that gain or EQ boost should be reduced. There is roughly 3 dB of headroom remaining when it
lights. If the mute switch (#12) is depressed, it lights continuously to indicate that this channel has
been muted.
14. FADER: Left/right channel output level control. The level of the channel can be adjusted from
off to +10 dB of gain. This slider also adjusts the relative level of monitors 5 and 6 if they are set to
the post-fader signal. The optimum setting is the "0" (unity gain) position.
MASTER FUNCTIONS:
15. PHANTOM POWER: Applies 48 V DC voltage to the input XLR connectors to power micro-
phones that require it. This power is typically supplied by the house console, but if there is no other
source, it is provided here. The circuitry is protected against voltage coming from the house console,
but unusual phenomenons could occur if two mixers are used to supply power. The voltage of this
console has been set slightly below the normal 48 V to allow it to auto-disconnect if another source
is active.
If phantom power is used, do not connect unbalanced dynamic microphones or other devices that
cannot handle this voltage to the XLR inputs, including the thru connector. This may damage some
wireless receivers; consult their manuals for compatibility. The high-impedance input jacks on inputs
9-16 are not connected to the 48 V supply and are safe for all inputs (balanced or unbalanced). An
LED indicates that local phantom power is on.
