MAIN section

 

This section allows you to adjust the tone and 
volume of the MAIN bus, the mix level of the 
built-in effect, and the mix level of the external 
input.

 

C

 

Graphic equalizer

 

This is a 7-band graphic equalizer that allows you 
to adjust the frequency response of the MAIN 
bus signal, providing a maximum of ±12 dB of 
cut/boost for each frequency band.

This graphic equalizer affects both the MAIN bus 
signal that is output to the speakers and the line 
level signal which is output from the MAIN jack 
(input/output panel 

 

6

 

).

 

D

 

EFFECT RTN control

 

This adjusts the level of the effect signal which is 
returned from the built-in digital effect to the 
MAIN bus.

 

E

 

AUX IN control

 

This adjusts the amount of signal that is sent 
from the AUX IN jack to the MAIN bus.

 

F

 

TAPE IN

 

This adjusts the amount of signal that is sent 
from the TAPE IN jacks to the MAIN bus.

 

G

 

MASTER control

 

This adjusts the final level of the MAIN bus. It 
affects both the MAIN bus signal which is output 
from the speakers, and the line level signal which 
is output from the MAIN jack (input/output 
panel 

 

6

 

).

 

H

 

Peak level indicator

 

This indicator allows you to monitor the level of 
the signal which is output from the MAIN jack 
(input/output panel 

 

6

 

).

 

 

POWER AMP section

 

This section allows you to select the signals that 
will be output from the built-in two-channel 
power amplifier, and to select the BRIDGE mode.

 

I

 

LIMITER indicator

 

This indicator lights up when the level of the sig-
nal output from the power amp section reaches 
the maximum and the limiter is activated. Adjust 
appropriate control so that the indicator lights up 
for only a short while when the signal reaches the 
maximum level.

 

J

 

Power amp select switch

 

Select one of the following three settings to spec-
ify the signals that will be output from power 
amp 1/2.

 

• MAIN BRIDGE

 

With this setting, the MAIN bus signal will be 
output from the BRIDGE jack. The two power 
amp channels (A and B) will be bridge con-
nected. Only the MASTER control 

 

G

 

 in the 

MAIN section becomes effective.

 

MAIN-MAIN

 

With this setting, the MAIN bus signal will be 
output from the POWER AMP 1 A/B jacks and 
from the POWER AMP 2 A/B jacks. Only the 
MASTER control 

 

G

 

 in the MAIN section 

becomes effective.

 

• MAIN-MONITOR

 

With this setting, the MAIN bus signal will be 
output from the POWER AMP 1 A/B jacks and 
the MONITOR bus signal is output from the 
POWER AMP 2 A/B jacks. Only the MASTER 
controls in the MAIN and MONITOR sections 

 

G

 

 

A

 

 are both effective.

 

Note:   

 

To avoid distortion, adjust the MASTER 

control (

 

G

 

) so that the 0 indicator lights occa-

sionally.

The indicator lights up or flashes for a 

longer duration if the power amp section is sig-
nificantly overloaded, which could result in 
malfunction. Avoid such a situation.
