rather than boost the wanted range. You 
can reduce the level of some frequency 
bands where feedback occurs.
26. MAIN MIX METERS
Developed from a harmless ex-NATO 
hamster  hypnotizer, these stereo meters 
show the level of the left and right main mix, 
after it has passed through the main master 
level (28) and graphic EQ (25).
The top LEDs are marked CLIP, and 
you should adjust the levels to stop these 
coming on.
When power amplifi ers are pushed 
beyond their maximum rated output, the 
peak audio signals fl atten out (clip), as they 
can go no higher than the amp’s power 
supplies. Clipping can easily damage your 
speakers, even those that are rated beyond 
what your power amp can deliver.
27. FX TO MAIN
This knob lets you adjust the overall level 
of the internal effects being added to the 
main mix. It is a stereo control, as the output 
from the internal effects processor is stereo 
and is added to the left and right main mix.
Adjust the FX level being added, 
compared to the other channels playing in 
the main mix.
At the fully-down position, no effects are 
added, the center U mark is unity gain, and 
10 dB of effects gain is available at the fully 
clockwise position.
28. MAIN MASTER LEVEL
This knob controls the level of  the main 
mix, and affects the meters (26), main line-
level outputs (11), and the main speaker-
level outputs (3). The level adjustment 
occurs before the main graphic EQ (25).
This gives you ultimate control over your 
audience. Adjust it carefully, with your 
good eye on the meters to check against 
clipping, and your good ear on the levels to 
make sure your audience is happy.
The control does not affect the tape 
output (10), monitor output (9), or internal 
power amp B if it is playing a monitor.
The main mix signals are off with the level 
fully down, the “U” marking is unity gain, 
and fully up provides 12 dB of additional 
gain. This additional gain will typically never 
be needed, but once again, it’s nice to 
know it’s there. The level control is stereo, as 
it affects both the left and right of the main 
mix equally. This is the control to turn down 
at the end of the song when you want a 
gentle fade out into applause (or stunned 
and awkward silence).
29. MONITOR GRAPHIC EQ
This 7-band graphic equalizer adjusts the 
monitor mix output. It affects the line-level 
monitor output (9), and speaker-level output 
channel B (3) if it is playing a monitor. 
Each slider allows you to adjust the level 
of its frequency band, with up to 12 dB of 
boost or cut, and no change in level at the 
center (0 dB) position. The frequency bands 
are: 125, 250, 500, 1 k, 2 k, 4 k, and 8 kHz.
The EQ section comes after the monitor 
level (32), and just before the monitor meter 
(30). Therefore, as you adjust the EQ, keep 
an eye on the meter in case you over-do it 
and take the levels into clipping. As with the 
channel EQ, just take it easy. 
The sliders will help you reduce the levels 
in the stage monitors of the frequency 
ranges that could cause feedback from 
nearby microphones.
30. MONITOR METER
This meter shows you the level of the 
monitor mix, after it has passed through the 
monitor level (32) and graphic EQ (29).
The top LED is marked CLIP, and you 
should adjust the levels to avoid this coming 
on.
31. FX TO MONITOR
This knob lets you control how much of 
the internal effects is added to the monitor 
output. The output from the internal effects 
processor is stereo, summed to mono and 
added to the monitor mix.
Adjust the FX level being added, 
compared to the other channels playing in 
the monitor mix.
At the fully-down position, no effects are 
added, the center U mark is unity gain, and 
there is 10 dB of effects gain at the fully 
clockwise position.
