5.4 Adjusting the monitor send way

Make sure that the monitor system for stage
PA applications is connected to the jack AUX
SEND 1 (55) of send way 1 .
1) For the channels that are fed to the monitor
way, press the button PRE (10) in order to set
the position where the signal for the monitor
way is picked up to pre-fader .
2) Turn up the control AUX SEND MASTER 1 /
MON (30) for the total volume of the monitor
mix until the monitor signal can be easily
heard via the monitor system when the sub-
sequent adjustments are made .
3) Use the controls AUX SEND 1 / MON (11) to
add the channel signals to the monitor way:
Turn up the controls, according to the de sired
volume ratio of the channels .
4) Use the control RETURN TO AUX 1 (37) to
add the effect signal of the internal effect
processor to monitor way 1 or to add the
signal from the jacks FX RTN (57) if a unit is
connected to these jacks .
5) To monitor the monitor way via headphones
or a control monitor system and to have the
monitor signal indicated by the level indica-
tors (38), press the button SOLO (29) next to
the control AUX SEND MASTER 1 / MON (30),

5.5 Adding effects

5.5.1 Using the internal effect processor

The internal effect processor allows for the
generation of 100 different effects that can be
added to the sum channels MASTER and to send
way 1 . Send way 2 is used as an effect way for
the effect processor .
Important: The input FX RTN (57) must be avail-
able when the effect processor is used . When
the two jacks are connected, the signal way of
the internal effect processor to the sum channels
and to send way 1 is interrupted .
1) To make sure that the subsequent effect
adjustments are audible, first set the con-
trols AUX SEND MASTER 2 / FX (28) and FX
RETURN (27) approximately to mid-position .
2) Turn the knob FX SELECT (43) clockwise or
counter-clockwise until the number of the
☞
desired effect ( figure 7 Effect overview)
starts flashing on the display (44) . Press the
knob to confirm the number: The number
stops flashing; the effect is activated .
3) Use the controls AUX SEND 2 / FX (9) to add
the signals of the input channels to the ef-

fect way . The signal is picked up after the
fader (1), i . e . the effect part of a channel
is always in proportion to the channel level
adjusted .
4) Use the control AUX SEND MASTER 2 / FX
(28) to adjust the level of all the signals that
have been added to the effect way . The
signals are fed to the input of the effect
processor and are also available at the jack
AUX SEND 2 (55) .
the LED PEAK above the button MUTE (42)
is used as an overload indicator with which
the level can be roughly checked . If the LED
PEAK lights up, turn back the control AUX
SEND MASTER 2 / FX accordingly .
5) Use the button FX RETURN (27) to add the
effect signal to the sum channels, and if de-
sired, use the button RETURN TO AUX 1 (37)
to add the effect signal to send way 1 .
6) Use a foot pedal connected to the jack FOOT
SWITCH (51) and the button MUTE (42) to
switch the effect processor off and on (the
button will not engage) . When the effect
processor is switched off, the LED PEAK
above the button MUTE will light up .

5.5.2 External effect unit

The effect unit must be connected via an Aux
Send output and an Aux Return input (or line
input of an available input channel),
ter 4 .2 .2 .
1) To make sure that the subsequent effect ad-
justments are audible, set the respective out-
put control and input control approximately
to mid-position:
depending on the output used
control AUX SEND MASTER 1 / MON (30)
or
control AUX SEND MASTER 2 / FX (28)
depending on the input used
control AUX RTN (31)
or
control FX RETURN (27)
or
fader (1) of the corresponding input chan-
nel
2) If the effect unit is connected to the input
AUX RTN (56), use the button MASTER / SUB
1-2 (39) to define if the effect signal is to
be sent to the sum channels (button disen-
gaged) or to the subgroup channels (button
engaged) .
Effect
reverb effect, ideally suited for vocals
reverb effect; simulation of a small to medium-sized room
reverb effect; simulation of a large hall
echo effect
combination of echo effect and reverb effect
combination of flanger effect and reverb effect
simulation of a classic reverberation plate with bright sound
guitar effect: Chorus
guitar effect: Rotary (Leslie effect)
When the effect processor is activated,
3) Depending on the send way used as an
effect way, use the controls AUX SEND 1 /
MON (11) or the controls AUX SEND 2 / FX (9)
to add the channel signals to the effect way .
With these controls, the desired effect in-
tensity can be separately adjusted for each
channel .
If send way 1 is used as an effect way,
the buttons PRE (10) must be disengaged
(setting post-fader) .
Note: If the effect unit is connected to the line
input of an input channel, turn back the control
AUX SEND 1 or 2 of the respective channel to
minimum; otherwise, there will be feedback .
4) Use the appropriate output controls AUX
SEND (28, 30) to adjust the level for the
output signal of the effect way so that the
effect unit is not overloaded .
Use the button SOLO (29) next to the
control AUX SEND to monitor the effect way
via headphones or a control monitor system
and to check it by means of the level indica-
☞
tors (38),
5) Use the appropriate input control to add the
signal coming from the effect unit; the con-
trol allows for the joint adjustment of the
effect intensity for all channels:
− If the effect unit is connected to the input
AUX RETURN (56),
use the control AUX RTN (31) to add the
effect signal to the sum channels or to
☞ the subgroup channels (depending on the
chap-
position of the button MASTER / SUB1-2) .
− If the effect unit is connected to the input
FX RTN (57),
use the control FX RETURN (27) to add the
effect signal to the sum channels . The con-
trol RETURN TO AUX 1 (37) can be used to
add the effect signal to send way 1 as well
(e . g . if it is used as a monitor way) .
− If the effect unit is connected to the line
input (21) of an input channel,
use the appropriate channel fader (1) to
add the effect signal to the sum channels
[the button L-R (3) must be engaged]
and / or to the subgroup channels [the but-
ton 1-2 (4) must be engaged] .
