Bad Sound
• Is the input connector plugged completely into
the jack?
• Is it loud and distorted? Turn down the output
level on the console.
• Are any of the meters hitting the “OL” mark? Try
turning down the TRIM control (channels 1–12)
or the Digital Trim control (channels 1–48). Or try
turning down the signal source volume control.
• Solo the signal source and listen to it in the
Control Room Output, or with headphones in the
Phones output. Select PFL SOLO in the Studio/
Solo Section. Make sure the SOLO LEVEL control
is turned up in the Studio/Solo Section, and the
Control Room LEVEL control is turned up in the
Control Room Section. If the signal sounds bad
with PFL SOLO selected, the problem lies
somewhere before the channel fader, with the
source itself or the input settings on the console.
If the signal sounds okay, the problem lies
somewhere after the channel fader, with the
output settings or the amplifier/speaker
combination after the console.
Noise/Hum
• Check the signal cable between the console and
the power amplifier. Make sure all connections
are secure.
• Make sure signal cables are not routed near AC
cables, power transformers (wall warts), or other
EMI sources.
• Is there a light dimmer or other triac-based (SCR)
device on the same AC circuit as the console? Use
an AC line filter or plug the console (along with all
other audio equipment) into a different AC circuit.
• If you’re connecting an unbalanced source to the
balanced input using an XLR or TRS connector,
try disconnecting the unbalanced ground from pin
1 (XLR) or sleeve (TRS).

The editing parameters are the tools that allow
you to put some spice into your harmonies or
doubled voices. Some of the editing parameters are When using the Pitch Shift control mode, Interval

adjustment on a keyboard. The detune amount stereo field. Just as with the volume controls, you
ranges from –50 cents to +50 cents (50 cents is will want to set your pan controls differently
equal to 1 semitone). There is also a “normal” or depending on which output mode you are using.

“random” selected, the detune amounts are randomly
generated from 0 detune to the setting for each
harmony voice. Detune is very useful for two
different applications:
