ATTENTION!
The following special limitations apply to the console and must be observed in order to maintain safety and electromagnetic compatibility performance:
The console should only be operated with the power supply connected to ground via its mains supply connector.
The console should only be operated with high quality screened control cables. All connector shells should be of metal construction so that they provide a screen when they are plugged into the console. All XLR and DIN connectors should have pin 1 connected to the cable screen.
The console should only be operated with high quality screened twisted pair audio cables. All connector shells should be of metal construction so that they provide a screen when they are plugged into the console. All JACK connector shells should be connected to the cable screen. All XLR connectors should have pin 1 connected to the cable screen.
If the console is operated in an electromagnetic field that is amplitude modulated by an audio frequency signal, the signal to noise ratio may be degraded. Degradation of up to 60dB may be experienced under extreme conditions (3V/m, 90% modulation).

INSTALLATION
There are a number of points to consider when installing a mixing console. Many of these points will have been addressed before the console is even unpacked but it is worth repeating them.
The console should be located in a convenient space commensurate with the use to which the console is being put. Ideally a cool area is preferred not in close proximity to power distribution equipment or other potential sources of interference. Provision should be made for some flat surface surrounding the console to prevent people using it as a table top.
The power supply should be located as far from the console as the connecting cable will allow. It should be set for the appropriate line voltage and plugged into the mains outlet using the supplied cable.
POSITION
POWER
THE POWER SUPPLY SHOULD NEVER BE OPERATED
WITH THE MAINS EARTH DISCONNECTED
Please note that the power supply contains LETHAL VOLTAGES greatly in excess of the mains voltage and that its rails can produce extremely large currents which could burn out equipment and wiring if shorted.All testing and servicing should ONLYbe carried out by qualified engineers.

The INPUT B switch disconnects the main XLR input from the channel and replaces it with the second (B) input. The B input is also an XLR but it is normalled through a ¼ inch jack socket which provides a input for signals which require protection against accidental 48 volt connection. All inputs can be used for Mic or Line level signals and the input B switching facility provides an easy way to activate a back up source for critical
The 48V switch connects 48 volt phantom power to both of the XLR input connectors. This is suitable for a condenser microphone or DI box.
The GAIN control gives continuous adjustment of the input amplifier gain from + 15dB to + 60dB.
The PHASE switch activates a 180 degrees phase change within the input amplifier.
The PAD switch gives 30dB of attenuation to the input signal which will allow the connection of high output microphones or line level signals. If the input amplifier is transformer coupled (option) the pad greatly reduces the risk of saturation at very low frequencies.
The TREBLE (dual concentric top) control gives continuous adjustment of boost and cut from + 15dB to - 15dB with a 0dB centre detent.
The treble FREQ. (dual concentric bottom) control gives continuous adjustment of the frequency range that the treble equaliser acts on from 2K to 20K. The treble equaliser has a shelving response.
The HI MID (dual concentric top) control gives continuous adjustment of boost and cut from + 15dB to - 15dB with a 0dB centre detent.
The hi mid FREQ. (dual concentric bottom) control gives continuous adjustment of the frequency range that the hi mid equaliser acts on from 400Hz to 8K.
The hi mid WIDTH control gives continuous adjustment of bandwidth from 0.1 to 2 octaves with a 0.4 octave centre point.
The lo mid WIDTH control gives continuous adjustment of bandwidth from 0.1 to 2 octaves with a 0.4 octave centre point.
The LO MID (dual concentric top) control gives continuous adjustment of boost and cut from + 15dB to - 15dB with a 0dB centre detent.
The lo mid FREQ. (dual concentric bottom) control gives continuous adjustment of the frequency range that the lo mid equaliser acts on from 100Hz to 2K.
The BASS (dual concentric top) control gives continuous adjustment of boost and cut from + 15dB to - 15dB with a 0dB centre detent.
The bass FREQ. (dual concentric bottom) control gives continuous adjustment of the frequency range that the bass equaliser acts on from 20Hz to 200Hz. The bass equaliser has a shelving response.
The EQ switch connects the equaliser in the input channel signal path.
The HI PASS filter control is continuously adjustable from 20Hz to 400Hz.
The HI PASS switch connects the filter in the input channel signal path before the insert point and equaliser.
The insert PRE switch arranges the input channel signal to pass through the equaliser before the insert point when activated and after the insert point when not activated.

The AUX controls (1 to 10) give continuous adjustment of the level sent from the input channel to the aux busses. The level adjustment is from + 6dB to off.
The aux PRE switches change the signal sent to the aux busses from post fader to pre fader.
Aux send ON/OFF switching is achieved using the console assignment system. A LED next to each aux pot provides indication of status. The assignments may also be stored as part of a snapshot scene. Use of a matrix module in conjunction with the assignment system can provide a useful means to automatically recall alternate feed levels to effects processors from the module.
Aux 7,8,9 and 10 can be configured as stereo level and pan if required by pressing the stereo switch on the appropriate group modules.
When configured as stereo auxes only the right switches are active.

The FADER gives continuous adjustment of the input channel level from + 10dB to off.
The ST switch connects the post fader channel signal to the master stereo bus
The MONO switch connects the post fader channel signal to the mono master bus.
The SIS switch enables the spatial imaging system which operates in conjunction with the pan control to produce a left, centre, right mix. It also acts as a left, centre, right master bus enable overriding any stereo and mono master bus assignments.
The PAN defaults to control the channel placement within the master stereo mix and has a constant power law. i.e. - 3dB at the centre position.
The PAN to groups switch changes all group bus assignments to operate via the stereo pan pot.
The MUTE switch mutes the input channel at all points after the insert send. The switch can be controlled from snapshot automation and by automute scenes.
The recessed AUTOMATION DISABLE switch sets the module to a default routing state with all aux sends ON and all audio group and VCA group assignments OFF. The switch is not intended for normal console operation and it should only be used in the event of local automation failure.
The SAFE switch removes the entire input channel from automute and snapshot automation control. Assignment of audio and VCA buses will continue to operate in the normal way as will VCA master control. This is particularly useful if a guest artist is introduced on a channel that would normally be used for another function.
The METER monitors the peak signal level of the pre fader input channel.
The ASSIGN LEDs are used to show the status of the AUX, VCA, MUTE and AUDIO group assignments. The central controller MODE switches toggle through the four available states.
The SET switch is used to programme the channel AUX, VCA, MUTE and AUDIO assignment. The central controller MODE switches and ASSIGN keys select the desired assignment function and the SET switch toggles the channel on and off with each alternate press.
The SOLO switch sends the input channel signal to the PFL mono and AFL stereo busses. If the switch is pressed for a short time it will latch on or off, but, if it is held on for more than 1 second the latching is disabled and when the switch is released the channel solo will turn off. As a default the solo system is auto cancelling so each new solo cancels the last. The SOLO ADD mode switch on the master module defeats the auto cancelling and allows multiple channel monitoring. In this mode input solos have priority over outputs and will temporarily override any active output solos. If the master module SOLO SIS is enabled the solo buses will switch to LCR operation.

The MONO switch connects the post fader channel signal to the mono master bus.
The LEFT TO BOTH switch takes the left input and routes it to all left and right outputs; cutting the right input signal.
The RIGHT TO BOTH switch takes the right input and routes it to all left and right outputs; cutting the left input signal. Pressing both of the above
The BALANCE (pan) control is used to balance the relative levels of the left and right channel signals that are sent to the master stereo mix. The control has a constant power law, i.e. 0dB at the centre position and + 3dB or off at either extreme setting.
The PAN to groups switch changes all group bus assignments to operate via the stereo balance control. When the switch is off the group assignments remain in stereo but without the balance trim facility.
The MUTE switch mutes the input channel at all points after the insert send. The switch can be controlled from snapshot automation and by automute scenes.

The METER monitors the peak signal level of the post fader sub group outputs and the BUS PEAK LED indicates that signals are near clipping on the sub group bus (pre insert signals).
The METER TO AUX switch moves the meter and peak LED to monitor aux signals in place of the sub group signals.
The TALK switch connect the master module talkback systems to the individual aux send busses. The master module can route it's oscillator, pink noise, external input or talk mic.
The PHASE switch activates a 180 degrees phase change within the post fader aux signal path. This will effect the post fader feeds to the matrix as well as the main aux outputs.
The MUTE switch mutes the aux post level control signals. The switch can be controlled from snapshot automation.
The SAFE switch removes the aux mute from snapshot automation control.
The aux LEVEL control gives continuos adjustment of output levels from +10dB to off.
The SOLO switch sends the aux signal to the PFL mono and AFL stereo busses. If the switch is pressed for a short time it will latch on or off, but, if it is held on for more than 1 second the latching is disabled and when the switch is released the channel solo will turn off. As a default the solo system is auto cancelling so each new solo cancels the last. The SOLO ADD mode switch on the master module defeats the auto cancelling and allows multiple channel monitoring. In this mode input solos have priority over outputs and will temporarily override any active output solos.
The FADER SWAP switch swaps the group output faders and aux master rotary controls along with their solo and mute switches. Connections for inserts and XLR outputs are unaffected.
