ATTENTION! The following special limitations apply to the console and must be observed in order to maintain safety and electromagnetic compatibility performance: POWER CONNECTION The console should only be operated with the power supply connected to ground via its mains supply connector. CONTROL CONNECTIONS The console should only be operated with high quality screened control cables. All connector shells should be of metal construction so that they provide a screen when they are plugged into the console.

The 48V switch connects 48 volt phantom power to the input connector which is suitable for a condenser microphone or DI box. The PAD switch gives 25dB of attenuation to the input signal which will allow the connection of high output microphones or line level signals. If the input amplifier is transformer coupled (option) the pad greatly reduces the risk of saturation at very low frequencies.
The LO MID (dual concentric top) control gives continuous adjustment of boost and cut from + 15dB to - 15dB with a 0dB centre detent. 0 The lo mid FREQ control gives continuous adjustment of the frequency range that the lo mid equaliser acts on from 100Hz to 2k. The bass BELL switch converts the bass equaliser from traditional MIDAS shelving response to full parametric operation. The bass FREQ control gives continuous adjustment of the frequency range that the bass equaliser acts on from 20Hz to 400Hz.

The PAN defaults to control the channel placement within a group or master stereo mix and has a constant power law i.e. - 3dB at the centre position. The SIS switch enables the spacial imaging system which operates in conjunction with the pan and image controls. It also acts as a left, centre, right master bus enable overriding any stereo and mono master bus assignments.

The 48V switch connects 48 volt phantom power to both input connectors and is suitable for condenser microphones or DI boxes.

If the input amplifiers are transformer coupled (option) the pad greatly reduces the risk of saturation at very low frequencies. 48V +25 PAD +15 O The PHASE switches activate a 180 degree phase change within the input amplifiers.
