20. AUX Stereo Return Control
(AM220 / AM220P)
This control adjusts the signal level of
the audio fed through the AUX stereo
return inputs, which will be added to
the main stereo mix.
21. 2T Return Controls
Push either one of the buttons in the
2T return control section selects the
destination of the 2T return signal. The uppermost button
("to Main") sends the signal to the Main stereo mix, whereas
the lower button (either "to Phones" or "to Ctrl Rm") sends
the signal to the Phones or Control Room/Phones mixes,
respectively. These buttons can be used simultaneously,
feeding the signal to both the Main mix and the Control
Room/Phones mixes. If the "to Phones" or "to Ctrl Rm"
button is not pushed in, the Phones and Control Room
outputs will receive the main stereo mix as the 2T return
signal has priority over this signal.
22. Phantom Power Switch
When this switch is in the on position it activates +48V of
phantom power for microphone inputs, allowing condenser
microphones to be used on these channels.
NB. Phantom Power should be used in conjunction with condenser
microphones only. Do not engage Phantom Power if a condenser
microphone is not being used to avoid causing damage to the
mixer's circuitry.

23. Phones (CTRL RM/PHONES) Control
On the AM120 MKIII, this control is used to adjust the audio
20
level of the phones feed, to be sent to the Phones output.
This can then be used in conjunction with headphones
or, if required, as an auxiliary output. On the AM220 and
21
AM220P, however, this output control not only controls the
phones level, but also the signal level sent to the Control
Room outputs. Control Room outputs can be used for
monitoring, as side fill, or for the addition of external input
devices.
24. 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. The AM120
MKIII features a rotary style of level control, whereas the
AM220 and AM220P feature 60 mm faders.
25. Level Meter
The AM series' 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 uppermost LED
flashes only occasionally (and perhaps a pinch below that).
The AM120 MKIII, AM220 and AM220P all feature dual
4-segment level indicators.
26. Power Indicator
The power indicator will light up when the power of the
mixer is on.
