PX700DLX/PX900DLX Powered Mixer Features: The Input Channels: • Peak/Signal LEDs for optimum level settings • Three bands of equalization • Monitor, effects, and main level controls • Gain control • Pad switch (channels 1-4 only) to accommodate “hot” signals • 1/4” balanced low impedance and XLR balanced high impedance input jacks • Color coded knobs for ease of reference The Master Section: • Separate 7-band graphic eq’s for Monitor/Main 2 and Main/Main 1 (switchable) • Separate Master level controls for M
PX700DLX/PX900DLX Powered Mixer The “Mono” Input Channels (1-4): 1. PEAK/SIGNAL LED: This LED will illuminate green when a signal is present at the High or Low Z inputs. When the signal nears clipping, the LED will illuminate red. (See Gain control, #8.) 1 2 2. HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high frequency level for the channel. This control allows for 15dB of cut or boost at 12kHz. 3 3. MID: Use this control to adjust the midrange frequency level for the channel.
PX700DLX/PX900DLX Powered Mixer The “Stereo” Input Channels (5-7/5-9): 12. PEAK/SIGNAL LED: This LED will illuminate green when a signal is present at the High or Low Z inputs. When the signal nears clipping, the LED will illuminate red. (See Gain control, #19.) 12 13 13. HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high frequency level for the channel. This control allows for 15dB of cut or boost at 12kHz. 14 14. MID: Use this control to adjust the midrange frequency level for the channel.
PX700DLX/PX900DLX Powered Mixer The Master Section: 23 22 24 26 25 28 27 34 29 30 31 32 22,27. GRAPHIC EQ’S: These seven band graphic equalizers allow customization and shaping of the output signals to match room acoustics and enhance the sound. Use the selector switch (#25) to determine where the equalization will be applied: either to the main and monitor output signals, or to the main 1 and main 2 output signals. 23,28.
PX700DLX/PX900DLX Powered Mixer The Master Section (continued): 43 37 36 38 40 39 41 42 44 36. DSP SELECTORS: Use these switches to select the type of digital signal processing effect to be applied – vocal, large hall, and small hall are reverberation effects; delay is a digital delay effect. 40. AUX IN: Use this jack as the return jack when using an external effects device, or to feed another mixer’s signal into the PX700DLX/PX900DLX. This jack is post-input channel, pre-eq, and pre-power amp. 37.
