Using The Digital Effects; Sending An Independent Mix To The Monitor Speakers - Samson XM410 Owner's Manual

USING THE DIGITAL EFFECTS

The XM410 features a built-in, high quality, 24 BIT Digital Signal Processor offering studio grade effects. The DSP
features clean Delay, lush Reverbs and multi-effects like Chorus + Delay or Chorus + Reverb. You can add a broad
range of studio quality effects by simply dialing through the 100 presets. The following details the operation of the
internal DSP effects:
1. Connect a mic or instrument to the desired channel, and adjust the volume and equalizer to your liking.
2. Press in the EFX ON switch. Now select the desired preset using the EFFECTS
SELECT switch. Set the DSP SELECT switch to one of the following 100 effects:
0 - 9 Performance
10 - 19 Hall Reverb
20 - 29 Plate Reverb
30 - 39 Spring Reverb
40 - 49 Echo
50 - 59 Flange + Verb
60 - 69 Chorus + Verb
70 - 79 Echo + Verb
80 - 89 Chorus
90 - 99 Flange
4. Once you have selected the desired effect preset, raise the EFX control on the chan-
nels you wish to apply the digital effect to.
5. Now use the EFX RTN knob in the MAIN/MONITOR section to adjust the EFFECTS Return level. The EFX control
is the overall level control for the DSP effects processor. If you are not using the XM410 in MAIN/ MONITOR or
BRIDGE mode, be sure to raise the EFX RTN control up on both the MAIN and MAIN/ MONITOR sections so the
level of effect is the same in both speakers.
NOTE:
If the effect sound is distorted even though the EFX RTN is turned all the way down, lower the EFX controls
of each channel .
SENDING AN INDEPENDENT MIX TO THE MONITOR
SPEAKERS
The XM410 allows you to operate the power amplifiers in
a MAIN/ MONITOR mode. This lets you use one amplifier
for speakers facing the audience, and the other amplifier
for the monitor speaker facing the musicians.
1. Set the channel MONITOR section and VOLUME control
to the "0" position.
2
Use the MASTER controls of the MAIN/MONITOR sections to
adjust the overall volume and tone.
NOTE:
The MONITOR controls are not affected by
the level settings of each channel. This allows you to create a mix for the monitors that is independent of
the MAIN mix.
Raise the MONITOR controls for the channels that you wish to hear from the monitor speakers.
