Digital Effect Section (AM440D only)
22. Digital Effect Display
This 2-digital numeric display shows
the program number that is currently
applied to your EFX audio signal.
When you rotate the Program con-
trol, you can scroll through differ-
ent program numbers; however the
display will revert back to the origi-
nal program if a new program is not
selected within a few seconds. For
a list of available effects, please ob-
serve the Digital Effect Table.
23. Sig and Clip Indicators
Located within the Digital Effect Dis-
play are Clip and Sig LEDs. The Sig
LED will light up when any signal is
received by the effect processor, and the Clip LED will light up
shortly before excessive signals are dynamically clipped. If the
Clip LED lights up too often, it may be advisable to turn down
one or all EFX controls on input channels to ensure the signal
level is not too high.
24. Program Control
This control is used to scroll through the various effects. Turning
the control clockwise will allow users to ascend into higher pro-
gram numbers, and turning it counter-clockwise will allow users
to descend into lower program numbers. Pushing this control will
apply the new effect. When a tap-delay effect is selected, press-
ing this control will allow users to select the tap-delay time.
By pushing the button several times, the effect processor inter-
prets the time between last two pushes and remembers this as
the delay time, until the button is pushed again (this is kept, even
after the power is turned off). When the tap delay effect is select-
ed, a small LED will flash within the digital effect display window
at the selected intervals.
25. EFX "to Main" Control
This will adjust the level of the Digital Effect signal that will be
sent to the Main left and right mixing bus to be applied to your
main feed.
26. EFX "to Ctrl" Button
This button is pushed to allow the signal from the Digital Effect
processor to be sent to the Control Room outputs for monitoring
purposes.

27. Phantom Power Switch
When this switch is in the on position, it activates +48V of
phantom power for all microphone inputs, allowing condenser
microphones (well, the ones that don't use batteries) to be
used on these channels. Activating Phantom Power will be
accompanied by an illuminated LED above the left channel Level
Meter. Before turning Phantom Power on, turn all level controls
to a minimum to avoid the possibility of a ghastly popping sound
from the speakers.
NB. Phantom Power should be used in conjunction with balanced
microphones. When Phantom Power is engaged, single ended
(unbalanced) microphones and instruments should not be used on the
Mic inputs. Phantom Power will not cause damage to most dynamic
microphones, however if unsure, the microphone's user manual should
be consulted.

28. AUX Send Control (AM440 only)
This control adjusts the final level of the AUX mixing bus (as
taken from the AUX controls on each channel strip), the audio
of which is sent to the AUX Send output (and sent to the Control
Room/Phones output when the AUX to Ctrl button is engaged).
29. 2T Return Routing Buttons
These two buttons allow users to decide the destination of the
signal received by the RCA 2T Return inputs. The "to Main"
button sends the signal to the main mix, whereas the "to Ctrl Rm"
sends the signal to the Control Room mixing bus for monitoring.
30. AUX "to Ctrl" Button (AM440 only)
When this button is activated, the AUX send signal (the level of
which is decided by the AUX send control) will be sent to the
Control Room mixing bus for monitoring purposes.
31. Ctrl Rm / Phones Control
This control is used to adjust the audio level of the Control
Room feed, which is sent to both the Control Room outputs
(for monitoring, acting as side fill or other purposes) and
Phones outputs (to be used in conjunction with headphones for
monitoring).
32. Main L-R Control
This 60mm fader is final level control for the main left and right
audio feed, sent to the Main L and R outputs.
33. Level Meter
The AM's stereo 4-segment level meter gives an accurate
indication of when audio levels of the MAIN L/R output reach
certain levels. It is suggested for the maximum use of audio to
set the various levels controls to a level slightly below that which
would cause the Peak LED to light up. This will help you get the
most out of your audio without causing any distortion.
34. +48 Indicator
The +48 Indicator illuminates whenever the Phantom Power is
activated.
35. Power Indicator
The Power Indicator will light up when the power of the mixer
is on.
