- Page 10 A built-in 1kHz OSCILLATOR provides a test tone for system tests or aligning Tape Machines. Press the switch to turn ON the oscillator and feed a 1kHz tone to the MIX and GROUP outputs at a fixed level. DON’T DO THIS DURING A LIVE PERFORMANCE, OR WITH THE AMPLIFIERS TURNED UP HIGH - a sudden, very loud burst of tone will not do your ears or your loudspeakers any good! The mauve cap colour indicates that this button must be used with caution.
- Page 11 The TAPE RETURN jacks are an ideal place to connect the playback of a tape machine, without using up any of the LINE inputs. This pot sets the level of playback signal fed either to the MIX (when MIX is pressed) or MONITOR, when MIX/2TK is pressed.
- Page 12 You will probably use your SPIRIT FOLIO 4 with a wide range of different types of sound source, and these will be at varying signal levels. It is important to set the GAIN of the inputs correctly to give the best performance.
- Page 13 It is not appropriate to use the group outputs to record a live performance, since these will be most useful for subgrouping parts of the PA mix. Instead, use the -10dBV 2-Track Tape Sends, which are completely independent of the mix fader level. SPIRIT FOLIO 4...

- Page 22 Aux sends if required. The individual channel Aux Sends allow a separate stereo mix to be created, or the MONO button on the Aux Master section may be used to switch the mix to mono if required. This configuration would also be appropriate to drive separate zones in a Club application. SPIRIT FOLIO 4...

- Page 24 The console may also be used for 4-Track recording. The set up is similar to the previous example, but with a 4-track recorder fed from the Group Outputs and brought back for monitoring via 4 line inputs. In this case a compressor/limiter is shown applied to one of the mic channels via the insert. SPIRIT FOLIO 4...
