[. . . ] PREMIUM LIVE ANALOG MIXERS w/PERKINS EQ & ONYX MIC PREAMPS OWNER'S MANUAL ONYX 80 SERIES Important Safety Instructions 1. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. [. . . ] GROUP Fader This fader controls the Group's signal level, from off to unity gain at the "U" marking, on up to 10 dB of additional gain. 5 5 10 10 20 20 44. Signal Level LEDs These LEDs indicate the Group's signal level after the Fader and MUTE switch. So if the MUTE switch is pushed in or the Faders are down, the Signal Level LEDs won't light. 30 30 40 50 60 O O 40 50 60 O O STEREO AFL AFL 16 ONYX 80 SERIES 45. AFL Solo Switch The AFL switch allows you to hear the Group signal through your headphones or monitor outputs. This comes after the Group Fader and before the MUTE switch, so you can hear the relative signal level on each Group even when they are muted. When you engage the AFL switch on two consecutive odd/even Groups (i. e. , 1 and 2, 3 and 4, etc. ), the soloed signal appears in stereo in the headphones and monitor outputs. This is useful when you are using a pair of Group Sends in stereo to feed an in-ear monitoring system. Remember, PFL solo mode always overides AFL solo mode. If you engage a PFL solo switch on a mono or stereo channel, the AFL solo is disconnected from the headphones and monitor outputs and replaced with the PFL signal. The Rude Solo LEDS below the SOLO meters indicate which solo mode is active. Metering, Matrix, and Power LEDs 47. POWER Indicators These four LEDs indicate the status of the internal power supply voltages. The +15V and ­15V supplies power the audio circuits, the +48V is the phantom power applied to the XLR MIC inputs (when the 48V switch is pushed in on the channel strips), and the ­12V supply powers some internal relay circuits and the lamp connectors. When all four LEDs are lit, you know that the internal power supply (or the external redundant power supply, if connected) is operating correctly. Owner's Manual 48. GROUP/AUX FLIP Switch This switch "flips" the controls for the Aux Sends and the Group Sends, so that the Group Faders control the Aux Send levels, and the Aux Send GAIN controls adjust the Group levels. The Group signals still appear at the GROUP SEND outputs and the Aux Send signals still appear at the AUX SEND outputs. This allows you to use the long-throw (100 mm) Group Fader to make more precise settings for the Aux Sends, if required. The following chart shows what happens to each control in the Aux Send and Group sections when the GROUP/AUX FLIP Switch is pushed in: The Onyx SOLO meters are made up of two columns of twelve LEDs, with three colors to indicate different ranges of signal level, traffic light style. They range from ­30 at the bottom, to 0 in the middle, to +20 (CLIP) at the top. +15V -15V +48V CLIP +12V 20 10 7 4 2 0 2 4 7 10 20 30 SOLO 20 10 7 4 2 0dB=0dBu 0 2 4 7 10 20 30 L R If there are no RUDE SOLO channels in SOLO, the PFL AFL meters won't do anything. When a channel is soloed, the meters reflect the program level of the selected source prior to the SOLO, MONITOR, and PHONES [61/63/64] level knobs. When a mono channel (or channels) is soloed, only the left meter indicates signal, confirming the monophonic status of the soloed signal. When a stereo Aux Input is soloed, or stereo AFL solo mode is selected, both meters indicate the corresponding left and right signals.

RUDE SOLO Lights These LEDs flash on and off when a channel's solo is active, as an additional reminder beyond the indicating LEDs next to each PFL or AFL button.
