3.4 Equalizer

The mic channel EQ section comprises three control knobs and one switch. Depressing the LOW CUT
switch rolls off the bass end (-18 dB/oct @ 75 Hz). We recommend using this feature with microphones to
eliminate "popping" and handling noise. Where loud music is playing, LOW CUT also helps to avoid bass
feedback. Separate controls cut and boost TREBLE
Use EQ creatively to sweeten the sound of your microphone, or defensively to help cut feedback (see below for
EQ specifications).
+
If you are serious about your mic channel, and want to really kill feedback, you can patch our
FEEDBACK DESTROYER PRO DSP1124P across the channel insert point at the rear of the
console. It is ideal for this purpose.

3.5 Output

Mic channel output is fed directly into the main mix, not via the X and Y subgroup channels. Level is controlled
by a precision 100 mm fader
sent to the mix by depressing the CHANNEL ON switch
on. (Channel on is the inverse of the more traditional channel mute found on standard recording consoles).
+
The mic channels are routed to the tape outputs
to the tape outs
+
The faders used are special high-quality true-log faders. These give ultra-smooth operation
even at low levels, on a par with those used in very expensive studio consoles.

3.6 Effects

You can patch a mono or stereo outboard effects processor into your DX1000 via the effect send
jacks on the back panel. Now you can effect your voice instantly simply by punching the illuminated
EFFECT button . The effect send level is dependent on the fader setting. Adjust the desired amount of
effect (from -oo to +30 dB) by the EFFECT RETURN knob
+
Set your effects unit input level so that the input meter reading (if there is one) is healthy when
you are sending a typical signal to it. Too low a level will mean too much hiss on your effects
return, too high and you'll get distortion.

4. STEREO INPUT CHANNEL

Plug a phono (turntable) or line source (CD player etc.) into the appropriate PHONO
music at a typical volume to check out and set up the channel.

4.1 Input selection

Inputs are on the DX1000's back panel. Your input source is selectable between a pair of stereo inputs by the
switch at the top of the channel strip. An associated pair of LEDs
The choice of inputs depends on which of channels 3 - 7 you are looking at. The mixer is set up as follows:
