[. . . ] RQTM1606M Monitor Console GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The RQTM 1606M compact mixer was designed to be used as a monitor console in sound reinforcement applications; it will complement any house console by expanding its monitor capabilities. The mixer's six monitor sends and left/right outputs make it possible to use it as a house mixer with six equalized monitor sends--two can be used as effect sends by setting the pre/post switch to post. cHANNELS: This console has 16 input channels. All inputs feature discrete transistor, low-noise mic preamps with a 20 dB pad switch to handle any input signal level (-57 dB to +30 dB). [. . . ] If no output is assigned to the AFL mix, there will be no signal present until a channel is assigned to the PFL mix. The wedge level will diminish (-20 dB) when the talkback mic is engaged to prevent feedback. PFL ACTIVE: This LED flashes when the PFL is active and its signal is overriding the standard AFL mix in the headphone and wedge outputs and at the right meter. The signals that are present in the PFL mix can be seen by the individual PFL LEDs. This jack also has the same phantom power that the other connector has, so use caution when connecting other equipment that could be damaged by 48 V DC. Because of the wide range of gain adjustment, signal levels up to +32 dBu (with pad engaged) can be accommodated. This will increase the dynamic range to accommodate a higher input level before clipping, which may be necessary when close miking loud guitar amplifiers or drum kits. INSERT (CHANNEL 1-8): 1/4" stereo (TRS) jack which allows an external device (such as a compressor or graphic EQ) to be inserted into the signal path before the tone equalization. By inserting a jack only to the first click (so that the internal switch is not engaged), a preamp direct output is available without affecting the channel's normal operation. The tip is the positive input, which should also be used for unbalanced inputs. This input is connected to the mic input (#30) and changes the circuit's input impedance (including the XLR) when a jack is connected. Both balanced and unbalanced outputs are provided and can be used simultaneously. Recording equipment or other feeds can be connected to the left/right outputs. Monitors 5 and 6 can be set post fader and can also be used for specialized outputs where fader control is desired. To slave additional monitor mixers, connect the PFL links together (parallel wired) and patch the slave's monitor outputs to the master monitor's line inputs and set the output levels on the slave to match those on the master. Either console's PFL signal will take over the wedge and headphone outputs of both mixers. Any mic that requires an external effect processor or compressor should be connected to one of the first eight inputs which have insert jacks. These are balanced (TRS) and have the same gain as the XLR inputs, but do not have phantom power available. Both balanced and unbalanced outputs are provided and can be used simultaneously. the house power amp inputs connect to the left/right (or the mono) outputs. If effects are desired, set monitor 5 and 6 sends to post fader and route these monitor outputs to the effect device's inputs. The effect return signal must be brought back into the monitor's line input or into the mixer using unused input channels (9-16 have Hi-Z inputs). [. . . ] This product should be located so that its position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. It should not be placed flat against a wall or placed in a built-in enclosure that will impede the flow of cooling air. This product should not be placed near a source of heat such as a stove, radiator, or another heat producing amplifier. Connect only to a power supply of the type marked on the unit adJacent to the power supply cord. [. . . ]
