ENGLISH ™ S-24 Mixing Console Description The S-24 Sanctuary Series is a 21 channel mixing console specifically designed to meet the needs of churches, schools and public venues. The challenge of these applications is to provide high quality sound where the experience of the operator ranges from novice to experienced. In many cases, these sound systems are used without an operator. The S-24 mixing system meets these challenges by incorporating a unique set of features which not only make it easi

™ The headphone amplifier with headphone/meter selector switch is another important tool for setting and operating the S-24 . The user can listen to and observe the level of the main L/R output, hear the mix and monitor the level to Monitor outputs 1 and 2 or listen to the stereo channels to cue tapes or CDs without sending the signal to the house or monitor amplifiers. Note: As with all professional audio products, the performance is only as good as the installation allows. Please take the time

1. COMPRESSOR THRESHOLD: The first four channels have auto-mixing and compressor capabilities when assigned to the pulpit or wireless group. These soft-knee compressors are designed to keep levels from getting out of hand. The threshold control sets the level at which compression begins. The CMP LED located beside the channel’s fader lights indicate that compression is taking place. To set it, start with the control fully clockwise and turn it down to the point that the LED lights only on the oc

6. MONITOR SEND (1–2): The monitor sends adjust the level of the channel signal added to the monitor mix. For ™ the Automix channels 1-4, the monitor send is post EQ, post fader, post Automix . On channels 5-24, the monitor sends are post-EQ, pre-fader. The center detent is the unity gain (nominal) position. 7. EFFECTS SEND: This adjusts the level of the channel signal (post EQ, post fader) added to the effects mix. The signal is sent to the internal effects processor and to a master effects s

™ 11. FADER: This is the channel output-level control. This control works somewhat differently on the Automix channels 1–4 and the remaining inputs. On channels 1–4, the fader scale is from off to 0 dB. The gain on these channels is best adjusted so that feedback will not occur with the fader set at 0. The fader will then be operated in the black area (0 to -20 dB). On the remaining channels the fader scale is from off to +10 dB of gain. The optimum setting for these channels is the 0 (unity gai

Master Functions: 17. PHANTOM POWER: Applies +48 VDC voltage to the input XLR connectors to power microphones requiring it. If phantom power is used, do not connect unbalanced dynamic microphones or other devices to the XLR inputs that cannot handle this voltage. An LED indicates when phantom power is on. 18. EFFECTS SELECT: There are four pre-programmed reverbs built into the console ranging from small to large. Use this switch to select the reverb that best fits the style of music being perfor

26 25 27 25. OFF-LEVEL THRESHOLD: The solo and the choir groups have adjustable threshold downward expanders that reduce noise by lowering the signal when the level drops beneath a set point. This not only cleans up background noise, but also reduces feedback problems by attenuating mics assigned to this group when there is no activity. An LED indicates that the group is being attenuated. To disable noise reduction, set the control to minimum (off). 26. COMPRESSION THRESHOLD: In addition to nois

CONFIGURATION: The main outputs can be configured as full stereo or as a mono sum of the left and right signals. When in dual- mono mode, the left and right outputs become individual outputs with 33 their levels set independently by their master faders. 33.

It can be set by listening to the headphone output on the recorder. 46. EFFECTS SEND: An unbalanced output of the dry signal that is also sent to the internal effects processor. It can be used to drive an external effects unit or as an additional monitor output (Monitor 3). If used as an additional output, be sure to mute the internal effects processor 47. AUX O

Planning the installation: ™ The different inputs on the S-24 are designed for different functions. Before starting the installation, it is important to plan what will be connected to each input and output. NOTE: Many of the benefits that the S-24 offers require careful initial setup. This can all be quickly undone by curious fingers on a panel full of neat-looking knobs and switches. When you plan and install this product, make sure that it is installed where the operator can hear the sound sys

™ The S-24 has two additional buses that allow mics to be grouped for noise reduction and compression. Try to group mics together on adjacent inputs that will be used together. Singing mics, particularly hand held mics, should be assigned to the SOLO group since it has a filter to reduce rumble and handling noise. Instruments are best routed to the CHOIR group. IMPORTANT ➧ Inputs 19/20, 21/22 and 23/24 are designed for line-level signals only. Use these inputs to connect CD players, tape player
