[. . . ] S-24TM Mixing Console Operating Guide For more information on other great Peavey products, go to your local Peavey dealer or online at www. peavey. com Intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. Intended to alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product. CAUTION: Risk of electrical shock -- DO NOT OPEN!CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover. [. . . ] Instruments are best routed to the CHOIR group. Inputs 19/20, 21/22 and 23/24 are designed for line-level signals only. Use these inputs to connect CD players, tape players, audio from video sources, keyboards or even an auxiliary mixer if necessary. These inputs are not affected by the SOLO or CHOIR group controls. GROUP ASSIGN: Group mics together that will be used together The Ambience mic input goes to the Record and Auxiliary outputs only. This feature can add sound from the room (congregation singing and response) to the REC (recording) and AUX (auxiliary) outputs. The addition of some ambient sound can enhance the recording, broadcast, or sound to other parts of the building. There are many things to consider in placing this microphone. You will likely want to position the mic so it picks up a minimal amount of the sound from the speaker system. You will also want to maximize the pickup of congregation. It may also need to pick up instruments that do not go through the sound system (piano, organ) Stereo or mono Master operation The S-24 can be used with Stereo or Monaural sound systems. If you plan on stereo operation, be sure that the left and right speaker systems can each cover the entire congregation area. If mono operation is selected, then the Left and Right main outputs can be used as independent output sends. Monitor systems: the good, the bad, and the ugly The monitor system can be the best part of the sound system, but it can also be the worst. Great care and discipline is required in the setup and adjustment of the monitor system so that it is an asset. A good monitor system allows musicians and singers to perform together by enabling them to clearly hear themselves and/or others. It may also enable the choir and other service participants to better hear and participate in the worship service. By contrast, a poorly designed or adjusted monitor system can make it difficult to hear what is needed by including too much information or by emphasizing too much of the wrong thing. In addition, as the volume of the monitor system increases, it can overwhelm the main sound system making the overall sound unintelligible. Because it is another parallel sound system, a monitor system adds to the potential for acoustic feedback. The S-24 has two monitor sends, enabling it to provide two different mixes for the platform or choir, providing only the material that is needed. Monitor 1 also incorporates the Feedback Ferret® to help eliminate feedback through the monitor system. Because of this feature, Monitor Send 1 is best used for overhead choir foldback or general platform fill speakers. (Please refer to the Glossary later in this guide for an explanation of unfamiliar terms. ) Monitor 2 can then be used for floor or spot monitors. [. . . ] Muted All controls nominal, mic gain min.
