AUX Return Control (AM6GE only)
This control adjusts the incoming signal from the
stereo AUX Return inputs. This signal is then sent to
the mixes selected by the buttons below.
29.
AUX Return Routing Buttons (AM6GE only)
These two buttons allow users to select the destination
of the AUX return signal. Users can choose to
incorporate this signal directly into their main mix
(MAIN) or monitor the AUX Return by sending it to
their control room mix and headphones (CTRL RM).
These can, of course, be selected simultaneously.
30.
Phones (Control Room/Phones) Control
On the AM5GE, this control is used to adjust the
audio level of the phones feed, to be sent to the
Phones output. It can be used in conjunction with
headphones or, if required, as an auxiliary output.
On the AM6GE, however, this control adjusts not
only the phones level, but the signal level sent to the
Control Room output also. The Control Room output
is commonly used in monitoring, as a side fill, or for
the addition of other, external devices.

2T/USB Return Routing Buttons Controls
Pushing either one of the buttons in the 2T/USB
Return Control Section selects the destination of the
2T Return and USB Return signals. The TO MAIN
button sends the signal to the Main mix, whereas the
"TO PHONES" or "TO CTRL RM" buttons will send the
signal to the Phones or Control Room/Phones mixes,
respectively. These buttons can, of course, be used
simultaneously, feeding the signal to both the Control
Room/Phones and Main L/R mixes. If no "to Phones"
or "to Ctrl Rm" buttons are engaged, the Phones and
Control Room outputs will receive the Main mix.
32.
2T/USB Control
Turn this rotary control to adjust the incoming level
from the 2T Return inputs and the USB return signal
(as sent from the computer). The output of the USB
can further be refined through your computer. The
signal is then sent to the destinations selected using
the 2T/USB routing buttons.
33.
Phantom Power Switch
When this switch is in the on position it activates
+48V of phantom power for both microphone inputs,
allowing condenser microphones to be used on
these channels.
NB. Phantom Power should be used in conjunction with
condenser microphones only. However many modern
microphones are unaffected by Phantom Power, so it's best to
consult your mic's user's manual for details.
34.
Level Meter
The AM Gold's 10-segment level meters give an
accurate indication of when audio levels of the MAIN
L/R output reach certain levels. Phonic suggests
setting the various levels controls so that the level
sits around the 0 to +3 area.
35.
Main L/R Control
This control is final level control for the main left and right
audio feed, sent to the Main L and R output. The AM5GE
features a rotary control while the AM6GE offers a fader.
