FF CT 1/2
23. DISPLAY
The display always indicates the actually selected program number for the corre-
sponding FX-unit.
24. UP/DOWN
The UP/DOWN-keys let you step through the effect programs one by one in
increasing or declining order. Keeping either one button pressed for a longer period
of time allows scrolling the effect program numbers with increased tempo.
25. FX ON
Engaging this switch turns the power of the corresponding internal FX-unit on and
the green LED lights. For intelligibility reasons switching the FX-units off during
announcements is recommended.
Pushing down the TALK-button while making an announcement from the MIC1-input
channel automatically reduces the audio signal's effects portion.
26. PEAK LED
These indicators signal if the input stages of the internal FX-units are driven into
clipping. To achieve an adequate S/N-ratio, please adjust the FX units' input level as
follows.
Note on how to adjust the FX input signal:
1. Establish a "dry" mix - without effect settings - according to the previous
descriptions.
2. Set the FX-return control (27) of the corresponding effect channel to its
center position.
3. Use the UP/DOWN-buttons to select the desired FX-program preset.
4. Press the FX ON-switch.
5. Play the sound source of the desired input channel and adjust the desired
amount of the FX-signal, using the FX-controls of the input channel until the
resulting effect mix meets your requirements. Repeat this procedure for all
input channels that you would like to include in the effect mix.
6. Please make sure that the PEAK LED only lights frequently at highly dynamic
signal peaks.
7. Now, using the FX-return controls lets you alter the percentage of the effect
signal in the main mix.
It is good advice to keep an eye on the peak indicators when operating your MP7 to
be able to quickly interact when the signal levels exceed the normal range and enter
clipping.
27. EFFECT RETURN FX1 / FX2
The setting of these stereo controls determines the amount of the effect signal getting
added to the main mix.
