62 - PROTECT LEDs
The TXM mixers have a protection circuit to help prevent
damage to the power amplifiers when it is presented with
a clipped signal for an unsafe duration. The TXM mixer's
PROTECT LED's will illuminate indicating the protec-
tion circuit is active to help avoid serious damage to the
amplifier section. There are individual PROTECT LED's
for the left and right power amplifiers. If either of the
PROTECT LED's illuminate, turn the main volume down
and wait for the LED's to go off. This is your indication that
it is safe to return to normal operation. In order to keep
the amplifier from going into PROTECT mode, be sure
to keep the PEAK LEDS in the MAIN meter section from
lighting.
63 – MONITOR EQUALIZER
The TXM16 and TXM20's nine-band MONITOR EQUALIZER
allows you to contour the frequency response of the
AUX 1 mix bus signal. Providing a maximum of 12dB
of cut/boost for each frequency band, the TXM mixer's
Graphic EQ is also extremely useful tool for cutting the
frequencies that cause annoying feedback. The frequency
response is flat when the sliders are in the center position.
Moving a slider in the positive direction will boost that
frequency by as much as 12dB, and moving the slider in
the negative direction will cut that frequency by up to
12dB. The response curve set using the Graphic Equalizer
is also applied to the signal at the AUX 1 output.
64 – MONITOR EQ ON/OFF - switch
The EQ ON/OFF switch is used to engage or bypass the
MONITOR EQUALIZER. When the switch is in the down
position, the EQ is on and when the switch is up, the EQ is
bypassed.
Controls and Functions
65 – MAIN STEREO EQUALIZER
The TXM16 and TXM20 provide a nine-band MAIN
STEREO EQUALIZER allowing you to contour the frequen-
cy response of the MAIN stereo mix bus signal. Providing
a maximum of 12dB of cut/boost for each frequency
band, the TXM mixer's Graphic EQ is also extremely use-
ful tool for cutting the frequencies that cause annoying
feedback. The frequency response is flat when the sliders
are in the center position. Moving a slider in the posi-
tive direction will boost that frequency by as much as
12dB, and moving the slider in the negative direction will
cut that frequency by up to 12dB. And since the MAIN
Graphic Equalizer is stereo, the EQ curve is applied to
both the left and right signal at the internal power amp
input, the MAIN MIX out, MAIN INSERT, as well as the
MAIN MIX OUT 2 output.
66 – MAIN EQ ON/OFF switch
The EQ ON/OFF switch is used to engage or bypass the
MAIN EQUALIZER. When the switch is in the down posi-
tion, the EQ is on and when the switch is up, the EQ is
bypassed.
