Rear Panel Connections; Firmware Updates - Peavey FX Mixer Series Operating Manual

DIGITAL PROCESSING ARENA
This feature is perfect for playing a pre-recorded musical piece through assigned channels of your mixer.
USB drives also allow you to record specific segments of your work or an entire gig up to the amount of
free memory available on your USB drive. After connecting a USB drive to the USB port (60), enter the
USB menu. Follow on-screen instructions to select files available for playback or to name files for
recording, again using soft knobs (45-46) to make all selections.

Firmware Updates

To install a firmware update, hold down the left Software Encoder (45) while powering up your mixer.
Follow on-screen prompts to complete your process. Necessary files can be downloaded from the In-
ternet and installed using your computer or an optional USB drive. If the installation is successful, your
mixer will automatically restart. If unsuccessful, or to exit the update mode, press the power button to
restart.

CONNECTIONS
Inserts
48
These jacks are
1/4" Tip/Ring/Sleeve
(TRS) connectors
that allow external
signal processors to
be inserted into the
Input Channel sig-
nal path. Tip=Send;
Ring=Return;
Sleeve=Ground. One of
the on-board
effects processors can
be patched to any chan-
nel with an Insert.
Line (1/4") Inputs
49
These jacks are 1/4"
balanced (TRS) high-
impedance inputs. The
tip is the positive input
and should be used for unbalanced inputs. It has 20 dB less gain than the XLR input and does not have
phantom power available. The Mic and Line inputs should not be used simultaneously.
Mic (XLR) Inputs
50
XLR balanced inputs optimized for a microphone or other low impedance source. Pin 2 is the positive
input. Because of the wide range of gain adjustment, signal levels up to +14 dBu can be accommodated.
Stereo (1/4") Inputs
51
These 1/4" unbalanced inputs work as a stereo line input using both jacks or as a mono input if the con-
nection is made to the L/Mono input only.
Group Inserts
52
These jacks are 1/4" TRS connectors that allow external signal processors to be inserted into the Group
signal path. Tip=Send; Ring=Return; Sleeve=Ground. One of the on-board effects processors can be
patched to any Group Insert.
