[. . . ] MIXING CONSOLE Owner's Manual Keep This Manual For Future Reference. E i Precautions 1. Avoid excessive heat, humidity, dust and vibration Keep the unit away from locations where it is likely to be exposed to high temperatures or humidity -- such as near radiators, stoves, etc. Also avoid locations which are subject to excessive dust accumulation or vibration which could cause mechanical damage. Ventilation The unit has ventilation slots on the top, rear and bottom panels. [. . . ] Signals that pass through the M1­M4 mix level controls of each input channel (see page 2, monaural input channel 8, and page 4, stereo input channel 6) are sent to the corresponding MIX buses. 1 M3 FIX M4 FIX Mix section This section consists of the output channels that handle MIX bus 1­10 signals individually. Signals that pass these output channels are output from MIX OUT 1­10 jacks (see page 17, rear panel 6), and also routed to the AFL bus. MIX bus 1­4 signals are also routed to the ST bus and Matrixes 1/2.

The MIX bus 1­4 signals that pass these output channels can be routed to MIX OUT 1­4 jacks, ST bus, AFL bus, and Matrixes 1/2. s M5­M10 These modules function as output channels for an AUX bus. The MIX bus 5­10 signals that pass these output channels can be routed to MIX OUT 5­10 jacks and AFL bus. A EQ controls (HIGH/MID/LOW) This 3-band equalizer provides ±15 dB of cut and boost over each frequency range of the MIX bus signals, with center frequencies and types shown in the following table. The frequencies for MID are variable. Band HIGH MID LOW Center frequencies 10 kHz 300­6 kHz 100 Hz Type shelving peaking (parametric) shelving B EQ switch This switch is used to turn the equalization on and off. C PAN control (applied only to M1­M4) This control allows you to adjust the stereo position of signals routed from MIX buses 1­4 to the ST bus. D TO ST (To stereo) switch (applied only to M1­M4) When you turn this switch on, the MIX bus 1­4 signals will be sent to the ST bus. E AFL (After-Fader Listen) switch When you turn this switch on, the post-fader signals in the MIX buses are routed to the AFL bus, and you can monitor the signals via the C-R MONITOR OUT jacks or PHONES jack. F Mix master fader This fader adjusts the output level of the MIX buses. The settings of the M1­M4 faders affect the level of signals sent to MIX OUT 1­4 jacks, ST bus, AFL bus, and Matrixes 1/2. The settings of the M5­M10 faders affect the level of signals sent to the MIX OUT 5­10 jacks and AFL bus.

A POST ST1 (Post stereo 1) switch POST ST1 1 This switch toggles between pre- and post-fader for signals output from the ST2 OUT jacks. When you turn this switch on, signals that passed the ST fader are output from the ST2 OUT jacks. When you turn the switch off, the ST fader setting does not affect signals output from the ST2 OUT jacks. MONO 2 3 10 B MONO (Monaural) switch When you turn this switch on, the ST bus signals will be mixed into a monaural signal and output from the ST2 OUT jacks. This switch setting does not affect signals output from the ST1 OUT jacks. LEVEL 0 ST2 AFL C LEVEL control 4 This control enables you to adjust the output level of signals at the ST2 OUT jacks. It does not affect the level of signals output from the ST1 OUT jacks. 10 5 D AFL (After-fader Listen) switch When you turn this switch on, the ST bus post-fader signals are routed to the AFL bus, and you can monitor the signals via the C-R MONITOR OUT jacks or PHONES jack. 0 5 10 5 E ST (Stereo) fader This fader enables you to adjust the final output level of the ST bus signals.

Use the paired AUX RETURN 1­4 L/R jacks (see page 17, rear panel 8) to input stereo signals. Alternatively, connect signals only to the AUX RETURN 1­4's L jack to use the routing as a monaural AUX return. A M1­M4 mix level controls These controls are used to route signals input from the AUX RETURN 1­2 jacks to MIX buses 1­4. The L channel of a stereo input signal is sent to MIX buses 1 and 3, and the R channel signal is sent to MIX buses 2 and 4. For a monaural signal input, the same signal is sent to MIX buses 1­4.

If the switches are set to FIX, signals that pass the M1­M10 mix level controls will still be sent to MIX buses 1­10. C ST (Stereo) level control This control knob enables you to adjust the level of signals sent from the AUX RETURN 1­4 jacks to the ST bus, and does not affect the M1­M10 mix level control settings (1 and 2). D ON switch This switch is used to turn on and off the corresponding AUX return. When you turn this switch off, no signals are sent to the ST bus and MIX buses 1­10. However, using the PFL switch 5 enables you to monitor the signals via the C-R MONITOR OUT jacks or PHONES jack. E PFL switch When you turn this switch on, the AUX return signals will be routed to the PFL bus, and you can monitor the signals via the C-R MONITOR OUT jacks or PHONES jack. The signals are not affected by the M1­M10 mix level controls (1 and 2), ST level control (3), or ON switch (4).

GA Diversity is an output select function that allows you to use the MIX OUT jacks as group output jacks or AUX output jacks on the MC32/12 and MC24/12. You can route either MIX (Variable) bus signals or MIX (Fix) bus signals to the MIX OUT 1­4 jacks of the MC32/12 and MC24/12. You can select either one of these output signals in the Variable/Fix select section. [. . . ]
