Master Control Section - Yamaha AM802 Operation Manual

O Channel Fader
This is the main level control for each input channel. It
determines the level of the signal sent from the corre¬
sponding input channel to the master stereo buss..
The settings of the input channel faders determines
the "mix" or balance of sound levels between the in¬
struments or other sources connected to the inputs.
r
NOTE: --
If a channel is not being used, its fader should be
set to the minimum position to prevent unwanted
noise from being added to the main program sig¬
nals.

O
AUX SND Controls
These adjust the overall output level of the AUX 1,
AUX 2 and AUX 3 "mixes" set up using the corre¬
sponding channel AUX controls. AUX SND 1 sets the
overall level of the AUX 1 mix signal appearing at the
AUX SND 1 jack, AUX SND 2 sets the overall level of
the AUX 2 mix signal appearing at the AUX SND 2
jack, and AUX SND 3 sets the overall level of the
AUX 3 mix signal appearing at the AUX SND 3 jack.
These controls should be used to optimally match the
AUX SND output level of the mixer to the input sensi¬
tivity of the external signal processing device or power
amplifier used,
O
AUX RTN Controls
These controls adjust the level of the signal received
at the corresponding rear-panel AUX RTN jacks and
mixed into the main program on the master stereo
buss. Stereo inputs are provided for each AUX RTN
input, providing compatibility with the many mono-in/
stereo-out signal processors currently available.
® STEREO L & R Faders
The STEREO L and STEREO R faders independently
adjust the level of the signal sent from the left and
right master stereo busses to the L and R ST OUT
jacks.
<D PHONES Control
Adjusts the level of the master stereo program signal
applied to the rear-panel PHONES jack. Use the
PHONES control to set the most comfortable head¬
phone monitoring level.
® REC OUT Control
This control adjusts the level of the master stereo
signal available at the rear-panel REC OUT L and R
jacks. When the REC OUT L and R jacks are con¬
nected to the Inputs of a tape recorder, the REC OUT
control can be used to set the optimum recording
level (in conjunction with the tape recorder's record
level controls, if available).
® Level Meters
The AM802 features independent 5-element LED
peak level meters for the left and right channels. The
LED elements correspond to levels of -20, -10, -3, 0,
and -1-3 dB. If either of the -i-3 dB elements lights more
than just occasionally on high-level peaks, the fader
levels or levels of the sources connected to the
mixer's inputs should be reduced to prevent possible
overload distortion.
® POWER Switch (Rear panel)
Flip to the ON position to turn power ON, or to the
OFF position to turn power OFF. The POWER indica¬
tor LED will light when the power switch is turned ON.
r
CAUTION: -
Make sure the STEREO L and R faders are set to
minimum when turning the POWER switch ON.
