F EFFECT RETURN controls
These controls adjust the levels of the signals that are
received at the corresponding EFFECT RETURN jacks
on the top panel (or from the internal digital signal
processor, when the DSP is used in place of external
input to the EFFECT RETURN 2 jacks). Each effect
return circuit has two controls. The LEVEL control
adjusts the level of the signal that is mixed into the
main program on the master mixing bus. The MONI-
TOR control sets the level of the signal that is mixed
into the Monitor bus, where it is mixed with other
signals for output by the MONITOR OUT jacks on the
top panel.
G EFFECT SEND faders
These faders adjust the overall output levels of the
effect mixes that are set up using the EFFECT 1 and
EFFECT 2 controls of each input channel. The EF-
FECT SEND 1 fader sets the overall level of the signal
that appears at the EFFECT SEND 1 jack on the top
panel. The EFFECT SEND 2 fader sets the overall
level of the Effect 2 mix signal, which is sent to both the
EFFECT SEND 2 jack on the top panel and the internal
digital signal processor. These faders should be used
to optimally match the effect mix output levels to the
input sensitivities of the effect signal processors used.
H MONITOR output level controls
These controls adjust the overall output levels of the
monitor mix that are set up using the MONITOR control
of each input channel. The same monitor mix signal is
sent to both the MONITOR OUT A and B jacks on the
top panel; however, the output level of each can be set
separately using the corresponding MONITOR output
level control. These controls should be used to opti-
mally match the monitor mix output levels to the input
sensitivities of the power amplifiers used.
I CD IN controls
The CD IN control adjusts the level of the input signals
from CD players or similar sound sources that are
connected to the master mixing bus from the stereo CD
IN jacks on the top panel. These signals are added to
the bus in front of the GEQ, allowing the EMX3500 to
equalize the signals from the CD players before output.
The CD IN A/B switch, located below the CD IN
control, selects between input from the CD IN A and
CD IN B jacks.
J REC OUT and TAPE IN controls
These controls adjust the levels of the stereo signals to
and from a connected tape deck. The REC OUT
control sets the level of the unequalized pre-fader
master mix signal that is sent for recording by the tape
deck via the REC OUT jacks on the top panel. The
TAPE IN control adjusts the level of the playback signal
that is inserted to the master mixing bus from the TAPE
IN jacks on the top panel. This playback signal is
added to the bus in front of GEQ, allowing the
EMX3500 to equalize the signal from the tape deck
before output.
K Master stereo faders
These are the main volume controls for the overall
program mix. They independently adjust the levels of
the right and left channels of the stereo signal that is
sent to both the rear-panel SPEAKER jacks and the
PHONES jack on the front panel.
L PHANTOM ON/OFF switch and LED indicator
The PHANTOM ON/OFF switch turns the phantom
power feature on and off. When turned on, this function
supplies +48V power to the positive and negative
terminals of the balanced XLR connectors (A) via 6.8
kΩ current-limiting/isolation resistors for use by phan-
tom-powered condenser microphones. Signal sources
that don't require phantom power should be connected
to the phone jack (B) when phantom power is used.
The PHANTOM LED indicator lights when phantom
power is on.
M PHONES control
This control adjusts the level of the stereo signal
delivered from the PHONES jack located directly below
it on the front panel. Since this level adjustment is
made after the GEQ, the volume of sound heard from
the headphones will be affected by both the master
stereo faders and the PHONES control.
N PHONES jack
This jack delivers the main program signal to a pair of
40Ω stereo monitor headphones. The volume of the
output signal is adjusted by both the PHONES control
and the master stereo faders.
