User manual ALLEN & HEATH XONE XD40 DATASHEET

[. . . ] The equipment has not been subject to misuse either intended or accidental, neglect, or alteration other than as described in the User Guide or Service Manual, or approved by ALLEN & HEATH. Any necessary adjustment, alteration or repair has been carried out by ALLEN & HEATH or its authorised agent. This warranty does not cover crossfader wear and tear. The defective unit is to be returned carriage prepaid to ALLEN & HEATH or its authorised agent with proof of purchase. [. . . ] Use HI boost to brighten up the sound by adding sparkle, and cut to reduce source hiss or ambient high frequency pickup. MID 1 Turn the +/- control clockwise to boost and anticlockwise to cut the higher mid frequencies. This has a bell shaped peak/dip response that has maximum boost or cut at the selected frequency. Use the upper control to select this centre frequency between 500Hz and 15kHz. Boosting around 3kHz can enhance the intelligibility of vocals helping them to cut through the mix. Cutting to notch out a ringing frequency can help to increase the gain before feedback. MID 2 This is similar to MID 1 but affects the lower mid frequencies selectable from 35Hz to 1kHz. Boosting can enhance the warmth of the sound while cutting can reduce the effect of resonant or boomy frequencies. LO Turn this control clockwise to boost and anticlockwise to cut the low (bass) frequencies. This has a shelving response with all frequencies below the 60Hz turning point affected. Note that frequencies above 60Hz are affected but by a decreasing amount. Note that the pre-fade aux sends can be internally reconfigured so that they are not affected by this switch if required. PEAK The red LED lights when the channel is within 9dB of clipping. This warns that you should turn back the GAIN control to reduce the signal level. CUE Press CUE to listen to the pre-fader channel signal using the headphones or local monitor (if enabled). This does not affect the main outputs and lets you audition the signal before you raise the fader and introduce it into the mix. The signal level is also displayed on the console monitor meters so that GAIN can be set to achieve the correct operating levels. The PEAK LED half lights to show which channel PFL has been selected. MIX1 (2) Routes the post-PAN channel signal to Mix1 and Mix2. FADER A 100mm long throw fader adjusts the level of the channel signal and provides a clear visual indication of its contribution to the mix. It does not affect the pre-fader AUX sends. It does affect DIR OUT unless it has been reconfigured pre-fader. [. . . ] Check that the mic channel ON switch is pressed and that the Mix1, 2 routing switches are correctly set. Also check that any compressors or other processors plugged into the inserts are turned on and correctly adjusted. Check that a channel CUE switch is not already selected. This is indicated by the red CUE led under the monitor meters. For your safety do not remove the EARTH (ground) connection in the power lead of the console or connected equipment. Have your MAINS SYSTEM checked by a qualified electrician. [. . . ]
