Aux Sends; Pan; Peak; Level - Alto S-8 User Manual

4.6 AUX SENDS

These two controls will send the audio signal out to Auxiliary busses.
AUX 1 is configured as PRE-FADER. It means that the signal is sent
out before reaching the main Fader. This will be used for stage monitors.
AUX 2 is configured as POST-FADER; therefore, the audio signal will
be affected by the Main Channel Fader. This will be used for effects
and sound processors. However, Aux 2 can also be configured as
Pre-Fader through any internal modification. (Please see "MODIFI-
CATIONS" later in this Manual.)

4.7 PAN

This is the PANORAMA control, or balance control. You can adjust
the stereo image of the signal via this Control. Keep this control in
center position and your signal will be positioned in the middle of
stage. Turn this control fully counterclockwise and the signal will be
present only on the left speaker and vice-versa. Of course a wide
number of intermediate positions is available.

4.8 PEAK

Inside your S-8 the audio signal is monitored in several different stages
and then sent to the PEAK Led. When this Led blinks, it warns you
that you are reaching signal saturation and possible distortion. The
PEAK Led will blink with a level that is 6dB before actual clipping.

4.9 LEVEL

This Control will adjust the overall level of this channel and set the
amount of signal sent to the Main output.

4.10 INSERT

Insert points are provided for the Mono Mic Channels. When you
insert a jack in the insert socket, the signal will be taken out after the
Input Gain Control (Trim), sent to an external processor such a com-
pressor-limiter, and returned into the channel strip immediately before
the EQ section. Of course, these jacks used must be stereo (Tip Send/
Ring Return).
