- Page 6 This modification changes AUX SEND 2 to be pre-fader, pre-mute instead of post-fader, post- mute. (“Mute” refers to the channel’s MUTE/ ALT 3–4 switch.) In order to convert the entire mixer, it must be done on each chan- nel, and is slightly more involved for the ste- reo channels 7–14.
- Page 7 This modification changes AUX SEND 1 (in post mode) and AUX SEND 2 to receive signal regardless of the channel’s MUTE/ALT 3–4 switch position, but still be post-fader . In order to convert the entire mixer, it must be done on each channel, and is slightly more involved for the stereo channels 7–14.
- Page 8 This modification changes the SOURCE matrix’s MAIN MIX selection to tap the ste- reo signal before the MAIN MIX level con- trol ( pre ) instead of after ( post ). This could be especially handy for live work where the engi- neer wants to be able to control the MAIN MIX level (sent to the house system) without changing the level in his headphones.
- Page 9 This changes AUX SENDS 1 and 2 , with the pre switch engaged, to receive their signals post- EQ instead of pre- EQ . The signal remains post- low cut, pre-mute and pre-fader. With the pre switch disengaged (up), the signals are not affected by the mod.
- Page 10 This changes the CTL ROOM/PHONES level control in the SOURCE matrix to receive the main mix stereo signal pre- MAIN MIX fader instead of post- MAIN MIX fader. You can accomplish the same result that this modification provides by using two standard ⁄...
- Page 11 This modification changes the tap point of all “pre” AUX sends from post -EQ to pre -EQ. It must be done on each channel. For example, if you have a 24•8, the modification must be done on all 24 input channels. See Figure below.
- Page 12 This modification changes the tap point of the Mix-B Source switch (engaged) from pre - fader/ pre -mute to post -fader/ post -mute. It must be done on each channel. For example, if you have a 24•8, the modification must be done on all 24 input channels.
- Page 13 BEFORE cut here (A) (AUX SEND 1&2) PRE SWITCH (AUX SEND 3&4/5/6) This modification should only be performed if the console is being used strictly for recording. AFTER add jumper (B) add jumper (D) PRE SWITCH A. When the Aux 1/2 Pre Switch is engaged, Aux Send 1 and 2 will tap the Pre-Fader information from the tape returns.
- Page 14 B. When the Aux 1/2 Pre Switch is not engaged, Aux Send 1 and 2 function nor- mally, as post fader channel sends. All that said, here’s the mod. See Figure above. This modification takes place on each channel strip in the area under the AUX 3/4 Mix-V Source switch and also under and near the AUX 1/2 PRE switch.
