Mono Input channel 1 Front panel features Line Input (Mic Pad) With this switch in the UP position, the input preamp circuit is set up to accept a mic-level signal. This signal is brought in via the XLR mic-input connector located on the rear panel.The 1/4" TRS input jack is ignored. When the switch is depressed, a Pad is inserted into the signal path and the input preamp circuit is set up to accept a line-level signal from either the XLR mic-input connector or the 1/4" TRS input jack, both loca

Mono Input channel 1 Front panel features Equalizer (EQ) Many audio signals coming into the console require some degree of corrective eq in order to be part of a good sounding mix. XRM offers a 4-Band EQ on each channel.The input EQ consists of the bands: High, High-Mid, Low-Mid and Low.The High and Low frequency bands are shelving equalizers, each have a boost/cut control and their frequencies are fixed.The High-Mid and Low- Mid bands have a bell-shaped response, each band features variable boo

Mono Input channel 1 Front panel features Mix Send features The XRM is capable of generating 12 mono mixes, 6 stereo mixes, or a combination of both mono and stereo mixes. Each of the six Odd/Even pairs of sends can be configured as a stereo pair- the Odd pot becomes the level control, the Even pot becomes the pan pot.The changeover to stereo operation is controlled by the STR PAIR switches located above the master faders.A LO CUT switch is also present for activating the hi-pass filter (40Hz, -

Mono Input channel 1 Front panel features Channel Level and Control This next set of controls allows the operator to control and monitor the overall level of the channel signal. Mute Sw and LED The Mute switch kills the channel signal and prevents it from feeding any Mix Send pots.The mute- element itself is a FET transistor, allowing for timed, ramped on-off control of the channel signal.This avoids any “pops and clicks” when muting a channel. Normally, the Mute will also affect the PRE signals

For dynamic or ribbon mics, phantom voltage is not required and should be switched OFF. NOTE 1: Operating this switch (On or Off) causes large voltage swings to occur at the input of th

In combination with the female XLR, it forms a passive,Y-Split of the input signal.This split-signal can be used to feed the mic input to another mixer (usually the FOH mixer), or to “mult” the input to another chan- nel on the XRM.

Stereo Input channel 2 Front panel features The XRM features four, full-function Stereo Input channels.These inputs are labeled S1 thru S4 and are located directly left of the master section. Each stereo channel features two mic preamps, so mic-level stereo sources can be processed on one common channel. In cases where just a mono source is present, the SUM INPUTS switch allows a mono source (plugged into either left or right input) to feed both sides of the stereo chan- nel, effectively turning
