User Guide

The
monitor
outputs would
normally be
used to
feed
another
audio source
such as
a a
house
PA
system,
or to nrn to a tape recorder.
Please note
that the monitor level
is varied
by
both the charurel
and master
sliders.
For foldback,
it is
best
to use the ALIX I
send, urs this
provides
a control on
each
channel, and
allows
you
to set the levels
pre-fader.
Please
see the Auxiliaries
section.
Phantom
Power is needed
when
using electret/condenser
microphones.
These
type
of
mics
(usually
gooseneck
or tie mics) require
a voltage from
the mixer
to work.
With
the Focus mixers,
you
can have
phantom power
on either the first half
or second
half
of
the
mixer,
or on every
channel.
There
are two
phantom
power
switches
just
below the AIIX
outs. The
green
LED
indicates
when
phantom
power
is
on.
Please
note
that
phantom
power
cannot
be used with unbalanced
microphone
To
maintain
the effect
of stereo,
you
will
need
to use two
channels of
the
mixer,
one
channel for left
and
one
for
right.
Set the channels up identically
except for the
Pan controls.
One
pan
should be set
completely left
and the other
completely right.
If
you
are
not
using
effects,
you
can use
the
retums
as inputs.
This will not
grve
you
atry
equalisation,
but
it
will allows
you
to confol the
volume and
pan
controls.
Every
channel
of the Focus mixers has
a l/4" insert
socket. An insert
point
allows
you
to send
your
sigral
out ofthe mixer
and
return
it through
the same
socket. It can
also be used
as a direct
channel output.
The
insert
point
is
normally
used to
place processors
(Compressors,
Equalizers,
Noise
Gates etc)
across a signal
channel. It
therefore
requires
a
3
conductor
(stereo)
jack.
