or dynamic mic's should preferably be used for best effect, these will ensure the best possible results from hand held vocals or closely mic'd instruments.
Concept Mic/Line channel 6) continued Mon The Mon control is set for pre-fade operation for use as a monitor send.The signal passes to the feedback filter and monitor fader in the master section before leaving by the jack socket marked Mon. 11 LINE 7) INSERT AUX1 The AUX 1 is set for 'post fade' operation,it traditionaly being used as an effects send.The signal passes to the Aux 1 master send control before leaving by the socket marked Aux 1 Output.
