User manual PEAVEY XR 696

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] They are connected directly to their power amplifier inputs. SYSTEM MODE: This switch is used to configure the XR® 696 as either a stereo or dual mono amplifier. The XR 696 is shipped from the factory in the default setting of Left Main to the upper EQ and Right to the lower EQ. When this switch is depressed, it switches the lower EQ to (mono) PA Left + Right. The upper EQ then becomes the monitor signal only, creating an entire PA and monitor mixing system in one small, easy-to-carry package. And this change is accomplished without a single patch cord!This control also sets the monitor level going to the power amp when in Main/Monitor mode (see System Mode #24). mAIN LEVEL: This is the master level control for the main mix sent to the Left/Mono and Right output jacks. This control sets the Main level going to the power amp when in Main/Monitor mode (see System Mode #24). A good starting position for this control is the center detent position (12:00). When phantom power is switched on, make sure that any channel you are plugging a mic into is turned down in both the main and monitor mixes. Otherwise, there will be a loud pop in the PA. It is best to plug all mics into their respective channels with the phantom power switched off. This reduces noise in the PA and reduces the chances of the mic being damaged. If phantom power is used, do not connect unbalanced microphones or other devices that cannot handle this voltage to the XLR inputs. (Some wireless receivers may be damaged; consult their manuals for compatibility. ) The line input 1/4" jacks are not connected to the phantom supply, and are safe for all inputs (balanced or unbalanced). An unbalanced-to-balanced impedance converter, such as the Peavey 5116 or a Peavey 1:1 Interface Adapter, can also be used to isolate a mic from phantom voltage. MONITOR OUTPUT: This 1/4" jack provides an output from the monitor mix to supply external power amp/monitor combinations. The level of this signal is determined by the Monitor Level control. lEFT/MONO OUTPUT: This 1/4" jack provides an output from the Left Main mix to supply external amp/speaker combinations. The level of this signal is determined by the Main Level control. [. . . ] 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. Never break off the ground pin on the power supply cord.
