MON SEND

The aux send control MON SEND acts as master control for the monitor bus

and determines the level of the summed signal that is taken from the mixer

via the MON SEND connector and that can for example be fed to an amplier

for monitor purposes.

Using the audio signal from this output, you can also feed a subwoofer if you

don’t require stage monitors. To this end, you should implement a crossover in

your signal path pre-subwoofer and pre-amplier, so that only low frequencies

are fed into the subwoofer. You can achieve the same eect by using the built-in

graphical equalizer. Lower all frequencies above 160 Hz and assign the equalizer

to “Monitor”.

◊ When you use the MAIN MIX fader to reduce the overall volume,

keep in mind that the subwoofer is still receiving a signal!

FX TO MON

You can use this control to insert an eects signal from the built-in eects

processor to your monitor mix. Of course, to do this, your eects processor must

rst receive a signal, i.e. the FX controls in the channel strips must be turned up,

and the FX SEND fader (see g. 2.6) hast to be open.

MON MUTE

If the MON MUTE switch is pressed, the monitor bus is muted, i.e. there is

no signal at the MON SEND connector.

FX SEND

The FX SEND fader determines the overall level of the eects bus. Both external

eects processors (via the FX SEND connector) and the built-in processor only

receive an input signal if this control is open.

FX TO MAIN

Use the FX TO MAIN control to feed the eects signal into the main mix.

If the control is turned all the way to the left, no eects signal can be heard.

FX MUTE

If the FX MUTE switch is pressed, the eects channel is muted, i.e. no signal is

present at the FX SEND connector and the eects processor no longer receives

an input signal.

2.3.2 Monitor send and FX send connector

Fig. 2.7: Aux send connectors MON and FX

MON SEND

Connect the input of your monitor power amp or an active monitor system here

to make the monitor mix audible to the musicians on the stage. The signal mix is

created using the channels’ MON controls.

FX SEND

The FX SEND connector outputs the signal you picked up from the individual

channels using the FX controls. You can connect this to the input of an external

eects device in order to process the FX bus’ master signal. Once an eects mix is

created, the processed signal can then be routed from the eects device outputs

back into the AUX RETURN connectors.

◊ If the connected effects processor receives no input signal,

the FX MUTE switch is probably pressed and/or the FX SEND control

is too low. This also goes for the built-in effects processor.

◊ Adjust your external effects processor to 100% wet (effects signal

only), because the effects signal is added to the main mix along with

the “dry” channel signals.

2.3.3 Aux return connectors

Fig. 2.8: Aux return connectors

AUX RETURN 1

The AUX RETURN 1 connectors generally serve as the return path for the eects

mix generated using the FX send. This is where you connect the output signal

of the external eects device. If only the left connector is used, the aux return 1

automatically operates in mono.

◊ You can also use these connectors as additional line inputs.

AUX RETURN 2

The AUX RETURN 2 connectors are used exactly the same way as the AUX RETURN 1

connectors. If these connectors already function as additional inputs, you can

route the eects signal back into the console via a dierent stereo channel,

with the added benet that the channel EQ can be used to adjust the frequency

response of the eects return signal.

◊ In this instance, the FX control of the channel being used as an effects

return should be turned fully counter-clockwise, otherwise feedback

problems can occur!

2.3.4 CD/tape return channel, voice canceller and

connection socket

Fig. 2.9: CD/tape return channel

This channel, intended especially for connecting stereo signal sources

(CD players, DAT recorders or even sound cards) features a particularly

practical feature: the VOICE CANCELLER.
