Stereo FX Return with 3-band EQ
Located above each pair of Group/Aux Output sections is a stereo FX return section. A stereo
line input from balanced rear panel jacks is fed via a 0-10dB gain switch (13), via a stereo 3-
band EQ section (see below) to a rotary level fader (14).

Illuminated Stereo PFL (15) and Mute (16) switches are provided.

The stereo return signal can be routed to the main MIX (17) and C (18) busses, or directly to
11 the nearest pair of Output faders directly below the return, using the FDR1-2 switch (19), or,
for the Aux 9-10 outputs, using the AUX 9-10 switch (20). This gives the following benefits to
the return in addition to standard FX return to the main mix:
In FOH applications when a pair of Output Faders will be controlling a stereo subgroup, the
return can provide an individual FX return for that mix, the level of which will be controlled by
the subgroup fader.
In Monitor applications, if Aux 9-10 is being used as a stereo in-ear feed, an individual reverb
return can be routed to the in-ear output.
Alternatively, if all 8 subgroups are not being used in a FOH application, the return can be
routed to the output Faders and then to Mix, allowing control of the return level by linear
faders.
EQ
The stereo EQ section comprises fixed shelving HF (21) and LF (22) bands, at 12kHz and
80Hz respectively, with a peak/dip mid band (23) with a centre frequency of 1kHz. The mid
band Q is fixed at 1.1. 15dB of cut or boost is available on all bands.
