SPECIFICATIONS – PAGE 25
MONO INPUTS (E and ES Models)
Mic Input
A balanced female XLR connector accepts
balanced or unbalanced mic signals. At -128dbu
EIN the mic amp is extremely quiet and
transparent.
Line Input
A balanced 1/4” jack for connecting balanced or
unbalanced electronic instruments, such as
keyboards.
Insert
Used for patching in compressors or additional
EQ or for other signal processors. It can also be
used for recording to multi-track recorders if
necessary.
Gain
A rotary gain control on each input alters the
gain of the input signal, from +5 to +60dB.
Linear circuitry within the preamp delivers
smooth gain control over the entire gain range.
EQ Section
Equalisation is split into three bands. The HF
control provides 15dB of cut or boost (gain
adjustment) for frequencies above 12kHz. Two
swept mid frequency controls enable frequencies
from 140Hz to 3kHz to be adjusted, offering
15dB of cut or boost at the selected frequency.
Signals below 80Hz can be adjusted with the LF
control, which features ±15dB of gain
adjustment (cut or boost).
Auxiliary Section
For sending separate monitor mixes in live
applications, or for use with fx units two aux
sends on each input channel cater for all
requirements. Each Aux bus can be globally
switched to be pre or post fade on the master
section.
Pan, Muting, and SOLO
The pan control positions each channelís signal
across the stereo image, with a mute button to
cut the signal completely. A SOLO button solos
the signal for monitoring.
Faders and Metering
Each mono channel features a smooth 100mm
fader, and a peak level LED indicating signal
levels in excess of +17dBu.
STEREO INPUT (E6, 8 and 12 models)
Input Connectors
The stereo inputs are connected via balanced
1/4” jack inputs delivering optimum performance
with other professional audio equipment.
EQ Section
Equalisation on the stereo channel strip is
simpler than the EQ featured on the mono
channels. There are two controls, adjusting HF
signals at 12kHz and LF signals at 80Hz by
±15dB.
Auxiliary Section
With 2 aux sends on the stereo input channels,
the signal can be sent pre-fade or post-fade
according to master selection, for use in a
monitor mix or for effects processing.
Bal, Muting, and PFL
The balance control adjusts the amount of the
signal sent to the left and right busses. Mute
and SOLO buttons operate as on the mono
input channels, cutting or soloing the stereo
channel. With SOLO pressed, the prefade signal
is fed to the headphones, control room output
and meters.
Faders and Metering
Each stereo channel features a smooth 100mm
fader, and a peak level LED indicating signal
levels in excess of +17dBu.
STEREO INPUT (ES Model)
The full-function stereo input on the ES has the
same line input gain, auxiliary and fader controls
as the standard E Series stereo input, but has an
enhanced connectivity set and EQ section.
ES Stereo Input Connections
Each stereo input has a balanced 1/4” jack for
connecting line level balanced or unbalanced
electronic instruments, such as keyboards. Stereo
inputs 1-2 also feature RIAA-equalised inputs on
RCA Phono connectors for turntable inputs. Stereo
inputs 3-6 also have parallel unbalanced RCA
Phono inputs for line level signals.
EQ Section
Equalisation is split into three bands. The HF
control provides 15dB of cut or boost (gain
adjustment) for frequencies above 12kHz. A Mid
control offers 15dB of cut or boost at a frequency
of 600Hz. Signals below 80Hz can be adjusted
with the LF control, which features ±15dB of gain
adjustment (cut or boost).
MASTER SECTION
Phantom Power
Global control over professional +48V phantom
power is offered via a push button. When active,
an LED will illuminate.
2-Track Inputs and Outputs
2-track recorder playback inputs and record sends
are on unbalanced RCA phonos.
Monitor Playback routes the playback input to
your monitoring system or to the headphones,
replacing any existing monitoring signals.
Plyback to Mix routes the playback signal directly
to the main mix, replacing any signal that may be
present.
Monitor Output and Mix Insert
Available on balanced 1/4” jacks.
Mix Outputs and Mono Sum
The main left and right mix outputs are provided
on balanced XLR connectors.
Playback Level
The playback gain control adjusts the level from
the 2-track playback inputs.
Monitor & Phones Level
Levels sent to the monitor output and headphones
can be adjusted using these two rotary controls.
And when a pair of headphones are plugged into
the phones socket at the bottom right of the
mixer, the monitor outputs are still operational for
simultaneous listening by a performer and
engineer.
Faders and Metering
Controlling the overall stereo mix level are two
100mm faders, with two 10-segment 3-colour
LED peak-reading bargraph meters monitoring the
mix right and mix left outputs. These meters
normally follow the current monitor selection, so if
any PFL or AFL is pressed, the meters will switch
to monitor this and the Solo AFL/PFL LED will
light.
