24-BIT MULTI-EFFECTS PROCESSOR
Here you can find a list of all presets stored in the multi-effects processor. 
This built-in effects module produces high-grade standard effects such as 
reverb, chorus, flanger, delay and various combination effects. The integrated 
effects module has the advantage of requiring no wiring. This way, the danger 
of creating ground loops or uneven signal levels is eliminated at the outset, 
completely simplifying the handling.
These effect presets are designed to be added to dry signals. If you move the 
FX TO MAIN control, you mix the channel signal (dry) and the effect signal.
This also goes for mixing effects signals with the monitor mix. The main 
difference is that the mix ratio is adjusted using the FX TO MON control. Of course, 
a signal has to be fed into the effects processor via the FX control in the channel 
strip for both applications.

On the following page, you will find an illustration showing how to 
connect your foot switch correctly.
LEVEL
The LED level meter on the effects module should display a sufficiently high 
level. Take care to ensure that the clip LED only lights up at peak levels. If it is 
lit constantly, you are overloading the effects processor and this could cause 
unpleasant distortion. The FX control (AUX SEND 2) determines the level that 
reaches the effects module.
PROGRAM
You can select the effect preset by turning the PROGRAM control. The display 
flashes the number of the current preset. To recall the selected preset, press the 
button; the flashing stops. You can also recall the selected preset with the 
foot switch.
4.  Installation
4.1  Rack mounting
The packaging of your mixing console contains two 19" rack mount wings which 
can be installed on the side panels of the console.
Before you can attach the rack mount wings to the mixing console, you need to 
remove the screws holding the left and right side panels. Use these screws to 
fasten the two wings onto the console, being careful to note that each wing fits 
a specific side. With the rack mount wings installed, you can mount the mixing 
console in a commercially available 19" rack. Be sure to allow for proper air flow 
around the unit, and do not place the mixing console close to radiators or power 
amps, so as to avoid overheating.
◊ 
Only use the screws holding the mixing console side panels to fasten 
the 19" rack mounts.
4.2  Cable connections
You will need a large number of cables for the various connections to and from 
the console. The illustrations below show the wiring of these cables. Be sure to 
use only high-grade cables.
