Graphic equalisers plugged into the console inserts are an invaluable aid to reducing
on-stage acoustic feedback and enhancing the clarity of the monitors. Using the
inserts allows the stage engineer to check the operation of the equalisers in his wedge
monitor. It is best to use the same type of loudspeaker for the engineers monitor as
the stage monitors.
Set up the WEDGE MIX by selecting one
or a combination of the group/L/R AFL
(monitor 1 to 6) switches to listen to the
desired stage monitor outputs. These are
post insert (post graphic EQ) and post
output fader for accurate monitoring.
Pressing any PFL switch automatically
overrides the selected AFL source to allow
channel setup and signal checking.

Set the MONITOR MODE
switch to the down position
(below panel) for the wedge
monitor output (AFL
interrupted by PFL).
These switches are recessed
to avoid accidental
operation. Set using a pen
tip or pointed object.
Set the REV switches to
the down position to route
the aux mix through the
main outputs to provide the
stage monitor sends.

With dedicated output for the stage engineers wedge loudspeaker.
This example shows the 6 aux sends routed
through the main outputs to provide 6 inde-
pendent stage monitor mixes with metering,
mutes, AFL, inserts and balanced XLR connec-
tors.
The REV switches reroute the groups and L-R
mix to the aux jack outputs for additional moni-
tor or effects sends, or as an independent submix
facility. For example the aux 5 and 6 jack
outputs may provide a separate stereo mix out-
put fed from the channel L-R switches and the
additional 4 return line inputs.
To add effects such as delay or ADT to the stage
monitors the signal/s may be routed to a group
(available at the aux jack output), using the
master LEV to control the send level, and
returning the effect to an unused channel using
the aux send controls to set the required amount
of effect to each monitor.
