IX NSERTS
Operation is identical to channel inserts. Use these sockets if you wish to insert external signal
processing equipment into the mix pre-L-R fader. For live sound it is common to insert graphic
equalisers to adjust for the room acoustics. Use a suitable Y-adapter lead as illustrated on page
12 : tip = send, ring = return.

ROUPS
Groups 1-4 are output to 3-wire balanced XLR connectors to drive long cable runs. Inserts are
provided as for the L-R outputs. Groups can be used to drive additional power amplifiers and
speakers or for 4 track recording. If MODE SWITCHING aux/groups reverse is in operation, group
faders are connected to the corresponding aux buss (Aux 1 to Group 1 fader, etc...). Refer to
MODE SWITCHING section on page 16 for more information.

UXILIARY
Auxiliaries 1-6 can be used to set up one or more stage monitor mixes or effects sends. Auxiliary
outputs are on 1/4" TRS jacks.
Set up a pre-fade aux mix to send a stage monitor or cue mix to the performers. The aux outputs
are 3-wire balanced for interference rejection when plugged into equipment with balanced inputs.
Set up a post-fade aux mix to send channel signals to an external effects device such as reverb or
delay. Return the processed signal to the mix by plugging the device output into stereo returns 1-
4, or into a stereo channel input. These inputs can operate balanced or unbalanced. For a mono
return simply plug into the L input, leaving R unplugged. The setting of the channel aux send
control combined with that of the fader position determines how much of the signal is sent to the
aux master and subsequently to the effects unit.
If MODE SWITCHING aux/groups reverse is in operation, aux master level controls are connected
to the corresponding group busses (Group 1 to Aux Master 1, etc...).
SWITCHING section on page 16 for more information.

WO RACK
Individual RCA phono sockets are provided for connecting a 2-Track stereo recorder such as a
cassette or DAT machine. Connect the recorder input (REC) connections to the send sockets and
the recorder output (PLAY) connectors to the return sockets.
The return can be switched to L-R mix for recording playback. The return can also be used for
intermission replay from a CD player or similar playback device
