Stereo Effects Channel

There are eight stereo effects returns incorporated into the Xtramix. Each of the effects returns are individually assignable, in stereo or mono, to the eight subgroups. Each return channel also incorporates a stereo return level control, pan/balance control, stereo/mono select switch and in-place solo switch.

1. Return Level - This control is a dual rotary potentiometer that simultaneously and equally adjusts both the left and right channel levels.

2. Return Pan - This control when used in conjunction with the Channel Subgroup Assign Switches, allows the effects return to be assigned to any of eight individual subgroups or any of four subgroup pairs. When an effects return is operated in the stereo mode, this control acts as an odd/even (left/right) balance for the selected subgroup pair.

3. Mono Switch - Depressing this switch sums the left and right effects inputs creating a mono composite. This feature will prove useful if a stereo effect is to be assigned to a single subgroup or specifically placed somewhere in the left to right perspective of a stereo subgroup. A yellow LED illuminates when the Mono Switch is enabled.

The Back Panel of the Xtramix has a total of 115 input and output connections.

Each of the 8 effects channels has a left and right 1/4" input jacks for the stereo Effects Return as well as an Effects Send output jack, an Effects Send Master control. The effects Sum input jacks allow the Xtramix to combine the effects sends from an external mixing console.

4. Effects Return Assign -This bank of pushbutton switches, in conjunction with the input channel Balance/Pan Control, allows an effect return channel to be assigned to any of eight individual subgroups or any of four subgroup pairs. A channel is muted as long as it is not assigned to any subgroup(s).

5. Assign Changeover Switch - In the up position, the Subgroup Assign Switches will select subgroups 1 through 4. When depressed the Subgroup Assign Switches will select subgroups 5 through 8.

6. Effects Return Solo - In-Place soloing allows you to isolate any stereo channel while maintaining its stereo perspective. A red LED illuminates any time its associated Effects Return Solo Switch is depressed.
