To Pre-Fade Listen any output, leave the Meter Changeover switch on the
corresponding module out, the LED will be off, and press the Output PFL button
whose associated red LED will light.
Any combination of inputs and outputs may be selected for PFL at the same time
except that it is not possible to PFL the input and matrix output of any one module
simultaneously.
Using the Direct Outputs
The Direct Outputs are simple to use. The input signal to each module is
buffered and amplified, directed through a level control and a muting button,
and is presented on an XLR connector directly below the input.
The level of the Direct Output may be measured on the 20 segment bargraph
meter by pressing the Meter Changeover button so that the yellow LED illumi-
nates.
It is also possible to Pre-Fade Listen to any input by pressing the Meter
Changeover button and the corresponding Output PFL button. The signal will
be taken from before the level control and muting switch and directed to the PFL
output XLR.
Using the Matrix Outputs
It is important to note that the Routing Level Controls affect the OUTGOING
signals from each module, therefore to mix eight signals to Matrix Output 8,
for instance, the highlighted controls are used:
The upper row of Mute buttons mute the eight INPUTS to the XL88. The lower
row of Mute buttons mute the eight MATRIX OUTPUTS.
The level of the Matrix Output may be measured on the 20 segment bargraph
meter by leaving the Meter Changeover button out so that the LED is off.
It is possible to pre-fade listen any Matrix Output by leaving the appropriate
