Using the Midas XL88

Signal Paths

There are four types of signal path through the XL88:

1) Input to Direct Output

2) Input to Matrix Output

3) Input to Pre-Fade Listen

4) Matrix Output to Pre-Fade Listen

1) Input to Direct Output. Using Module 1 of the XL88 as an example, the

input to the module takes the following signal path:

Input XLR 1

Direct Output Level Control

Direct Output Mute

Direct Output XLR 1

The Direct Output Level Control can vary the level from no signal to +10dB. The

Direct Output Mute cuts the signal and is active when the button is depressed and

the red LED glowing.

The level of the Direct Output can be measured on the 20 segment LED bargraph

meter by leaving the Meter Changeover button out. When this button is out,

the input signal to the module is available for Pre-Fade Listen.
