  • Page 8 Front Panel MONO INPUT CHANNELS Gain This control establishes the nominal operating level for the channel. The input gain can be adjusted over a wide range (0 dB – 60 dB) to compensate for soft voices or very loud drums. To maximize the signal-to-noise ratio, the gain should be set to the proper level, with the Channel Fader (13) set to 0.
  • Page 9 Front Panel This control determines the signal’s position with respect to the assigned L/R and Group 1–4 buses. Rotating the control counterclockwise increases the amount of signal sent to L and odd-numbered groups; rotating clockwise increases the amount sent to R and even-numbered groups. For example, with the channel Bus Assign switch (10) in the 1/2 position, rotating the control counterclockwise increases the amount of signal sent to Group 1, while rotating clockwise increases the amount sent to Group 2.
  • Page 10 Front Panel STEREO INPUT CHANNELS Mic Gain This control establishes the nominal operating level for the mic input (XLR) of the channel. The mic gain can be adjusted over a wide range (0 dB – 60 dB) to compensate for soft voices or very loud drums. To maximize the signal-to-noise ratio, the gain should be set to the proper level, with the Channel Fader (13) set to ø.
  • Page 11 Front Panel Phantom Power Switch This switch applies +48 VDC voltage to the input XLR connectors to power condenser microphones requiring phan- tom power. This switch is recessed into the console and requires a small “tool” such as a pencil or pen tip to activate. A regular low impedance dynamic mic such as the PVM™...
  • Page 12 Front Panel AFL Switch/Signal-AFL LED This switch connects the Group’s post-fader signal to the PFL/AFL mix. When the AFL button is in, the Group’s signal can be monitored through the headphones and/or on the PFL/AFL display. A yellow LED in the Master section will blink to indicate that the signal on the Master LED display and the Headphone Output is the PFL/AFL mix.
  • Page 13 This LED indicates that AC power is supplied to the unit‚ the power switch is on, and the unit is function- ing properly. Lamp 12Vdc (24FX™ and 32FX™ mixers only) These outputs are designed to power gooseneck lamps such as the Peavey ML-1.
  • Page 14 44A Effects Screen When you power up your FX Mixer, the Peavey logo will briefly appear on the LCD (47). In a few seconds, once the mixer software is fully loaded, the effects screen will appear on the LCD (47). Your FX Mixer fea- tures a variety of commonly used factory presets and plenty of user-defined, customizable presets.
  • Page 15 DIGITAL PROCESSING ARENA IMPORTANT: When a signal passes through a digital EFX 1 user 34 effects processor, a short delay results. When this same signal returns to the mixer and combines with the main output, the small delay difference results in a comb filter.
  • Page 16 (45-46) to make all adjustments. MASTER USER TIP: Peavey highly recommends that you set a security password. Allowing someone else to operate your unsecured FX mixer grants that user complete access to change all of your settings.
