    Stage Monitors Stage monitors (sometimes called “foldback” speakers) are used to allow the performers to hear themselves and each other. Frequently the performers will need to hear a different blend (a “mix”) of the microphones and direct inputs than the audience is hearing. The “MON” and “MON2” sec- tions of your MusicMix 16 allow two independent mixes to be sent to performer’s stage monitors.

    FADER The 100mm FADER is custom designed to give smoother control of the overall signal level in the channel strip and allowing precise balancing of the various source signals being mixed to the Master Section. You get most control when the input SENSITIVITY is set up correctly, giving full travel on the fader.

    EFX2 / MON2 This auxiliary send may be used either as a second send to an effects device such as a digital reverb or as a second monitor send. • When the master EFX2 / MON2 switch is set to the EFX2 position (disengaged) the signal will be taken after the EQ and master fader which is ideal for feeding an effects device.
