Return Section
Descripon
The Return secon is located on the upper le-hand side of the front panel and
consists of two basic stereo channels for use as return inputs from external eects
processors. Connecon to the Return channels is via 4 x 1/4” TRS Jack sockets
mounted on the rear panel, however the Return channels can also be fed from the
DB25 connector DSUB IN 2 - see page 12 for details.
TRIM - Adjusts the level of the return signal. Each Return input pre-amplier is
equipped with a Hard-Limiter circuit and an excess of gain (+28dB) allowing the
return signal to be driven into distoron (as an eect). Turning the Trim control clock-
wise beyond the “0” and into the regain marked “DRIVE” will progressively distort the
signal unl it reaches maximum clipping. See page 9 for more informaon on Drive.
CUE - Routes the pre-level signal to both the Cue A and Cue B monitor systems.
Return Meters - Provides a visual indicaon of each Return signal level. The Peak (PK)
LED will illuminate at signal levels above +8dBu. This is set lower than on the main
channels due to the xed Drive circuit - note that signal levels above PK will acvate
the distoron circuits.
LEVEL - A rotary fader to adjust the amount of the Return signal fed into the main Mix.
RETURN 1-2 LOW CUT - Acvates a lter that aenuates the low frequency response
on both Return 1 and Return 2. The lter has a slope of 6dB per octave and is set at
320Hz (-3dB).
RETURN 1-2 TO MASTER FILTER - This routes both Return 1 and Return 2 to the
Master Filter secon. This switch is controlled by the zero-crossing detecon system
so can be used as a performance eect.
