28. PHANTOM POWER LED

This light comes on when the rear panel 

PHANTOM POWER (54) switch is turned on. This 
indicates that the XLR MIC (1) inputs are supplied 
with 48 volts.

29. LAMP

This female BNC connector allows you to attach 

“Littlelite” brand gooseneck lamp or equivalent, to 
shine a light on the control surface, and give you 
that mysterious cool look, as you work in the dark.

30. PHONES

This is where you plug in a nice pair of stereo 

headphones. It accepts 1/4" stereo plugs. Adjust the 
level using the PHONES (40) knob.

Caution: 

Always turn the PHONES knob 

down when making connections, or when 
pushing any switches. These precautions 
will help protect your hearing.

31. 7-BAND STEREO GRAPHIC EQ

The magnificent seven sliders allow you to 

equalize the main mix, or the stage monitor mix.

Each slider varies the level by ±15 dB either side of 

unity gain. The frequency bands are 64 Hz, 125 Hz, 
400 Hz, 1 kHz, 2.5 kHz, 8 kHz and 16 kHz.

Adjust the EQ wisely and subtly. Do not overdo 

the EQ gain, as this might lead to overloading or 
clipping. Think of it like makeup, it should be applied 
sparingly for a lovely effect, not caked on like wall 
plaster.

32. MAIN MIX/AUX 1 MON

This switch lets you assign the EQ (31) to either the 

main mix or the Aux 1 stage monitor mix.

In the up position, the main mix will pass through 

the EQ, and the monitor mix is not affected. You 
can then adjust the sound of your main speakers, 
and compensate for the effects of the room 
environment.

In the down position, the stage monitor mix passes 

through one side of the stereo EQ, and the main mix 
is not affected. You can adjust the EQ to prevent 
mic or guitar feedback from the stage monitors, or 
allow the band to hear the monitors more clearly, or 
less clearly if that helps any.

33. EQ BYPASS

This switch allows you to quickly bypass the EQ 

(31) so you can judge its effect without having to set 
the sliders back to center. Push it in to hear the EQ, 
and leave it up to bypass.
