4. Connectors

Let's begin with the rear panel where the majority of inputs and outputs
arelocated.

4.1 Power supply

IEC receptacle

The mains connection is a standard IEC receptacle. Anappropriate power cord is
supplied with the unit.

FUSE HOLDER

Before connecting the unit to the mains, ensure that the voltage setting matches
your local voltage. Blown fuses should only be replaced by fuses of the same type
and rating. Please also read the information given in chapter “Specications.”

POWER

Use the POWER switch to turn on the mixing console. The POWER switch
should always be in the “O” position when you are about to connect your
unitto the mains.

To disconnect the unit from the mains, pull out the main cord plug.
Wheninstalling the product, ensure that the plug is easily accessible.
Ifmountingin a rack (XL1600 only), ensure that the mains can be easily
disconnected by a plug pull or by an all-pole disconnect switch on or near
therack.

◊ Please note: The POWER switch does not fully disconnect the unit from

the mains. To disconnect the unit from the mains, pull out the main
cord plug or appliance coupler. When installing the product, ensure the
plug or appliance coupler is readily operable. Unplug the power cord
when the unit is not used for prolonged periods of time.

4.2 Mono inputs

MIC

The balanced XLR input connec ts to microphones, DIboxesand multicores.
(Multicores are cables that have multiple cores and which run from the so-called
stagebox to the mixer.)

◊ Connect the microphone and mute all mixer outputs before turning on

the phantom power to avoid noise when the microphone is turned on.
Please wait for about one minute when switching on the mic until the
voltage is stable. Only then turn on the input amplification.

◊ Caution! Never use unbalanced XLR connectors (pins 1 and

3 interconnected) on the MIC input jacks, if you want to use
phantom power.

+48 V

Phantom power is used for operating a capacitor microphone. A control
LED lights up next to the switch when the phantom power supply is active.
Additionalcontrol LEDs are located in each Trim section of the mixer's
channels. As a rule, dynamic microphones can still be used with phantom
power, providedthey are wired in a balanced conguration. In case of doubt,
contactthemicrophone manufacturer!

SERIAL NUMBER

This is the serial number of the mixing console.

LINE

This is a ¼" jack connector which connects to line-level signal sources
(forexample, keyboards, CD players and wireless microphone receivers).
The input is balanced (TRS connector) but can also be used with unbalanced
connectors (TS connector).

10 XENYX XL3200/XL2400/XL1600 User Manual

INSERT

The INS(ert) connector (¼" stereo jack connector) is used to connect to external
signal processors. Here you can hook up a compressor, noise gate or equalizer to
process the signal of a single channel. The insert jack is placed before the fader,
EQ and aux send. Please use an insert cable to connect to the insert point.

DIRECT OUT

This ¼" mono jack connector is a direct output which taps the signal after the
channel fader to route it to a multi-track recorder, for example. By modifying the
circuit board in the unit, the signal can also be tapped pre-fader (see chapter 6).

4.3 Stereo inputs

LINE L (MONO), LINE R

The stereo channels consist of two line inputs (¼" jacks), one for the left and
one for the right channel. The inputs are balanced (TRSconnectors), but it is also
possible to connect to unbalanced plugs (TS connectors). These channels can also
be used as mono channels by connecting to the jack labeled “L” (left).

INSERT

Like the channel inserts, the INS(ert) connectors can be usedto hook up a
dynamics processor or equalizer for further processing of the mix signal on OUT A.

4.5 Subgroup connectors

GROUP OUT 1 - 4

These four GROUP OUTS 1 – 4 carry the signals of the individual subgroups.
Formulti-tracking connect the outputs to the inputs of a multi-track recorder.

INSERT

Each subgroup has an insert jack which is labeled INS. Here you can connect to
a noise gate, compressor or equalizer to process the subgroup signal as a whole.
For example, route your background vocalists to one subgroup bus and then use
a compressor to bring the vocals closer together. This makes it sound more like a
choir rather than a group of individual soloists. The insert point is placed before
the group fader, allowing the dynamics processors (noise gate, compressor, etc.)
to be optimally used and not aected by changes in volume level of the group
fader. Please use an insert cable to connect to the insert point.

SPEAKERS

MIC

The stereo channels also consist of XLR inputs for connecting to microphones
DIboxes and multicores.

+48 V

This is the phantom power for operating capacitor microphones along with the
control LED located next to the switch and in the Trim section of the stereo channels.

4.4 Main mix outputs

OUT A

The OUT A outputs are balanced XLR connectors with a nominal operating level of
+4 dBu and provide the main mixsignal.

The SPEAKERS outputs provide the same signal as the headphone outputs.
Usethese outputs to hook up monitor speakers. This is helpful when the mixing
console is not located close the performance but in a separate room, such as a TV
control room. It is also possible to hook up a stage monitor, ideally one identical
to the monitors being used on stage, to listen in on the sound as perceived from
the stage monitors.

4.6 CD/tape connectors

IN

The CD/TAPE input connectors are used to hook up CD players, tapedecks or other
line-level sources.

OUT

The CD/TAPE output connectors provide the stereo main mix signal to a tape deck
or DAT recorder to record your mix. The signal is taken pre-fader so that it will not
be inuenced by the fader positions.

OUT B

The OUT B outputs provide the MAIN B signal the volume level of which can
becontrolled.

11 XENYX XL3200/XL2400/XL1600 User Manual

4.7 FX/Mon/Aux sends

FX 1 and 2

The FX outputs 1 and 2 provide the signals of the eects buses 1 and 2.
Thesesignals may be sent to external eects processors and are routed back over
the AUX-RETURN inputs or separate input channels, for example.

MON 1 and 2

The monitor outputs 1 and 2 provide the signals of the monitor buses.
Thesesignals may be be sent to stage loudspeakers. To prevent interference due
to the long cables being used between stage and mixing console, the outputs
are balanced XLR connectors. What's more, youhave the right connectors when
working with multicores.

5. Control Elements

This chapter describes the various control elements of your mixing console.
Eachcontrol and switch is explained in full detail.

5.1 Mono channels

AUX 1 and 2

The AUX outputs 1 and 2 provide the signals of the AUX buses 1 and 2.
Youcanswitch these buses pre-fader and post-fader so that they may be
usedforeects as well as for monitor applications.

4.8 Aux returns

AUX RETURN

The stereo AUX inputs 1 und 2 let you connect the mixer to additional equipment
(players,eectsprocessors, submixers, etc.). Thesignal is sent to the signal sum.

FX RETURN

The stereo FX RETURN connectors 1 and 2 are linked to the outputs of external
eects processors. Depending on the routing, the signals are sent to the
subgroup or the main mix bus.

4.9 Light and headphone connectors

+48 V

This control LED lights up as long as the phantom power is switched on.
Theswitch is found on the rear panel of the unit.

Trim

The TRIM control adjusts the input gain.

◊ Be sure to set this control fully counter-clockwise before you connect or

disconnect a signal source to or from one of the inputs.

The dial oers 2 dierent value ranges. The rst value range between 0 and +60
refers to the microphone input, indicatingthe degree of amplication applied to
the input's signal. Thesecond value range between -20 and +40 dB refers to the
amplication of the line input. When centered (at12o'clock), the line signals are
neither boosted nor cut.

80 Hz

Press the 80 Hz switch to activate the high-pass lter which blends out
low-frequency noise (-3 dB at 80 Hz, 18 dB/octave).

Equalization

The mono input channels provide 4-band equalization with 2semi-parametric
mids. You can boost or cut the bands up to 15 dB. When in center position (0 dB),
the equalizer has a atresponse.

LAMPS

The LAMPS plugs are for connecting gooseneck lamps with BNC connectors.
Thepower supply is 12 V _ and the total connection load is 5 Watts a lamp.

PHONES

The PHONES outputs (¼" stereo jacks) let you plug in your headphones.

HIGH

The high-frequency range is processed with a shelving lter above 12 kHz.

HIGH MID

A semi-parametric peak lter processes the upper mid range between 400 Hz
and 8 kHz. The FRE control selects the frequency which is boosted or cut by using
the HIGH MID control.

12 XENYX XL3200/XL2400/XL1600 User Manual

LOW MID

A second semi-parametric peak lter processes the upper mid range. TheFREQ
control selects the frequency which is boosted or cut by using the HIGHMIDcontrol.

LOW

The low-frequency range is processed with a shelving lter below 80 Hz.

EQ

The EQ push-button switch activates the equalizer. Toggle the EQ to give you a
quick comparison between unprocessed and processed signal.

5.1.1 FX, MON, AUX send paths

AUX

The aux buses are used as additional, exible send paths for various applications.

The AUX control adjusts the volume level of the channel signal in the aux buses.

The sum of all aux signals is determined by the corresponding AUX SEND control
found in the main section. The signals can be routed from the corresponding
AUXSEND outputs. Both the aux send paths can be amplied up to +15 dB and
are pre-fader and post-fader switchable in the main section.

Pre-fader or post-fader:

For most applications using external eects signals, the aux send path should be
switched to post-fader so that the eects volume level in a channel is aected by
the position of the channel fader. If not, the eects signal would be audible even
with a pulled down fader. For monitoring applications, the aux send paths are
usually switched to pre-fader and therefore are not aected by the channel fader.
To oer you the utmost exibilit y, the FX buses can be switched to pre-fader in
each channel. What's more, you may switch the AUX buses in the main section
between pre-fader and post-fader. This gives you a maximum of 6 pre-fader
buses or, alternatively, 4 post-fader plus 2 pre-fader buses.

5.1.2 Channel fader, pan control, mute control, etc.

The send paths FX, MON and AUX allow you to tap the signals of one or more
channels and route them to other outputs. This way you can create individual mixes
for eects (FX) and musicians performing on stage (MON). Using the FX/MON/AUX
send outputs, the mix is fed to the stage loudspeakers and eectsunits.

FX 1 and FX 2

The FX buses are used as send paths to external eects units. The signal is usually
tapped after the channel fader and therefore is aected by the position of the
channel fader.

The FX control adjusts the volume level of the channel signal to the eects unit.

PRE

Press the PRE switch to change the routing of both eects paths from

“post-fader” to “pre-fader.” This way the volume level of the eects signal is not

aected by the channel fader.

Both the FX control on the channel and the corresponding Master FX SEND control
need to be fully turned up as well. Connect the FX Send output to the input of the
eects unit. The eects signal is routed back through the FX Returns found in the
master section.

Monitor 1 and 2:

The monitor buses are used as send paths to stage monitors. The monitor sends
are hardwired pre-fader. This means the volume level of the monitor mix is not
aected when using the channel fader.

The MON control adjusts the volume level of the channel signal in the
monitorbuses.

PAN

The PAN control determines the position of the channel signal in the stereo mix
as well as the subgroup to which the channel signal is routed.

MUTE

The MUTE switch mutes the channel. This means that the channel signal has been
removed from the main mix and subgroups. At the same time the FX, monitor
and aux paths of the respective channel are muted as well. The corresponding
MUTE LED indicates that the channel has been muted.

SOLO

Use the solo function to listen in on a channel. Press the channel's SOLO switch
to hear the signal on your headphones. Simultaneously, the monitor meter ½
switches to the solo signal, allowing you to level the signal correctly (see chapter
X). The signal to be listened in on is tapped either before (PFL, mono) or behind
(AFL,stereo) the channel fader and the pan control (depending on the state of
the PFL/AFL switch. Thecorresponding LED lights up when the solo function
isactivated.

13 XENYX XL3200/XL2400/XL1600 User Manual

CLIP

The CLIP LED lights up as soon as the channel's level is too high. In this case,
reduce the channel's input amplication with the TRIM control.

SIG

The SIG LED lights up when a channel's signal is higher than -20 dB. The LED is
not aected by the fader. The signals are indicated even when the fader is pulled
down and the channel is muted.

Fader

The channel fader adjusts the level of the channel signal as part of the main mix
(or submix).

1-2, 3-4, MIX

The routing switch routes the signal to the respective subgroup or the main mix
or both. The XENYX features 4 subgroups. The PAN control determines the group
to which the signal is routed (fully left: Sub 1 or 3, fully right: Sub 2 or 4).

5.2 Stereo channels

5. 2.1 Equalizer stereo channels

The stereo channels provide 4-band equalization. Each frequency band can be
boosted and cut up to 15 dB and has a at response when the controls are in
center position.

HIGH

The HIGH control of the EQ section adjusts the high-frequency range of the
respective channel. This is a shelving lter which boosts and cuts the frequencies
above 12 kHz.

+48 V

This control LED lights up when the phantom power is activated. The switch is
located on the rear panel of the unit.

MIC TRIM

The MIC TRIM control adjusts amplication of the microphone input.
Theamplication ranges between 0 and +60 dB.

◊ Be sure to set this control fully counter-clockwise before you connect or

disconnect a signal source to or from one of the inputs.

80 Hz

Press the 80 Hz switch to activate the high-pass lter which blends out
low-frequency noise (-3 dB at 80 Hz, 18 dB/octave).

LINE TRIM

The LINE TRIM control adjusts the amplication of the LINE input,
rangingbetween -20 and +20 dB. When centered (at 12 o'clock),
thelinesignalisneither boosted nor cut.

HIGH MID

The HIGH MID control adjusts the mid frequency range. Thisisapeak lter which
boosts and cuts the frequencies centered at3 kHz.

LOW MID

The LOW MID control adjusts the mid frequency range. Thisisapeak lter which
boosts and cuts the frequencies centered at 300Hz.

LOW

The LOW control adjusts the low-frequency range. This is a shelving lter which
boosts and cuts the frequencies below 80 Hz.

EQ

The EQ push-button switch activates the equalizer. Toggle the EQ to give you a
quick comparison between unprocessed and processed signal.

5.2.2 Stereo channel FX/MON/AUX send paths

The aux and FX paths of the stereo channels work in principle the same way as
the mono channels. Since the aux buses are mono, the stereo signal needs to be
converted to a mono signal before being routed to these buses.

5.2.3 Channel fader, pan control, mute switch, etc.

BAL(ANCE)

The BAL(ANCE) control has the same func tion as the PAN control on the mono
channels. It determines the relative volume of the left and right input signals
before they are routed to the stereo main mix bus (or to two subgroups).

MUTE

Use the MUTE switch to mute the channel signal. The MUTE LED is illuminated
when the channel is muted

14 XENYX XL3200/XL2400/XL1600 User Manual

SOLO

Press the SOLO switch to hear the signal on your headphones and simultaneously
see it on the monitor display ½). The corresponding LED lights up when the solo
function is activated.

CLIP

The CLIP LED lights up as soon as the channel's level is too high. In this case, turnthe
TRIM control to reduce the channel's input amplication until the LED goes out.

SIG

The SIG LED lights up when a channel's signal is higher than -20 dB. The LED is
not aected by the fader. The signals are indicated even when the fader is pulled
down and the channel is muted.

Fader

The channel fader governs the level of the channel signal as part of the main
mix(or submix)

1-2, 3-4, MAIN

The routing switch feeds the signal to the respective subgroup or the main mix
or both. Please note that when using the routing switch to route a stereo signal
to the subgroups the balance control needs to be centered so that the signal is
routed to two groups and remains in stereo.

MAIN MUTE

When the MAIN MUTE switch is pressed, all input channels are muted. The MUTE
LED lights up when the MUTE switch is pressed. Only the CD/TAPE signal will be
routed to the main mix. In this way, you can prevent the microphones from picking
up unwanted sounds or noise that would interfere with CD playback during a break.
The main mix and channel faders can remain in their normal positions while playing
back music from CD (usingthe CD/TAPE inputs, so you don’t lose your mix.

MAIN A

Use this high-precision MAIN fader to control the output level of the main mix.

MAIN B

Depending on the settings of the MAIN B section, the level of the Main B output is
aected by the MAIN A fader.

5.4 Level meters

5.3 Main section

5. 3.1 MAIN A section

BAL(ANCE)

Four high-resolution LED meters indicate the levels of the monitor buses' and
mixer sum's output signals. As soon as you have pressed the solo switch on the
mixing console, the monitor LED meter automatically shows the solo signal.
Themaster signal is alwaysindicated.

1 MON 2

The monitor meters indicate the levels of the monitor buses 1 and 2. In solo mode
(SOLO LED lights up) thePFL signal (mono, only left meter) or the AFL signal
(stereo, left and right meter) are shown. Thisdepends on the state of the PFL and
AFL switch inthe solosection.

SOLO

When a SOLO switch is pressed on the mixing console, not only the corresponding
LED lights up, but also the global SOLO LED. This way you can keep a cool head
when mixing live and don't have to check the whole console to see that one
SOLOswitch is active. Simultaneously this LED indicates that the monitor meters
are in solo mode.

MAIN

The high-precision level meter accurately indicates the output signal
level(MAINOUT A).

The BAL(ANCE) control adjusts the mix of the left and right output signal before
both signals are routed to the MAIN A output. This way the left and right volume
level of the mixer sumcan individually be adjusted if necessary.

15 XENYX XL3200/XL2400/XL1600 User Manual

5.5 Subgroups

The XENYX provides 4 subgroups which allow you to feed multiple channels
to mono or stereo mixdowns. Their volume level can be adjusted using the
subgroup faders. For example, createa subgroup with all vocal channels or drum
signals and adjust the volume using the subgroup fader. This way you can keep
track and, at the same time, can process the signal with a compressor via the
subgroup insert.

SIG

The SIG LED lights up when a signal is routed to the subgroup whose level is
higher than -20 dB.

◊ The signal and clip LEDs are not affected by the fader. The signals are

indicated even when the subgroup fader is pulled down.

Fader

The subgroup faders adjust the volume level of the subgroup signal at the
subgroup output. If the MAIN switch is pressed, you can also adjust the
subgroup's volume level in the main mix.

5.6 Further functions of the mastersection

Additionally, you can also use the subgroup outputs as sends for a
multitrackrecorder.

PAN

The PAN control adjusts the position within the stereo image.

MAIN

The MAIN switch routes the subgroup signal to the main mix.

With the PAN control you can adjust the signal to the left side of the stereo
image (PAN turned fully left), to the right side of the stereo image (PAN turned
fully right) or to both sides (PAN in center position) of the stereo main mix.
Forexample, when creating a stereo submix with the subgroups 1 and 2, group1
should be adjusted to the left and group 2 to the right side of the main mix in
order to maintain a balanced stereo image. In case you have created a mono
submix with only one subgroup, be sure to center the PAN control so that the
signal is not only heard on one side.

SOLO

The SOLO switch routes the subgroup signal to the AFL bus (Solo In Place) orPFL
bus (Pre Fader Listen), so that you can monitor the subgroup signal without
aecting the main or sub output signals. The signal to be monitored is taken
either pre (PFL, mono) or post-subgroup fader (Solo, stereo), depending on the
position of the SOLO/PFL switch. The SOLO LED illuminates when the SOLO switch
is pressed.

5. 6.1 Talkback

The talkback function of the XENYX allows you to communicate with people on
stage. The talkback signal can be routed to the dierent bus outputs.

MIC

CLIP

The CLIP LED lights up as soon as the subgroup signal's level is too high.
Inthiscase, pull down the channels' faders routed to this group.

Here you can plug in the microphone for talkback use.

LEVEL

The LEVEL control adjusts the volume level of the talkbacksignal.

16 XENYX XL3200/XL2400/XL1600 User Manual

MON, AUX, GROUP, MAIN

These push-button switches (MON, AUX, GROUP and MAIN) determine to which
outputs and buses the talkback signal is to be routed. Then, turn on the talkbalk
microphone. Pressand hold down the push-button switch while speaking into
themicrophone.

5.6.2 SOLO

SOLO LEVEL

The SOLO LEVEL control adjusts the volume level of all solo signals routed to the
headphone and loudspeaker outputs.

PFL/AFL

Press the PFL/AFL switch to change the solo functionality from PFL mono
(pre-fader listen) to AFL stereo. The LED next to the switch indicates the selected
state. In PFL mode, the signal is tapped before the fader when pressing the solo
switch. In AFL mode, the signal is tapped behind the fader and in stereo for a
correct positioning within the stereo image.

If you adjust the signal's level with the TRIM control, select the PFL mode so that
the displayed level is not aected by the channel fader.

5.6.3 CD/TAPE

LEVEL

LEVEL

The LEVEL control adjusts the volume level of the signal routed to the
MAINBoutput.

STEREO/MONO

The STEREO/MONO switch changes the Main B signal from mono to stereo
depending on the situation. For example, a mono signal is usually used for a
center cluster.

PRE/POST

The PRE/POST switch is used to determine whether the signal is tapped in front
or behind the MAIN A fader.

5.7 FX master section

The LEVEL control adjusts the signal in the main mix, for example,
whenconnecting the CD/tape inputs to a CD player.

MAIN

Press the MAIN switch to route the CD signal to the main output. The CD signal
remains audible even when the MAIN MUTE switch is pressed. This allows you to
play music during performance breaks.

5.6.4 PHONES/SPEAKER section

The PHONES A/B control adjusts the volume level of the headphone output.

◊ IMPORTANT! High volume levels may damage your hearing and/or

your headphones/loudspeakers. To avoid switch-on/off thumps from
the console and any downstream devices, always make sure that the
power amp(s) or active speaker(s) are the last components that are
switched on and the first to be switched off. Always make sure that the
appropriate volume is set.

SPKR

The Speaker control adjusts the volume level of the SPEAKERS outputs.

SOURCE

The SOURCE push-button switch selects the signal source for the headphone
and loudspeaker outputs (main or CD/TAPE signal). Pressing a solo switch
routes the solo signal to these outputs and is not aected by the SOURCE
push-buttonswitch.

MAIN B section

This section has additional inputs for signals which do not require further signal
processing. Ideally, usethem for signals returning from external eects units.
This is why these inputs are referred to as FX returns. It is possible to route the
eect signals to the monitors and subgroups. This way the stereo channels can be
used for additional stereo signals, such as keyboards, etc., and not for eects
units' signals which require functions like fader, routing, solo and mute.

The mixer sum can also be routed to the MAIN B output which may be connected
to a separate power amplier. This way the sum can be sent to multiple zones
and various loudspeaker groups (for example, center clusters and front lls).
Onemay also want to connect a stereo recording system for live recording.

FX SEND

This is the master FX SEND control for adjusting the volume of all FX send signals
at the corresponding FX send jacks and at the inputs of the built-in eects
processor. Use it to control the master signal of all FX1/FX 2 signals from the
input channels. Whenneither of the FX SEND controls is turned up, theeects
processor will not receive a signal.

17 XENYX XL3200/XL2400/XL1600 User Manual

MON

Use the MON controls to add an eect signal to the monitor buses 1 and 2.
Forthis application, the eects unit needs a signal: turn up the respective master
FXSEND control and the FX send controls on the channel strips (34) and pull up
the channel faders.

1-2, 3-4

These selector switches route the eec t signal to the main mix or to the subgroups
1-2 or 3-4. For example, if you create a subgroup for a choir, you need to feed the
eect, which processes the vocal signal, to the same subgroup so that all signals
can be adjusted equally. In this case it doesn't mat ter that the FX sends are routed
post-fader as long as the choir's volume level is adjusted with the subgroup fader.
Otherwise, the eect signal is perceived as unaected in the main mix.

MUTE

The MUTE switch mutes the eect return path. Use this function to deactivate
the reverb eect of a vocalist who makes announcements between songs.
Thecorresponding MUTE LED indicates that the channel is muted.

SOLO

Press the SOLO switch to listen in on the eect signal on the
headphones/speakers as well as see it on the monitor meter ½.
Thecorresponding LED lights up when the solo function is activated.

FX RETURN

The FX return fader adjusts the volume level of the returned eect signal in the
main mix and subgroups (this depends on the routing switch you have pressed).

MUTE

Each monitor send has a MUTE switch and MUTE LED.

SOLO

For acoustic control of the stage sound, use the SOLO switch to feed the monitor
signal to the headphone and speaker output. If you connect the speaker output to
a monitor that is identical with the monitor speakers on stage, you can tell how
the stage sound is perceived.

5.9 AUX master section

This section is split up in an aux send section (lef t side) and an aux return
section(right side). The aux send paths 1 and 2 can individually be switched from
pre-fader to post-fader depending on whether you want to use them as monitor
or eect signal paths. As with all outputs, both aux master outputs feature 10 dB
headroom as well as a MUTE and SOLO switch.

In the aux return section, you can adjust the signals of the devices (CD player,
eects unit, submixer, etc.) connected to the aux inputs which are then routed to
the monitor buses and the main mix.

PRE/POST

5.8 Monitor send section

The monitor send section merges the monitor signals of all channels. Thenthe
mix is sent to the monitor outputs. The monitor fader provides precise
adjustment and optical control of the monitor outputsignals.

This is the global PRE/POST switch for the aux buses. For utmost exibility,
eachAUX bus can individually be switched from pre-fader to post-fader.

AUX SEND

The Master AUX SEND controls 1 and 2 adjust the signals' volume level of the
respective aux send connector. This way you adjust the sum of the AUX 1 and
AUX2 signals on the input channels.

MUTE

The MUTE switch mutes the aux outputs.

SOLO

The aux send signals can individually be listened to using the SOLO function.

MON

A signal sent from AUX RETURN can be added to the stage mix using the
MONcontrol.

AUX RETURN

The AUX RETURN controls adjust the volume level of the aux return signals in the
main mix.

SEND

The SEND faders control the output level of the monitor buses. Each fader is
60mm long and features 10 dB headroom.
