User manual PEAVEY RQ 1606M

[. . . ] 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. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover. WARNING: To prevent electrical shock or fire hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture. Before using this appliance, read the operating guide for further warnings. [. . . ] 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. It has the same gain as the XLR input, but does not have phantom power available. The two inputs cannot be used simultaneously. The output level is set by the individual channel monitor send controls and by the master monitor fader. It can be used to expand the mixer by connecting another source (mixer or other device) here to add to the monitor's mix. There are no controls for this jack (0 dBu nominal). MONITOR INSERT: 1/4" stereo (TRS) jack which allows an external device (such as a compressor or graphic EQ) to be inserted into the monitor's signal path. The signal is exactly the same as that in the headphones, but has other features. When the talkback mic is active, these outputs are diminished to prevent local feedback. If there is no plug connected into the right output jack, the left and right wedge signals are summed to mono. Wedge levels are set by the wedge control, and are independent from the headphone levels. PFL LINK: This is a port that makes it possible to parallel two RQ 1606M mixers, increasing the number of inputs. A shielded stereo (TRS) cord connected between them will cause the two mixer's PFL circuits to merge. Then any PFL switch pressed will take over the right meter of the unit supplying the signal and change the headphone/wedge source on both units. The output level is set by the master left and right faders. The XLR outputs are 4 dB higher in level than the 1/4" outputs. AC MAINS INPUT: Connect the line cord to this connector to provide power to the unit. Damage to the equipment may result if improper line voltage is used. If phantom power is required, use the power provided by the house console unless it is not available. this will provide the best performance and cause the fewest problems. If the RQ 1606M provides the phantom power, it will apply 48 V to all the XLR inputs which may not be desired at the other console. [. . . ] Never break off the ground pin on the power supply cord.

The power supply cord should be unplugged when the unit is to be unused for long periods of time. [. . . ]
