To ensure a high level of performance and reliability for which this equipment has been designed and manufactured, read this User Guide before operating. In the event of a failure, notify and return the defective unit to ALLEN&HEATH Limited or its authorised agent as soon as possible for repair under warranty subject to the following conditions Conditions Of Warranty 1. The equipment has been installed and operated in accordance with the instructions in this User Guide 2. [. . . ] In most cases users also prefer that the monitor sends are not affected by inserted processors or the channel EQ. Post-fade aux sends follow the channel faders and are typically used to send a proportion of the channel signal to an effects device such as reverb or delay. Pre or post-fade sends may also be used for special applications such as recording, zone feeds, clean feeds and aux fed subs. LM LF -15 +15 -15 +15 PRE AUX 1 OO +6 AUX 2 OO +6 AUX 3 OO +6 AUX 4 PRE When pressed the pre-fade channel signal is sent to the associated auxes. When released the post-fade signal is sent. Auxes 3 and 4 are affected by the PRE switch (factory default). You can change this by repositioning the internal option jumpers. PAN Positions the channel signal between L and R in the stereo mix. The centre position (mono image) is detented for quick resetting. the feed to the LR mix, pre and post-fade aux sends and direct output, but does not affect the insert send. The red indicator lights when the channel is muted. OO +6 POST PRE AUX 5 OO +6 MUTE When pressed the channel signal is turned off. This affects AUX 6 OO +6 POST = PAN L R MUTE PK! PFL SIG 10 PFL Press PFL to listen to the pre-fade channel signal in the headphones or AB monitor (if configured) without affecting the main outputs. The console main LR meters are interrupted with the channel signal. The red PK indicator half lights to show that PFL has been selected on that channel. Selecting more than one PFL at the same time mixes those signals together in the monitor. PEAK The red indicator illuminates when the channel pre-fade signal is within 5dB of clipping. This gives you enough warning to reduce the GAIN control before you hear signal distortion. The green signal presence indicator lights when the channel pre-fade signal is greater than -12dBu. 5 0 5 10 SIGNAL FADER 20 30 Controls the channel level feeding the main LR mix and post-fade aux sends. It also affects the direct output if this has been set to post-fade using the internal option jumpers. The fader provides +10dB maximum boost above its normal unity gain 0dB position. Important note on setting channel levels: Use PFL to set the GAIN controls for correct signal level through each channel. Use the faders to balance each signal in the mix. These are typically operated around their -20 to 0 positions according to the mix. [. . . ] We recommend you only change these settings if absolutely necessary. Stereo/Mono aux source STEREO CH - MONO/STEREO AUXES CN5 MONO CN4 MONO POST-FADE AUXES STEREO PRE-FADE AUXES STEREO The stereo channels can feed the auxes with a mono sum of L+R, or be configured so that L feeds the odd numbered auxes, and R the even. This is preferred when using odd/even auxes as stereo pairs. Note that you should also set the ST1 (ST5) stereo/mono jumper to the same position. Effects return stereo/mono aux source AUX MASTER - ST1(5) MONO/STEREO JP1 ST1(5) AUX SOURCE MONO STEREO The return channel ST1 (5) feeds Auxes 1-4 with a mono sum of the stereo signal. If you are working with stereo auxes you can reconfigure this for stereo with L feeding Auxes 1, 3 and R feeding Auxes 2, 4. [. . . ]
