Peavey AAM 2443 User Manual page 4

PFL – PRE-FADER LISTEN. PFLs send signals to the headphone output and are not affected by
the fader setting.
AFL – AFTER-FADER LISTEN. AFLs send signals to the headphone output and are affected by
fader setting.
LOW CUT – (channel low cut) These adjust the frequency in the channel where the low frequencies
begin to roll off, and are variable by frequency from OFF (inaudible) to 300 Hz.
1/2, 3/4, L/R, MONO – These buttons route the channels to their respective output buses. BAL/PAN
determines 1/2, 3/4 or L/R.
INSERTS – These jacks allow the signal to be taken from and returned to the channel, allowing
outboard equipment to be inserted into the signal chain.
MID FREQ – This control selects the frequency adjusted by the MID control in the EQ
section.
COMPRESSORS – These reduce levels at a ratio of 4 to 1 when the THRESHOLD is reached.
THRESHOLD – This control sets the level at which compression activates.
GAIN – This control sets the output level from the compressor. This is really a
makeup gain, allowing the user to recover gain lost by compression.
LINK – When these buttons are depressed, the input to compressor 1 activates
compressors 1 and 2, and the input to compressor 3 activates compressors 3 and 4.
SUBGROUP/EXTERNAL – This button routes the compressor signal to the
compressor output jack (LED indicates external jack). This jack is wired reverse of an
insert jack, allowing the compressor to be patched with a 1/4" TRS cable.
PHANTOM POWER – Provides +48 Volt power to microphones that need it.
