Note: The ST control setting does not affect the level of the signal sent to the MONITOR 1/2 buses (pre-fader send). 0 Channel fader This controls the output level of the input channel signal. D PFL (pre-fader listen) switch When this switch is turned on, the signal at the point before the ST control knob C is sent to the PHONES/C-R OUT jack (input/output panel B). EMX2300--Owner's Manual 6 s Master control section In this section, you can adjust the final level of the outputs. AFL AFL AFL AFL AFL I MONO (monaural) fader The MONO fader adjusts the final level of the monaural signal output from the STEREO bus to the MONO jack (input/output panel 0). If the Power amp select switch V is set to MONI 1-MONO, this fader also adjusts the level of the signal sent from the SPEAKERS R 1/2 jacks to the speakers. If the Power amp select switch V is set to MONO BRIDGE, this fader adjusts the level of the signal sent from the SPEAKERS BRIDGE jack to the speaker.

Use these switches when you wish to monitor a particular output signal through the headphones. MONI 1 MONI 2 EFFECT ST 1 MONO E F G H I E MONI 1 (monitor 1) fader The MONI 1 fader adjusts the final level of the signal sent from the MONITOR 1 bus to the MONI 1 jack (input/output panel 9). If the Power amp select switch V is set to MONI 1MONO, using this fader enables you to adjust the level of the signal sent from the SPEAKER L 1/2 jacks to the speakers. s Tape in section In this section, you can adjust the input level of a cassette deck or a CD player that is connected to the TAPE jacks (input/output panel 5). TAPE IN ST F MONI 2 (monitor 2) fader The MONI 2 fader adjusts the final level of the signal output from the MONITOR 2 bus to the MONI 2 jack (input/output panel 9). K 0 10 PFL L G EFFECT fader The EFFECT fader adjusts the final level of the signal output from the EFFECT bus to the EFFECT jack (input/output panel A). Note: The setting of this fader does not affect the level of the signal sent from the EFFECT bus to the built-in effect. K ST (stereo) control This knob adjusts the level of the signal sent from the TAPE jacks to the STEREO bus. L PFL (pre-fader listen) switch When this switch is on, the signal input from the TAPE jacks is routed at the point before the ST control to the PHONES/C-R OUT jack (input/ output panel B). H ST 1 (stereo 1) fader The ST 1 fader adjusts the final level of the signal sent from the STEREO bus to the ST 1 jacks (input/output panel 8). If the Power amp select switch V is set to ST L-ST R, this fader also adjusts the level of the signal sent to the SPEAKERS jacks (rear panel 1). Note: The setting of this fader does not affect the signal output from the STEREO bus to the ST 2 jacks. EMX2300--Owner's Manual 7 s Digital effect section This section enables you to turn the built-in digital effect on/off and select the effect type. s Graphic equalizer section This section enables you to adjust the tone of the STEREO bus signal. 125 +12 6 M MONI 1 MONI 2 ST N 0 6 ­12 250 500 1k 2k 4k 8k +12 6 0 6 ­12 ON R S 0 10 0 10 0 10 ON DIGITAL EFFECT 6 5 4 3 2 1 16 15 789 PROGRAM 10 11 12 13 14 1 VOCAL ECHO 1 2 VOCAL ECHO 2 3 VOCAL ECHO 3 4 VOCAL ECHO 4 MIN MAX P Q 13 PLATE 1 14 PLATE 2 15 PLATE 3 16 GATE REVERB GRAPHIC EQUALIZER 5 VOCAL REVERB 1 9 HALL 1 6 VOCAL REVERB 2 10 HALL 2 7 VOCAL REVERB 3 11 HALL 3 8 VOCAL REVERB 4 12 ROOM R Graphic equalizer This is a 7-band graphic equalizer that allows you to adjust the frequency response of the STEREO bus signal, providing a maximum of ±12 dB of cut/boost for each frequency band. This graphic equalizer affects both the STEREO bus signal that is output to the speakers and the line level signal that is output from the ST 1/2 jacks (input/output panel 8), and MONO jack (input/output panel 0). O M MONI 1/2 (monitor 1/2) control This knob adjusts the level of the return signal that is sent from the built-in digital effect to the MONITOR 1/2 buses. N ST (stereo) control This knob adjusts the level of the return signal that is sent from the built-in digital effect to the STEREO bus. S ON switch This switch turns the graphic equalizer on/off. O Effect selector This knob selects the effect type for the internal digital effect. s Power amp section This section allows you to select the signals that will be input to the built-in two-channel power amplifier. L POWER AMP R LIMITER P ON switch This switch turns the internal digital effect on/ off. Q Effect control This knob adjusts the time parameter of the internal digital effect. Note: The master EFFECT fader setting does not affect the internal digital effect signal. T U +4 LEVEL +18 +4 L/BRIDGE ST L MONI 1 +18 ST R MONO MONO BRIDGE V T LIMITER indicator This indicator lights up when the level of the signal output from the power amp section reaches the maximum and the limiter is activated. Pin connections for the MIC and LINE jacks are as follows: MIC jacks (XLR type) LINE jacks (TRS phone jacks) * 3 4 6 9B Note: It is not possible to simultaneously use both the MIC and LINE inputs of a given channel. For each channel, use only one of the inputs as appropriate for the input source. Phantom power is switched on/off simultaneously for channels 1~8. For this reason, devices (in particular, unbalanced devices) other than condenser microphones must be connected to the LINE jacks of channels 1~8 or channel 9/10~11/12 input jacks if the PHANTOM +48V switch (control panel Y) is on. 2 INS I/O (insert) jacks 1~4 These are TRS phone jacks that enable you to insert an external effect processor, such as a compressor/limiter, between the equalizer and fader of input channels 1~4. These connections require a special "Y" cable, such as shown in the following diagram. The nominal input/output levels are 0 dB. to the input jack of the external processor to the INS I/O jack Sleeve Tip Pin 1: ground Pin 2: hot (+) Pin 3: cold (­) Sleeve: ground Tip: hot (+) RIng: cold (­) * You can also connect a normal unbalanced phone plug. S RT Sleeve Ring Tip + - GND GND - + to the output jack of the external processor EMX2300--Owner's Manual 10 3 Channel input jacks 9~12A Channel input jacks 9~12B These are the input jacks for channels 9/10~11/12 and are used to connect to the stereo output jacks of electronic instruments, cassette decks, or CD players. Use the A/B switch (control panel 2) to select phone jacks (A) or phono jacks (B). The nominal input level ­34 dB~+10 dB. Note: Use only the L phone (A) jacks to connect a monaural device that has phone jacks. 8 ST 1 (stereo 1) jacks ST 2 (stereo 2) jacks These phone jacks output the line-level signals of the STEREO bus. Connect an external mixer or additional PA system to these jacks. Use the ST 1 fader (control panel H) to adjust the final output level at the ST 1 jacks, and use the ST 2 control (control panel [) to adjust the final output level at the ST 2 jacks. [. . . ] · Connect the main speakers to the SPEAKERS R 1/2 jacks, and connect the monitor speakers to the SPEAKERS L 1/2 jacks. Set the Power amp select switch to "MONI 1-MONO. " · If you use an external effect such as delay or reverb, connect the EMX2300's EFFECT jack to the input jack of the external effect, and connect the output jack of the external effect to the EMX2300's ST SUB 1. Microphone Bass guitar Guitar Keyboard Note: If you are using an external effect, we recommend that you turn down all the EFFECT controls of the digital effect section. You can connect the output of an external effect to channels 9/10 and 11/12 to apply the equalizer to the effect return signal. However in this case, make sure that the EFFECT controls are turned all the way down for the channels into which the effect sound is being input. [. . . ]
