How to use this manual Format This manual uses a format that is intended to be easy to read, yet technical for those who need to know all the details. For feature descriptions, this is done by devoting the left side of each page to 1) an overall module picture, 2) a block diagram, and 3) a control closeup.These images all pertain to the features and control descriptions on the right side of the page. Also, for certain features like the micro- processor system and the solo system that appear over

1 Mono input module Input EQ features Many audio signals coming into the console require some degree of corrective eq in order to be part of a good sounding mix.The X-Monitor Input EQ allows the user to tailor the incoming sound. The input EQ consists of four bands:high,high-mid,low-mid,and low. The high band is shelv- ing, the low band offers shelving cut with a bell boost. The two mid-bands are bell shaped with a Q of 2 and a generous overlap of adjacent operating frequencies. An independent,
