GROUP (Aux), L, R, M OUT
balanced XLR. These produce +4dBu when the meters read '0'. The M out-
put can be switched to provide a mono sum of the post-fade L and R signals,
or the PFL/AFL engineer's wedge output.
The L and R outputs typically feed the house PA system in live sound mixing,
or a 2-track recorder in studio mixing. In FOH mode, the M output can pro-
vide an additional feed for a mono fill speaker or zone, or be used as the main
feed into a mono PA. In monitor mode the M output feeds the engineer's
wedge monitor speaker with the AFL signal interrupted by PFL.
Group 1 – 4 outputs can be used to provide additional zone or special feeds,
or for multitrack recording. In FOH mode they are often left unconnected
where the groups are used as 'subgroups' for grouped level control and/or
inserted processing. In monitor mode, the group and LR output XLRs and
inserts become the aux mix masters. This configures the console with 6 main
mix outputs capable of driving the stage monitors.
AUX OUT 1-6
Each aux send is available on an impedance balanced TRS
jack operating at -2dBu line level. An internal option is available to fit a bal-
anced line driver IC to provide an electronically balanced output operating at
+4dBu. Note that it is not usual to require this option as the impedance bal-
anced standard drive provides sufficient interference rejection when feeding
balanced equipment inputs.
The aux sends are typically used to feed monitors, effects devices such as re-
verb and delay, and for special mix requirements. In monitor mode, these out-
puts reverse with the groups and LR connections.
MATRIX OUT A, B
balanced TRS jack operating at -2dBu line level. An internal option is available
to fit a balanced line driver IC to provide an electronically balanced output
operating at +4dBu. Note that it is not usual to require this option as the im-
pedance balanced standard drive provides significant interference rejection
when feeding balanced equipment inputs.
The matrix outputs are typically used for stereo or mono recording or broad-
cast feeds, delay and fill speakers, zone feeds, hearing assist loops and so on.
2-TRACK IN and OUT
phono sockets for connection to popular recording and playback devices such
as CD, MiniDisc, computers and tape machines. Nominal line level is -2dBu.
The 2-track SEND always follows the post-fade LR mix regardless of mode
switch configuration. The 2-track RETURN can be used for monitoring a ste-
reo recording, or as a simple stereo input for playback of walk-in and back-
ground music.
MONITOR OUT
These impedance balanced line level TRS jack outputs
follow the post-level monitor signal. Separate sockets are provided for the L
and R signals. Use these to feed local speaker or other in-ear monitor sys-
tems.
USB II OPTION
A blanking plate is fitted here as standard. The USB II
option kit is available from Allen & Heath. Refer to OPTIONS later in this
guide.
