EFFECTS
The following section describes the two effects capabilities of the 3D Mix Pro. It is divided into two sub-
sections for clarity and ease of explanation. Those sections are labeled EFFECTS LOOP CONTROLS and
SRS SPATIAL EXPANDER.
EFFECTS LOOP CONTROLS
37. Engage
Pushing this switch in (down) activates the Effects Loop (10) so that the main signal runs through any
external effects units connected to it. It is possible to listen to the effects in the cue by pressing the Loop
Cue button (38). The Engage LED will illuminate to indicate the Effects Loop is active.
38. Loop Cue
Pushing this button in (down) places the effects signal from the loop on the cue bus. This allows you to listen
to what your effects are doing within the headphones or booth. The Cue LED will illuminate to indicate that
the Loop Cue is active.
SPATIAL EXPANDER
The 3D Mix Pro gets its name from the three-dimensional qualities of its built-in SRS effect. The SRS Spatial
Expander creates a three-dimensional sound image from any audio source with only two conventional stereo
speakers. This effect renders greater stereo separation and disperses sound more evenly throughout a room.
Therefore, it produces a better stereo image around a larger area, making speaker placement and listener
location less critical. You will find that it broadens your listening area and actually restores live performance
ambience to your program material.
39. SRS Enable
This button activates the SRS effect when pushed in (down). The SRS enable LED will illuminate to indicate
the SRS Spatial Expander is active.
40. SRS Space
The SRS Space control is used to broaden the stereo separation between the Left and Right outputs.
Adjusting this control fully clockwise will result in maximum stereo imaging/separation.
41. SRS Collapse
Pressing this button will momentarily defeat the Space function of the SRS effect. It is called ÒCollapseÓ due
to its effect on the stereo separation. It collapses the stereo fields from a widened spatial condition to a mono
condition. The SRS Collapse switch is another great effect that can be used to create a beat or feeling in real
time. By pressing and releasing this button with the beat, a swell/collapse condition occurs that is certain to
become a highlight of your show.
