45. 2T Return Controls
Turning the 2T Return level control adjusts the signal level of the
feed from the 2T Return inputs. The "to Main L/R" button that ac-
companies this control allows users to send the 2T return signal
to the Main L-R mixing bus. When this is done, the 2T return sig-
nal is not sent to the Rec Out, as to avoid producing a feedback
loop when recorded signals are fed back into the 2T return.
46. Control Room / Phones Control
This control is used to adjust the audio level of the Control Room
and Phones feeds, for use in the monitoring and tracking of au-
dio. The signal of the control Room / Phones mixing bus is decid-
ed by the Source Selection buttons located immediately below
this control. If no buttons are selected, the solo signal will be
used instead.
47. Control Room / Phones Source Selection
These four buttons allow users to select the various possible
sources for the Control Room and Phones outputs. By simply
pushing one of these buttons, users have the ability to monitor
the Group 1-2, Group 3-4, Main L-R and 2T return signals, either
together or individually.

50. Level Meter
The dual 12 segment level meter
gives an accurate indication of when
audio levels of the Main L/R signal
reach certain levels. The 0 dB indi-
cator illuminates is approximately
equal to an output level of +4 dBu
(balanced), and the PEAK indicator
illuminates about 1.5 dB before the
signal is dynamically clipped.

the various level controls so that it
sits steadily around 0 dB to make full
use of audio, while still maintaining
fantastic clarity.

51. Group 1/5, 2/6, 3/7 and 4/8 Controls
These four faders are the final level control for the Group
1 to 4 audio feeds (the signals of which are doubled in
the 5 – 8 Group outputs), sent to the corresponding Group
outputs on the rear of the AM844D to feed external devices
such as effect processors, and, most commonly, multi-track
recorders. These faders can be fed a signal from the vari-
ous mono and stereo channels, as well as the AUX Return
3, depending on your selections. When pushed all the way
up, these faders provide 10 dB of gain to the signal, and,
when set all the way down, effectively mute the signal.
The Group Controls also feature individual left and right
buttons, which allow you to send the various Group sig-
nals to the Main Left and Right. This can be handy when
wanting to combine the signals from different signals and
control their input levels simultaneously, then send them to
the Main L/R signal (eg. when multiple inputs are used for,
say, drums, you can combine these inputs together to be
controlled much simpler by a single fader).
52. Main L/R Fader
The Left and Right main mix is controlled with this fader
– the final level control for the Main Left and Right audio
feeds, sent to the Main L and R outputs. When pushed all
the way up, the Main L/R fader provides 10 dB of gain to
the signal, and when set all the way down, the signal is
effectively muted.
