18. MONITOR OUTPUT

The front MONITOR output is the same signal that feeds the

internal MONITOR amp. Use this balanced 1/4” output to

feed additional power amps, etc..

19. DSP EFFECTS PROCESSOR

A 24-Bit processor provides a host of great sounding effects

including Flange, Reverb, Echo, & Chorus.

The channel EFF  send control delivers the signals to the

processors.Note: Reduce these levels if the red PEAK LEDs

are flashing on the processors.  

Turn up the MAIN effects control to add your effects to the

MAIN outputs. Adjust the SELECT and the PARAMETER con-

trols to get the desired effect. Note: An audible noise will be

heard while adjusting the effects.

A)  ECHO: SELECT the amount of the regeneration (repeat-

ing).  Now select the PARAMETER control for the shortest or

longest delay time between the original signal and the echo.

B)  REVERB: SELECT the amount of presence (high frequen-

cies) in the reverb. Now turn the PARAMETER control to pro-

vide the minimum or maximum decay.

C)  CHORUS: SELECT the amount of reverb with your chorus.

Now turn the PARAMETER control to increase the depth.

D)  FLANGE: SELECT the amount of speed with your flange

(phasing effect). Now turn the PARAMETER control to

increase the depth.

20. EFFECTS PEAK LED’s

The PK LED indicates that the signal level to the processor is

too high.  To prevent distortion, turn the EFF control towards

the “0” (off) position until the PK LED stops flashing.

21. MAIN EFFECTS CONTROL

The MAIN EFFECTS level controls the amount of the effects

that go to your MAIN outputs.

22. MONITOR EFFECTS LEVEL

The  MONITOR EFFECTS level controls the amount of the

effects that go to your MONITORS.

23. MUSIC BREAK SWITCH / LED

The MUSIC BREAK feature turns off all inputs, except for chan-

nel 6. This is useful during breaks. This allows pre-recorded

music to be played through the TAPE IN jacks. The channel 6

MIC/LINE inputs are left active for announcements or solo

acts. The remaining input channels (1-5) are turned OFF

eliminating feedback or other unwanted sounds from open

mics during breaks or changes.  The LED indicates the MUSIC

BREAK is ON. The internal effects are also muted.

24. 

GRAPHIC EQ MAIN + MONITOR

When the EQ  sliders are in their center position, they do not

affect the audio signal.  When EQ sliders are raised or low-

ered from this position, they boost or cut a narrow fre-

quency band.

For tone enhancement you may want to raise the 80Hz and

160Hz sliders (for deeper bass) and the 6kHz and 12kHz slid-

ers (for crisper highs) while reducing the 400Hz, 800Hz and

2kHz sliders in a moderate “curve”. 

To help prevent feedback, microphones should be placed

behind the main speakers.

To reduce feedback in the low frequency range, try lowering one of

the 80Hz or 160Hz sliders.  High frequency feedback is usually

reduced by lowering the 2kHz or 6kHz sliders. 

25. OUTPUT LED’s /AMP “CLIP” LED’s

The  OUTPUT METER LEDs indicate the output levels for

each power amp.  The yellow “+6” LED indicates the output

level is near maximum. The red CLIP LEDs indicate when

the power amps are starting to distort (clip).  Reduce the

MAIN and/or MONITOR master levels to prevent distortion.

26. POWER LED

The blue POWER LED indicates the mixer is powered ON.

27. PROTECT LED 

The mixer will “protect”, engaging relays to mute the speak-

ers if: a) impedance is below minimum on any amplifier  b)

shorted speaker cables, or c) ventalation problems.  If the

LED comes on, shut the mixer OFF and check for cable

problems, proper impedance and obstructed rear cooling

vents.  If you encounter an over-heat problem, leave the

mixer  ON  allowing the fan to cool down the internal com-

ponents.  The mixer will auto-reset in about 5 minutes.

28. 48V PHANTOM POWER 

SW/LED

The  48V PHANTOM POWER switch turns on the micro-

phone phantom power in the channel XLR jacks.  This

power is used for supplying a high voltage to condenser

microphones.  The LED indicates the phantom power is

turned on. The phantom power will not damage conven-

tional dynamic microphones. Note: Make sure the phantom

power is switched off before connecting or disconnecting

microphones to avoid a “pop”.

29. AMP ASSIGN SWITCH

This switch allows you to use one amp for MAIN and one

amp for MONITOR, or use both power amps for the MAIN

speakers.  The front MONITOR output jack remains

unchanged and can still be used for external power amps or

in-ear monitor systems.

30. EFFECTS FOOT SWITCH JACK

The optional  FS22 will remotely shut off the internal effects.

REAR PANEL-POWER/SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

The rear

panel contains the POWER SWITCH and AC power cable con-

nection. There are 2 groups of speaker jacks. Each group has

one Speakon™ connector and two 1/4” outputs (wired in par-

allel).

Each amp has a 2

MINIMUM IMPEDANCE

(Maximum two 4

speakers or four 8

speakers per amp).  

MAKE ALL SPEAKER CONNECTIONS BEFORE TURNING THE

MIXER ON .
