Wendt X3 Operating Instructions

Front Panel

1. Fader Controls — The faders are marked CHANNEL 1, 2 and 3 which correspond to the mic XLR inputs also marked
CHANNEL 1, 2 and 3. These channel faders control the post preamp gain.
2. VU Meters (LED) — The VU meters are LED displays where the 0db LED position is 0db VU and the numbers correspond
to decibel units. The left display is located above Channel 1 fader and the right display is located above Channel 3 fader.
3. Low Cut Filters — The switches marked 140 20 100 insert a 12db per octave hi pass filter in each channel as follows:
the 20 position is a flat response to 20HZ, and the 100 and 140 positions roll off at 100 HZ and 140HZ.
4. Pan Switches — The switches marked L PAN R allow assignment of the individual channels to the left and right mixing
busses. The center position assigns each channel to the right and left mixing busses.
5. Reference Tone — The TONE button when pushed IN (push on/push off switch) enables a 400HZ reference tone oscillator
which provides a 0db VU reference tone to the right and left line outputs. The push button OUT position disables the tone.
6. Slate Mic — The push button switch marked SLATE when pushed in, enables the slate function which is outputted to the
left and right LINE, AUX and LINK outputs.
7. Power Monitor — The LED marked PWR MON slowly cycles on and off under normal power voltage conditions and
turns to a continuous ON when external power or battery voltages are low. Typically when the LED changes to a continuous
ON condition, the time remaining for battery use is 1/2 to 1 hour.
8. Battery Test — The push button switch marked BATT TEST tests the battery or external power source voltage which is
indicated on the right LED VU display. A set of new alkaline batteries will indicate up to and including the 0db position on the
display.
9. Power Switch — The three position POWER switch marked INT OFF EXT allows the mixer to be powered from the
internal (batteries) or an external power source. The center switch position is OFF (no power source is connected).
10. Return-Mix — This switch allows the monitor output (headphones) to receive audio from an external source (RTN) or
internal (mixer).
