1 Owner’ s Manual Owner’ s Manual 12. INSER T (CH. 1 to 6) These unbalanced 1/4" jacks on channels 1 to 6 are for connecting serial effects processors such as compres - sors, equalizers, de-essers, or filters. The insert point is after the gain switch [28] and compressor circuits (on channels 1 – 4), but before the channel’ s EQ an[...]

1 PPM608 PPM608 15. FX/MON 2 SEND OUTPUT This 1 / 4 " TRS line-level output can be used to feed an external effects processor (FX) or a second set of stage monitors (mon 2). The output from here is a copy of what goes into the internal FX processor , being the care- ful mix of all channels whose FX/mon 2 control [22] is turned more than min[...]

1 Owner’ s Manual Owner’ s Manual EFFECTS: SERIAL OR P ARALLEL? “Serial” means that the entire channel signal leaves the mixer (insert [12] send), is routed through the effects device, and returns to the mixer (insert return).

1 Owner’ s Manual Owner’ s Manual 21. MON 1 This control allows you set up a nice monitor mix, independent of the main mix or the monitor 2 mix. Adjust these controls on each channel until your band is happy with the stage monitor mix. The controls are off when turned fully down, deliver unity gain at the center detent, and can provide up to[...]

18 PPM608 PPM608 28. GAIN SWITCH Press this in (low) if you ar e connecting a line-level input source to channels 1 to 6. Press this out (high) if you ar e connecting a micro- phone-level signal to channels 1 to 8, or a instrument- level signal to channels 5 and 6 only (hi-z switch in).

19 Owner’ s Manual Owner’ s Manual 29. COMPRESSOR Channels 1 to 4 have an in-line compressor circuit with a variable threshold. This is very useful for com- pression of vocals, for example. When the incoming signals exceed the threshold level set by this knob, the signal level is automatically com- pressed. This r educes the dynamic range, and [...]
