54 - MASTER A OUT L/R
The mixer's electronically balanced main outputs carrying the post master fader L/R signals for connection of the main
PA. The MASTER outputs are switched via output relay with a delay of approx. two seconds after the mixer has been
powered on, which prevents power-on noise when switching the mixer on or off.
Please also refer to the chapter "Setting up a standard PA system".
55 - MASTER A INSERTS L/R
Stereo phone jacks for left and right channels with breaker function. The low impedance output is assigned to the tip
(send) and the high impedance input (return) is assigned to the ring of the connector. This jack allows incorporating
external third octave band or octave band EQs, compressors, limiters, de-noisers, etc. into the master's signal path. The
insertion point is pre master faders. As well as with the inserts of the monaural input channels, different DIRECT OUT
functions can be accomplished. Please, also refer to the corresponding description on page 7.
56 - MASTER B OUTPUTS L/R
At the MASTER B OUTPUTS the L/R master audio signal is present that can be used for additional monitoring, side fill
and "next door" applications, or for the connection of a delay-line or subwoofer. The output is pre/post- and also stereo/
mono-switchable.
57 - MASTER B
This control allows adjusting the level of the MASTER B output. The signal levels at MASTER A OUT L/R and MASTER B
OUTPUTS L/R are identical if the MASTER B control is set to the position „5" and the PRE/POST switch is set to POST.
58 - PRE/POST MASTER B
OF
When PRE is selected the MASTER B is outputted pre master faders (and, if used, pre GEQ), i.e. the level at the MASTER
B OUTPUTS is independent from the master faders settings. When POST is selected the MASTER B is outputted post
master faders, i.e. the level at the MASTER B OUTPUTS depends on the setting of the master faders.
Controlling a connected Sub's level via master fader makes sense when using an active subwoofer. For monitoring ap-
plications, e.g. side fill on the stage, using the pre-fader setting seems more reasonable.
59 - STEREO/MONO MASTER B
OF
When STEREO is selected the MASTER L/R signal is not changed and outputted in stereo. When MONO is selected the
MASTER L/R signal is summed and outputted in mono at MASTER B L and also MASTER B R. Using MONO is recom-
mended when mono subwoofers are connected to MASTER B outputs.
60 - PHONES
JACK
Stereo phone jack for the connection of headphones with an impedance of 32 to 600 ohms. The audio signals of the
channels with PFL buttons engaged is outputted via this connector. The phones output presents the master L/R signal
when there is no PFL button engaged. Headphones or in ear monitor systems with an impedance below 32 ohms can
be connected. In this case the maximum reachable volume is reduced.
61 - PHONES
CONTROL
This control sets the volume of the headphones connected.
CAUTION: Make sure to set the control to its minimum position before connecting headphones. Permanent hear-
ing loss may occur if headphones are used at high volume.
62 - REC SEND L/R
These RCA-type connectors carry the pre fader master L/R signal. The signal is not affected by the setting of the master
faders and therefore mostly used for the connection of cassette decks, open reel tape decks or DAT recorders for re-
cording purposes. Use the REC SEND & USB OUT control to adjuste the output level.
CAUTION: On most recorders the input signal is directly carried through to the outputs. In case you have con-
nected both, the REC SENDS and the 2TRACK IN, and the CMS's 2TRACK to MASTER control is set to
anything but its lowest setting, the recorded signal is included in the master mix again. The difference
in delay of the two signals is responsible for dropouts and general degradation of the sound. In the
worst case, activating the RECORD button on your tape deck could lead to very unpleasant feedback
noise. To prevent this from happening make sure to set the 2TRACK to MASTER control to their lowest
settings.
