SRC |
® 4018 FC, 4026 FC and 4034 FC |
The SRC |
® 4026 FC, 4034 FC and 4018 FC are versatile four-bus consoles in 18, 26 and 34 channel |
versions, built into road-worthy cases. Designed for sound reinforcement applications, they can also be used in multitrack recording.
The standard channels feature discrete low-noise mic preamps with globally-switched 48V phantom
power, low-cut filters, and four-band EQs. There are six auxiliary sends (four dedicated pre-EQ for monitor sends, two switchable pre-EQ/post-fader for monitor or effect sends), as well as bus assign (L/R, 1/2, 3/4), mute and PFL switches. The PFL logic automatically shifts the L/R meters to the PFL signal when any PFL button is pressed to assist in input gain adjustment and operates even when the channel
is muted. The mute circuitry squelches all sends from the channel, including all auxiliary sends and bus sends.
Two “super” mic channels also have pad and polarity switches for those applications that require it, as well as the standard channel functions. There are no line inputs on these channels. In addition to the mic channels, there are two stereo (line level) channels for tape, CD or synth inputs. These have all the standard channel functions except low-cut filters. AUX 5 and AUX 6 on these channels are
configured for stereo (AUX 5 is Left, AUX 6 is Right) and are pre-EQ/post-fader switchable.
There are four fully-assignable stereo returns with PFL and mute, two of which have treble and bass controls. They can be used for effect returns or for additional stereo inputs. A dual function headphone/control-room level control sets the volume of the headphones and the output level at the control room output jacks. RCA type stereo tape inputs and outputs are provided, with sends to the
main L/R mix and the AUX 1 and 2 (monitor) mixes. A talkback mic input can be also be assigned to the main mix or to AUX 1-4 for announcements or stage communication.
All bus summing amps are designed with discrete transistor circuitry for low noise operation. A unique gain structure gives an additional 6 dB channel fader and summing amp headroom over other designs.
The Left, Right, and four sub-mix master outputs each have LED meters. They are calibrated for a 0 dB reading at a +4 dBu output level. A balanced mono output (derived from the post fader Left and Right outputs) has its own level control. Each channel, stereo return, and master AUX send has an overload LED indicator that illuminates when the signal level is within 2 dB of clipping or when the PFL switch is activated. Electronic muting of the AUX and the Left and Right outputs greatly reduce any turn on and turn off transients.
Two lamp connectors are provided for Peavey ML |
™ -2 or ML ™ -3 flexible lamps to illuminate the console |
in dark environments. |

connected through a 10 dB pad to the Mic Input (#2). The two inputs cannot |
|
|
|
|
|
|
be used simultaneously. |

|
low-level source. Pin 2 is the positive input. Because of the wide range of gain |
|
|
|
|
|
|
adjustment, signal levels as high as +10 dBu (2.45 V RMS) can be accommodated. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
This connector has 48V on pins 2 and 3 (pin 1 is the ground reference) when |
|
|
|
|
|
|
the phantom power is enabled. (See note on #23.) |
3. Insert
3
1/4" stereo (TRS) jack allows an external device to be inserted into the signal path before the EQ. The tip has the send signal, the ring is the return input. A
switch in the jack normally connects the send to the return until a plug is inserted.

5
This is a low-cut filter with a corner frequency of 75 Hz used to filter out rumble, wind noise, breath thumps, stage noise and other low-frequency components
that rob power from the amplifiers and muddy the signal. The pre-EQ signals sent to the AUX sends are picked up after this switch so that the monitors can also benefit from this filter.
6. Hi EQ
A shelving type of active tone control that varies the treble frequency levels
±15 dB at 12 kHz. It is designed to remove noise or to add brilliance to the signal, depending on the quality of the source.
7.Hi/Mid EQ
A bandpass (peak/notch) type of active tone control that varies the upper mid-
range frequency levels ±15 dB at 3.1 kHz. This frequency is optimum for bringing out the clarity of a vocal mic without adding harshness or grit, or can reduce high frequency feedback.
8.Low/Mid EQ
A bandpass (peak/notch) type of active tone control that varies the lower mid-
range frequency levels ±15 dB at 250 Hz. A slight cut in this frequency will usually help a mic that has a proximity effect to become more intelligible in close talking situations. It will also be useful to solve common feedback problems.
9. Low EQ
A shelving type of active tone control that varies the bass frequency levels ±15 dB at 70 Hz. It will add depth to thin signals or clean up muddy ones.

16. PFL/Clip LED
A dual-function LED that illuminates when the signal level is nearing the overload point, or if the PFL switch is engaged. This circuit monitors the input gain,
that gain or EQ boost should be reduced. (There is roughly 2 dB of headroom remaining when it lights.) When the PFL switch (#18) is depressed, it lights continuously to indicate that this channel has been assigned to the PFL mix.
17. Mute
Mutes the entire channel (all bus assignments and all AUX sends). The PFL signal is not affected, and can be used to adjust the channel’s level while muted.
18. PFL
Connects the channel’s pre-fader signal to the PFL mix and switches the headphone/control room source from the L-R mix to the PFL mix. It also connects the PFL signal to the L-R meters to aid in the setting the input gain (#4). The
PFL/Clip LED (#16) will light when this switch is pressed to identify the PFL source.
19. Assignment Switches
Selects the channel’s bus assignments (L-R, 1-2, 3-4) in pairs. The stereo postion of the signal in the selected pair is determined by the Pan control (#13).
20. Channel Fader
Channel output level control. Sets the level sent to the Assign Switches (#19). The optimum setting for this control is the “0” (unity gain) position.
Page 5
21. Pad
Attenuates the input signal by 10 dB. This will increase the dynamic range to accommodate a higher input level before clipping which may be necessary when close miking loud guitar amplifiers or drum kits.
22. Polarity
Reverses the polarity of the input signal. This will compensate for an out-of-phase input that would otherwise cause frequency cancellations in the mix. (Often needed for drum mics where both sides of the drum head are picked up in multiple microphone
situations.)

37. Stereo Returns 1 & 2
These are basic stereo input channels with level, pan, mute, PFL, and assignment switches. An LED that indicates both clipping and PFL is the same as that on the input channels. These inputs are line level and can be used for effect returns, tape inputs, or for slave mixer inputs.
38. Stereo Returns 3 & 4
Similar to the Stereo Returns 1 & 2, these two returns have treble and bass controls in addition to mono sends to the AUX 1 and AUX 2 mixes. These returns can be used as additional stereo input channels. (See #37.)
These are the main faders that set the level of the left and right mix (both balanced and unbalanced). The output levels are monitored by the left and right meters. The optimum setting for these controls is the “0” (unity gain) position.

45. Talkback Level
39. Tape Out Level
Sets the level of the main left and right stereo signal
sent to the tape output jack. It is post master fader.
40. Tape Input/Output
One half of this stereo RCA phono jack provides a signal for the recording inputs of a stereo tape deck, with an amplitude set by the Tape Output Level
control (#39). The other half accepts a stereo input (nominally -10 dBu) from the output of a tape deck or CD player.
Caution: The tape output signal includes the tape input signal, which can cause feedback if the Tape Input
Level (#41) is turned up while recording on a single machine that is connected to both the tape output
and tape input jacks.
41. Tape Input Level
Adjusts the level of the tape signal (#40) supplied to the L-R mix and to the AUX 1 & 2 buses.
42. Tape Assign
Adds a mono sum of the tape signal to the AUX 1 & 2 mixes. This can be used to send the tape signal to monitors for soundtrack monitoring. The tape signal is always assigned to the L-R mix, regardless of this switch’s position.
43. Talkback Assign
Selects which outputs will have the talkback mic signal (L-R or AUX 1-4) for house or monitor feeds.
44. Talkback Enable
Press and hold to engage the talkback mic. The output is directed according to the assignment selection. (See #43.)
Adjusts the level of the talkback mic. This affects the feed to the L-R and AUX 1-4.
46. PFL Master Level
Sets the level of the PFL mix that is sent to the headphone/control room level control. Functions only when PFL is active. (See #47.)
47. PFL Active
This LED illuminates when the PFL is active and its signal is overriding the standard L-R mix in the headphone and control room outputs and at the L-R meters. The signals that are present in
the PFL mix can be seen by the individual LEDs lit.
48. Headphone/Control Room Level
Adjusts the volume of the headphone and control room outputs. The output changes from the L-R mix (post fader) to the PFL mix whenever the PFL is active.

AUX Send
Output jack of the corresponding AUX mix. It is unbalanced, and can be used to feed an external monitor system or effect unit. The level is set by the AUX Master Level (#26) and the individual channel level control (see #10, 11).
tereo Return
High impedance input for line level signals. The left/mono input supplies signal to both the left and right inputs if there is no input connected to the right input jack.
Out
Output of the corresponding sub mix. It is unbalanced, with its output level set by the sub fader (#35).
Insert
1/4" stereo (TRS) jack which allows an external device to be inserted into the signal path before the
sub fader. The tip has the send signal, the ring is the return input. A switch in the jack normally connects the send to the return until a plug is inserted. The nominal level is -2 dBu.
Mic Input
Input connector for a low-impedance, balanced microphone used for house or stage communication. Pin 2 is the positive input. Phantom power is not available at this connector.
Output
This stereo jack (TRS) provides the signal to drive stereo headphones. It changes from the L-R mix to the PFL mix when the PFL is active. The level is set by the Headphone/Control Room Level Control (#48). Tip=Left, Ring=Right, Shield=Ground.
trol Room Output
1/4" left and right unbalanced outputs of the headphone mix to feed the control room monitor amps. The signal is exactly the same as that in the headphones.
Output
1/4" unbalanced and XLR balanced outputs of the Left and Right mixes. The level is set by the master left and right right faders (#36).
Main Insert
1/4" stereo (TRS) jack which allows an external device to be inserted into the signal path before the Master L/R Fader. The tip has the send signal, the ring is the return input. A switch in the jack normally
connects the send to the return until a plug is inserted. The nominal level is -2 dBu.
Mono Output
An XLR balanced output of the mono mix. The level is set by the Mono Level control (#59). Pin 2 is the positive output.
Mono Level
Adjusts the level of the Balanced Mono Output (#58). The signal is a post fader sum of the left and right output signals. The center position is the unity gain setting; 7 dB of gain boost is available.

AC Mains Input |
|
|
|
Connect the line cord to this connector to provide power to the unit. Damage to the equipment may result if |
|
|
|
improper line voltage is used. (See line voltage marking on unit.) |
|
|
|
Line Cord |
|
|
|
For your safety, we have incorporated a 3-wire line (mains) cable with proper grounding facilities. It is not |
|
|
|
advisable to remove the ground pin under any circumstances. If it is necessary to use the equipment without |
|
|
|
proper grounding facilities, suitable grounding adaptors should be used. Less noise and greatly reduced |
|
|
|
shock hazard exists when the unit is operated with the proper grounded receptacles. |
|
|

Lamp Connector |
|
|
|
Two XLR connectors are provided for low-voltage lamps (such as the Peavey ML |
™ -2 |
™ -3) to illuminate the |
|
console in poorly lit environments. Each connector supplies 12V AC at 200ma between pins 1 and 2. The total |
|
|
|
maximum load should not exceed 400ma. These connectors are short-circuit protected, with automatic reset |
|
|
|
when a short is removed. |

|
APPLICATIONS |
The SRC |
® series of mixers were primarily designed for sound reinforcement applications, but are very |
capable recording mixers as well. Here are some typical methods of hook-up:
SOUND REINFORCEMENT |
: |
|
|
|
|
1.Microphones and other low impedance sources are connected to the XLR mic inputs; high level line inputs such as electronic musical instruments are connected to the line inputs. If problems arise because a microphone either picks up an out-of-phase signal (as when using multiple drum microphones), or a very loud signal causes clipping even at a minimum gain setting (as when close miking an amplifier or a drum head), it should
be connected to a channel with pad and polarity switches. Stereo line level sources (synth, tape, CD, etc.) should be connected to one of the stereo channels, or to two of the mono line inputs (one panned left, the other panned right), or to a Return input that is not used for effects.
2.The house power amplifier inputs should be connected to the main Left and Right outputs, or to the Mono output. The Mono output is a blend of the Left and Right output signals (post master fader) and has its own level control. It can be used to drive an additional amplifier that needs an independently set volume.
3.Connect the monitor power amplifier input to the AUX 1, 2, 3 or 4 output. Four monitors are supported, with two additional available, if AUX 5 and 6 are also used for monitors (Pre) and not for effect sends (Post).
4. If an effect device is used, connect its input to the AUX 5 or 6 output. These outputs can also be configured as a stereo pair (AUX 5 is the left, AUX 6 is the right) in the two stereo channels, and can be set up to feed a true stereo effects processor.
5.The effect device outputs are connected to the Return 1, 2, 3 or 4 inputs.
6.Connect a tape recorder to the Tape input and Tape output jacks. Care should be taken not to record on a deck that has its outputs connected to the tape input jacks and have the tape input level control turned up, or nasty
feedback will result. If four-band equalization or a more specialized monitor send is needed, a stereo line channel can be used for tape input (see #1 and #24). Alternatively, a stereo return can be used for tape input. Both Return 3 and 4 have two-band EQ as well as monitor sends (to AUX 1 and 2) and full bus assignment capability.
Page 10
APPLICATIONS (Cont.)
RECORDING:
The connections for recording are very similar to those of the sound reinforcement section above with the following differences:
1. For recording tracks, connect the input sources as described above and use the sub mix sends to
feed the recorder's inputs. For mixdown, the multitrack recorder's outputs are connected to the line inputs and assigned to the L/R mix.
2.Connect the Sub outputs (the Left and Right outputs are included in this group if they are not in use) to the tape recorder inputs. The inserts can be used to patch compressors or EQ into the path. If effects are not being used, AUX 5 and 6 can also be used as sub mixes. If even more outputs are
needed, the individual channel's insert jack can be used for a direct output. It is pre-EQ, pre-fader.
3.Connect the Left and Right outputs to the two-track mixdown deck inputs. If a graphic EQ, compressor/limiter, or enhancer is used, connect it to the Left and Right Insert Jacks.
4.The control room monitor amplifiers are connected to the Control Room Outputs. This is the same
signal that is in the headphone output.
5.Effect device inputs are connected to AUX 5 or 6 outputs. If a stereo send is required, use AUX 5 for left and AUX 6 for right.
6.Effect device outputs are connected to Returns 1, 2, 3, 4 or any unused channel inputs (mono or
stereo). If a channel input is used, make sure that the AUX send being used to feed the effects device is not turned up for that channel or it will output into its own input and awesome feedback will occur.
