Send3 And Send4; Send3 And Send4 Pre Or Post - Yamaha Programmable Mixer 01 User Manual

1. Press [SEND3] or [SEND4].
The SEND3 or SEND4 LCD
function appears.
The channel faders are now
controlling channel-to-send
levels and the RTN/SEND
fader, the corresponding send
(SEND3 or SEND4).
2. Raise the channel fader.
0dB is a good fader position
to start with. You can always
readjust later.
For post-fader sends you must
set the normal fader too.
3. Raise the RTN/SEND fader.
The send signal is output and
its level is metered on the LCD.

SEND3 and SEND4

SEND3 and SEND4 can be used to feed external effects processors,
foldback amplifiers, or multitrack recording equipment. When used
to feed an external effects processor, the processed signal can be
returned via the stereo input channel or an unused input channel.
Input channel and stereo input channels signals can be fed to SEND3
and SEND4.
The master send level is set using the RTN/SEND fader. When the
SEND3 LCD function is selected, the RTN/SEND fader is automati-
cally set to SEND3. Likewise, when the SEND4 LCD function is
selected, it is automatically set to SEND4. The RTN/SEND [SEL] but-
ton can also be used to select SEND3 and SEND4.
Shown below is the SEND3 LCD function. The SEND4 LCD function
is essentially the same. A level meter for the send signal is on the right.
The meter signal is sourced after the RTN/SEND fader. Ideally the
level should be set relatively high and it's OK to reach CLIP occasion-
ally. If CLIP is reached often, however, reduce the send level a little,
otherwise signal distortion may occur.

SEND3 and SEND4 Pre or Post

SEND3 and SEND4 can be configured pre-fader or post-fader, and
the current setting is shown at the bottom right of the display. This
setting affects all channels, so if SEND3 is set to PRE, all channel
SEND3s are pre-fader. Initially, SEND3 and SEND4 are configured
pre-fader, the usual setting for foldback sends.
This setting can be toggled between PRE and POST by pressing
[ENTER] or turning the PARAMETER wheel.
PRE — the send signal is sourced before the channel fader. So it's
unaffected by the normal channel fader. This means that the
channel-to-mix and channel-to-foldback levels can be set indepen-
dently.
POST — the send signal is sourced after the channel fader. This
means that the send signal is also affected by the normal channel
fader. So you must have that fader raised as well. This setting is used
mainly for effects sends. See "SEND1 and SEND2 Pre or Post" on
page 32 for more details.
