How to use this manual
If you are an engineer or technician who is familiar
with sound system design, much of this manual will
serve as a review for you. The basic features are pre-
sented in the "BRIEF OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS"
section. Check this and the "SPECIFICATIONS" sec-
tion, and you will see most of what you need to know.
The balance of this manual provides background in-
formation for better utilization of the console and aux-
iliary equipment.
if you would like to know more about AC power dis-
tribution and safety, grounding, balanced versus un-
balanced cables, direct boxes, and so forth, this infor-
mation is also presented. Check the TABLE OF CON-
TENTS.

There аге internal jumpers within the console which
can be configured to change the functions and/or signal
paths in certain circuits. Refer to the OPTIONAL
FUNCTIONS section for details.
TERMINOLOGY AND TYPOGRAPHIC
CONVENTIONS
Generally, where we refer to a particular control or
function as it is actually labeled on the console, we will
use all upper case type. That is, if we refer to an input
channel's gain control, we may print "the input GAIN
control." On the other hand, if the feature is not labeled,
we will use upper case type only on the first letter; for
example, "observe there is no identification of the input
Fader." If the front panel label is incomplete or am-
biguous, we may augment it. For example, the input
channel assign switches labeled "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8"
may be accompanied by the parenthetic reference
"(group bus assign)".
There are eight groups (or subgroups, depending on
your linguistic preference). The group faders are known
as "Group Master Faders". Their function is to control
the level on the eight "Group Mixing Busses." The eight
group busses are different and distinct from the six
"Auxiliary Mixing Busses." The Stereo Fader has a
single control that simultaneously adjusts the left and
right stereo bus output level, so it is a single fader (it
does have an adjacent balance control for altering the
relative output level on the left and right sides of the
stereo bus).
We have used the terms "XLR" and "XLR-type"
throughout this manual. The connectors actually used
in this console are XLBs, which are compatible with
and equivalent to the XLRs.
Particularly important information is distinguished in
this manual by the following notations:
NOTE:
A NOTE provides key information to make proce-
dures or functions clearer or easier.
CAUTION:
A CAUTION indicates special procedures or guide-
lines that must be observed to avoid damage to the
console or related equipment, or to avoid an undesir-
able result while using the console.
WARNING:
A WARNING indicates special procedures or guidelines
that must be observed to avoid injury to the operator
or others using or exposed to the console or related
equipment.
In the BRIEF OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section
of this manual, each feature is provided with a numer-
ical reference.
Elsewhere, if we are referring to that
feature, we may cite the reference number in square
brackets for clarity. For example, on the input module,
thefourth control to be described is the PAN pot. In other
places on the console there are other PAN pots. For
clarity, then, if we are discussing this particular input
PAN pot, we will describe it like this: "the PAN pot [6]".
