Each Stereo Return has 3-band EQ, 2 AUX sends, full Sub-group assignment, 60mm high quality fader and solo system. - FULL TALK-BACK SYSTEM Talk-Back assignment to AUX, Groups, MIX outputs can be selected. Matrix outputs have Talk-Back enable switches. IMX-824/832/840...
80Hz and 12kHz respectively. Its two bell-response MID bands are semi-parametric, meaning that the center frequency of the curve can be varied. The IN switch inserts all four bands into the signal path, which is useful when checking the effectiveness of your EQ settings IMX-824/832/840...

If, for example, you are panning from hard left to center, you will notice a 3dB drop in the left channel as you do so. This “panning law” ensures that signals sound equally loud at all pan positions. IMX-824/832/840...

30k ohms. If using an unbalanced source, please make sure to link Sleeve and Ring together to avoid unwanted noise. 4. MIC INPUT Microphone inputs are on Female XLR. The impedance of this input is approximately 2k ohms. IMX-824/832/840...
High Mid and Low Mid bands have a bell response centered around 3.15kHz and 315Hz respectively. The IN switch inserts all four bands into the signal path, which is useful when checking the effectiveness of your EQ settings. IMX-824/832/840...

Similarly, with the balance control set to hard right only the right signal will be sent to even numbered buses. If, for example, you are panning from hard left to center, you will notice a 3dB drop in the left channel as you do so. This “panning law” ensures that signals sound equally loud at all pan positions. IMX-824/832/840...

XLR connectors. The XLR and TRS connectors for each channel are summed together prior to the input preamplifier. The nominal input impedance of the both XLR and TRS inputs are 10k. IMX-824/832/840...
A professional 100mm fader gives you smooth, high re- solution control over the sub-group level. 7. AFL Connects the sub-group’s Post-Fader signal to mono AFL bus. You can monitor the signal on your phones and the AFL BAR METER. IMX-824/832/840...

IMX-800 SERIES allows either the Aux or Group outputs to use the long-throw faders and inserts. This is done for each output using the FLIP control. Please take care when using this control, as the physical output and insert sockets are also affected by your selection. See above for more details. IMX-824/832/840...

In normal operation, the top XLR connector is the output for the Auxiliary bus, while the lower XLR and INSERT jack are for the Group signal. When the front panel “FLIP” switch is activated, the signals to the connectors are swapped. IMX-824/832/840...
2. MUTE Mutes the After-fader signal of the channel path. Pre-fader signal, which provided to Matrix-PRE path is NOT affected by this switch. 3. MASTER FADER A 100mm stroke fader adjusts the channel signal level continuously from to +10dB. IMX-824/832/840...

Each MIX output has a 1/4” TRS type insert point. The tip is wired to a ground compensated send, unbalanced return is via the ring and sleeve. Nominal I/O level is 0dBu. 3. MIX OUTPUTS MIX L, R and C outputs are on male XLR connectors. IMX-824/832/840...
The PK lamp warns of signal levels approaching the upper headroom limit, which means about 3dB to the clip point. We recommend that you reduce the source’s output level to avoid nasty clipping! 8. BUS ROUTING Connects the channel signal to each of the GROUP and MIX buses. IMX-824/832/840...

1. L / R INPUT A pair of 1/4” TRS jack sockets allow balanced input. Nominal input level can be selected by a level switch on the RETURN section as -10dBv or +4dBu. Input impedance is about 10k ohms. IMX-824/832/840...
6. DESTINATION Selects destination for both the tone generator and the talk- back circuit. 7. TALK BACK This sends the talkback mic signal to the outputs selected in the above routing section. This switch is a PTT (push-to-talk) momentary pushbutton. IMX-824/832/840...

This can be used to monitor the recording of a performance without the danger of creating feedback. Nominal input level is -10dBv. 3. RECORD Standard RCA sockets for stereo consumer audio equipment. This signal is a 2-channel mix of the MIX L/C/R outputs. IMX-824/832/840...
Sleeve (= ground) to both pin-3 and pin-1. Black/LOW White(Red)/HIGH Shield/GND (XLR) DO NOT use unbalanced sources with the phantom power switched on. The voltage on pins 2 & 3 of the XLR connector may cause serious damage. IMX-824/832/840...
