To connect
a
foldback
system,
run a lead from the
AIIX 1
output to the
line input
of
you power
amplifier. As a starting
point
set
the Aux I master
in
the centre
position
and slowly
raise the Aux I
control on the channel that
you
are using.
Adjust
the
Aux I for
each
channel
that is required for foldback
so that
you
have
a suitable
mix
ofall the channels
in
the foldback
speakers.
Effects:
AI-IX 2
and 3 are
post
fader
which
means
that the
position
of the channel slider affects
the amount
of
level
being
sent to these auxiliaries. Aux 2 and
3
would
normally
be used for
effects.
When
using effects, the
Auxiliary
ou@ut sends the signal out of
the mixer,
but the effect
has to
be
returned
and combined
with
the original sigrral.
To connect an effect, run
a
lead from
the Aux 2
or
3
output to the
input
of
yow
effects units.
The
effects unit
will have
one
or
two
outputs
(2
for
stereo), which need to be connected to the returns
of
the mixer. T\e Focus
mixers have
two retum inputs which are
positioned
just
below the master
outputs. The
Volume and Pan contols for
the
returns are below that master LEDs.
The return volume tells the mixer how much of the sigral with effects
is
being
rehrmed.
The retum Pan contol allows
you
to decide if the effect is
going
to be mixed with
both
the left and right outputs or anywhere in between.
When
returning
a stereo effect, run the left effect output into Return I and Pan
firlly
left,
and return
the
right
effect output into Return
2
and
Pan
fuflV right.
This will maintain the
stereo
image that is created from
the
effects unit.
Another method
of
retuming
effects
is
to use the
line input
of
a
spare channel. This
allows
you
to EQ the retum and control the
retum level
from a slider.
If
you
use this
method,
please
make
sure that the
Aux that
you
are retuming is
completely tumed down on tlte channel, otherwise
you
will experience
some loud
squeals.
Foczs mixers have
an monitor output
which
sends
the entire mix
post
faders to the Left
and Right 1/4" monitor outputs.
The MON contol which is
situated
just
above the
headphone
volume
knob
controls the
amormt of
level
going
out the monitor outputs.
