User manual ALLEN & HEATH XONE 62

[. . . ] USER GUIDE Publication AP4145 Limited One Year Warranty This product has been manufactured in the UK by ALLEN & HEATH and is warranted to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for period of one year from the date of purchase by the original owner. 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 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. [. . . ] This provides a 20dB range with continuous adjustment for line level signals from ­10dBu to +10dBu, ­40dBu to ­20dBu for mics, or to match a wide range of RIAA turntable cartridges. Use the channel meter and Cue system to correctly set the gain. Reduce GAIN if the channel meter red PK led flashes. The CH1 and 2 equaliser is different to the CH3-6 equaliser. It provides a powerful tool to adjust the tonal quality of the sound to correct source problems such as microphone characteristics, proximity effect, noise and feedback, or to adjust the overall `feel'. Start with the EQ controls set to their mid (flat) position. Then adjust to achieve the desired sound. Take time to experiment with these controls. The XONE:62 equaliser provides separate tone control over four frequency bands. The frequencies in each band may be boosted or cut by up to 15dB. The centre flat position is detented for quick resetting. HI Turn this control clockwise to boost and anticlockwise to cut the high (treble) frequencies. This has a shelving response with all frequencies above the 10kHz turning point affected. Note that frequencies below 10kHz are affected by a decreasing amount. Use HI boost to brighten up the sound by adding sparkle, and cut to reduce source hiss and ambient high frequency pickup, or to limit or lift the high response of vocal mics. MID 1 Turn clockwise to boost and anticlockwise to cut the higher mid frequencies. This has a bell shaped peak/dip response that has maximum effect at 2. 5kHz. Boosting can enhance the intelligibility of vocals. On the other hand, some situations may require cutting to notch out a ringing frequency so increasing gain before feedback. MID 2 This is similar to MID 1 but affects the lower mid frequencies centred at 250Hz. Boosting can enhance the warmth of the sound while cutting can reduce the unpleasant resonant or boomy effects. LO This is similar to the shelving HI control but affects the low (bass) frequencies below the 100Hz turning point. Note that frequencies above 100Hz are affected but by a decreasing amount. [. . . ] When the VCF is switched on there is very little sound. Operate the VCF frequency control to restore the frequency content of the sound. Check that a channel CUE switch is not already selected. This is indicated by the red CUE led under the monitor meters. [. . . ]
