4.7 FX/Mon/Aux sends
FX 1 and 2
The FX outputs 1 and 2 provide the signals of the effects buses 1 and 2.
These signals may be sent to external effects processors and are routed back over
the AUX-RETURN inputs or separate input channels, for example.
MON 1 and 2
The monitor outputs 1 and 2 provide the signals of the monitor buses.
These signals may be be sent to stage loudspeakers. To prevent interference due
to the long cables being used between stage and mixing console, the outputs
are balanced XLR connectors. What's more, you have the right connectors when
working with multicores.
AUX 1 and 2
The AUX outputs 1 and 2 provide the signals of the AUX buses 1 and 2.
You can switch these buses pre-fader and post-fader so that they may be
used for effects as well as for monitor applications.
4.8 Aux returns
AUX RETURN
The stereo AUX inputs 1 und 2 let you connect the mixer to additional equipment
(players, effects processors, submixers, etc.). The signal is sent to the signal sum.
FX RETURN
The stereo FX RETURN connectors 1 and 2 are linked to the outputs of external
effects processors. Depending on the routing, the signals are sent to the
subgroup or the main mix bus.
4.9 Light and headphone connectors
LAMPS
The LAMPS plugs are for connecting gooseneck lamps with BNC connectors.
The power supply is 12 V _ and the total connection load is 5 Watts a lamp.
PHONES
The PHONES outputs (¼" stereo jacks) let you plug in your headphones.

5. Control Elements

This chapter describes the various control elements of your mixing console.
Each control and switch is explained in full detail.
5.1 Mono channels
+48 V
This control LED lights up as long as the phantom power is switched on.
The switch is found on the rear panel of the unit.
Trim
The TRIM control adjusts the input gain.
◊
Be sure to set this control fully counter-clockwise before you connect or
disconnect a signal source to or from one of the inputs.
The dial offers 2 different value ranges. The first value range between 0 and +60
refers to the microphone input, indicating the degree of amplification applied to
the input's signal. The second value range between -20 and +40 dB refers to the
amplification of the line input. When centered (at 12 o'clock), the line signals are
neither boosted nor cut.
80 Hz
Press the 80 Hz switch to activate the high-pass filter which blends out
low-frequency noise (-3 dB at 80 Hz, 18 dB/octave).
Equalization
The mono input channels provide 4-band equalization with 2 semi-parametric
mids. You can boost or cut the bands up to 15 dB. When in center position (0 dB),
the equalizer has a flat response.
HIGH
The high-frequency range is processed with a shelving filter above 12 kHz.
HIGH MID
A semi-parametric peak filter processes the upper mid range between 400 Hz
and 8 kHz. The FRE control selects the frequency which is boosted or cut by using
the HIGH MID control.
