24. 2T Return Controls
Pushing either one of the buttons in the 2T Return Control
Section selects the destination of the 2T Return signal. The
uppermost button ("to L/R") sends the signal to the Main L-R
mixing bus, whereas the lower button (either "to Phones" or
"to Ctrl Rm") sends the signal to the Phones or Control Room/
Phones mixing bus, respectively. These buttons can, of course,
be used simultaneously, feeding the signal to both the Control
Room/Phones and Main L/R mixing bus. If the "to Phones" or "to
Ctrl Rm" buttons are not engaged, the Phones and Control Room
outputs will receive the Main L-R signal.
25. AUX / EFX Send Control (AM125 and
AM125FX only)
This control adjusts the level of signal, taken from
each individual channel's AUX controls, will be sent
to the AUX send output. In the case of the AM125FX,
the EFX control will adjust the level of signal taken
from the built in effect processor to the EFX send
output.
26. Phantom Power Switch
When this switch is in the on position it activates +48V of
phantom power for both microphone inputs, allowing condenser
microphones to be used on these channels.
NB. Phantom Power should be used in conjunction with condenser microphones only.
This switch is not featured on the AM 55.However many modern microphones are
unaffected by Phantom Power, so it's best to consult your mic's user's manual for
details.
27. Phones (Control Room/Phones) Control
On the AM55, this control is used to adjust the audio level of the
phones feed, to be sent to the Phones output. It can be used
in conjunction with headphones or, if required, as an auxiliary
output. On the AM85, AM105, AM105FX, AM125 and AM125FX,
however, this control adjusts not only the phones level, but the
signal level sent to the Control Room output also. The Control
Room output is commonly used in monitoring, as a side fill, or for
the addition of other, external devices.
28. AUX/EFX to CTRL Button (AM125 and AM125FX
only)
Pushing this button will send the signal from the AUX or EFX mix
to the Control Room mix. This is useful for monitoring of the EFX
mix or for the tracking of individual instruments.

29. Main L/R Control
This control is final level control for the main left and right audio
feed, sent to the Main L and R output.
30. Level Meter
The AM series' 4-segment level meters give an accurate
indication of when audio levels of the MAIN L/R output reach
certain levels. It is suggested for the maximum use of audio to
set the various levels controls so that the peak light flashes only
on occasionally (and perhaps it is better if to leave it a pinch
below this level).
31. Power Indicator
The Power Indicator will light up when the power of the mixer
is on.
