INPUT CHANNEL SECTION

The following section details each part of the XM410's INPUT CHANNELS includ-
ing the 3-BAND EQ, the MONITOR and EFX sends, LEVEL and PAD controls.
HIGH MID LOW - Channel Equalizer
1
The XM410 input channels feature a 3-band equalizer allowing you to adjust the
high, mid, and low frequencies independently on each channel. The channel's
frequency response is flat when the knobs are in the "12:00" position. Rotating
the knob towards the right will boost the corresponding frequency band by
12dB/15dB, and rotating it towards the left will cut the frequency by 12dB/15dB.
The frequency centers, range of boost or cut, and equalizer type for each band
are as follows:
High: 12KHz +/- 15dB shelving type
Mid: 2.5KHz +/- 12dB peaking type
Low: 80Hz +/- 15dB shelving type

AUX 1/MON - Monitor Send
Each of the XM410's channels include a MONITOR send which controls the
amount of that channel's signal that is sent to the MONITOR bus. The Input
channel's MONITOR sends are mixed together and are sent to the speakers con-
nected to the POWER AMP 1 A/B jacks if the POWER AMP select switch is set to
MAIN+MONITOR.

AUX 2 / EFX Effects Send
The XM410 provides high quality, 24 Bit digital effects, and the level of effects
can be set independently on each channel. The channel's EFX (Effects) knob controls the amount of sig-
nal that is sent to the EFX bus. The signal of the EFX bus is routed to the DSP EFX section for on-board
signal processing. The EFX signal can also be sent to an external effect device connected to the EFX
OUT jacks located on the front panel.
NOTE: The channel's EFX signal is sent to the EFX bus from a location in the signal path after the
VOLUME control (4). This is commonly referred as a POST FADER send. This means that the amount of
signal that is sent to the EFFECT bus will be affected not only by the setting of the EFX knob control,
but it will also be affected by the setting of the VOLUME control.

VOLUME - Level Control
The VOLUME control adjusts the output volume of each channel.
5
PAD - Pad Switch
The PAD switch attenuates the input signal by 20dB. When connecting a hot signal such as a line level
device to channels 1-6, or if the mic input is distorted, turn this switch on (the pressed-in position) and
readjust the VOLUME control.
