When pressed the signal will appear on the monitor and headphone outputs - use
this to monitor the post-EQ signal from the channel.
When this switch is up, the channel's post-pan-pot signal is routed to the Mix (left
and right) buses. When the switch is depressed, the post-pan-pot signal is routed
to the Sub-group (left and right) buses.
The SP LED glows when a signal is present. The feed point for the LED is post-EQ,
pre-mute.
This is used to control the level fed to the Mix Bus and post-fade sends.

processor.
The sub-group mix can be routed to the main mix, in mono or stereo.
These faders control the overall level of the mix and sub-group outputs.
These show the level of the mix outputs. When the AFL/PFL ACTIVE LED is lit, the
meters show the level of the selected AFL/PFL signal.

This controls the level of the signal sent to your monitoring system.

This controls the level of the signal sent to the headphones jack socket.
Plug your headphones into this socket. Recommended headphones impedance is
150 ohms or greater.
(headphones/in-ear/stage monitors). There are switchable pre/post fade.
Listen (AFL) switches route their respective aux output signal to the monitor/head-
phones outputs.
These switches globally changes their own AUX feed on all the input modules to be
either pre or post-fade.
These two inputs can be used to connect line level stereo inputs from keyboards,
sound modules, samplers, computer based audio cards etc. These inputs pass
through a stereo channel strip, with EQ, Auxes and a Balance control.
Use these to control the 2 Track signal. The MONITOR switch sends the signal to the
monitor outputs and phones, whilst the TO MIX switch sends it to the main mix.
Press this to switch the phantom power (48V) on for condenser microphones.
WARNING: Do Not apply Phantom Power before connecting a microphone.
This pair of inputs accept 3-pole ' A ' gauge (TRS) jacks. Use these inputs for sources
such as keyboards, drum machines, synths or CDs. The inputs are BALANCED.
Mono sources may be used by plugging into the left jack only.
This control sets the level of signal routed to the main mix busses. There is an
associated PK LED to warn of signals which are too high.
This output carries the signal from the FX bus. It could be used as a second Aux
Output if desired, if the FX Processor is not needed at the time. The FX sends on the
inputs channels to the FX bus are always post-fade.
The rotary control regulates the signal level being fed from the FX bus to the FX
processor and to the FX BUS OUTPUT socket. The Pre-Fade Listen (PFL) switch
routes the post-FX signal to the monitor/headphones outputs.
This is used by the FX Processor, see page 25.
