12 CHANNEL STRIP FEA TURES Through a stereo channel’ s stereo LINE IN TRS inputs, ther e is 20 dB of attenuation fully down and 20 dB of gain fully up, with a “ U ” (unity gain) mark at 12:00 (knob halfway up).
13 PRE F ADER The aux send rule of thumb: For parallel effects processing, use aux sends in post-fader mode. For stage monitors, use pre-fader mode (see diagram below). With this switch disengaged (up), AUX 1 and 2 receive signals in post-fader mode: post- low cut, post-insert, post-EQ, post-mute, and POST -fader .

16 jacks and engage the BREAK SWITCH . In- stantly , the entire main mix is switched off and the intermission entertainment is switched on. Even if you just want silence during the br eaks, this switch can act as a “Master Mute” switch, simply by plugging nothing into T APE INPUT .
17 AUX MASTER SEND Aux send signals ar e derived by each channel’s AUX knob, mixed together , then sent through this AUX MASTER SEND knob. T urned fully up, it provides 15 dB of additional gain, the center “ U ” mark is unity gain, and fully down is off.
18 EMAC effects, with their levels already deter - mined by the channels’ EFX 2 (EXT) knob, you’ll typically set this knob near the “ U ” mark and then leave it alone. EFFECTS TO MONITOR This works just like the channel AUX knobs, but here, the source signal is the EFX 2 RETURN and the EMAC output.
19 slowest repeats at 10 . DAMPING/DEPTH controls the damping, with the darkest tone at 0 and the brightest tone at 10 . Since the delay effect is not stereo, it is not affected by the WIDE switch. DELA Y 1: One repeat. W orks best for slapback delay used in country and swing gui- tar , and for rockabilly and some country vocals.
20 APPENDIX A: Ser vice Info Bad Output • Are the SUB ASSIGN switches set correctly? • Are the MAIN MIX Fader and SUB Faders turned up? • If it’s one of the MAIN OUT s , try unplugging all the others. For example, if it’s a TRS MAIN OUT , unplug the associ- ated XLR outputs.
