Effects On Button (AM105FX and AM125FX only)
Pushing this button will turn the built-in effect
processor on and off.
23.
Variation Control (AM105FX and AM125FX only)
This LED indicator will illuminate when the EFX
signal hits high peaks, just before overload occurs.
It is best to adjust the EFX to Main control so as to
ensure the Peak indicator does not light up.

2T Return Controls
Pushing either one of the buttons in the 2T Return
Control Section selects the destination of the 2T
Return signal. The uppermost button ("to L/R") sends
the signal to the Main L-R mixing bus, whereas
the lower button (either "to Phones" or "to Ctrl Rm"
) sends the signal to the Phones or Control Room/
Phones mixing bus, respectively. These buttons can,
of course, be used simultaneously, feeding the signal
to both the Control Room/Phones and Main L/R
mixing bus. If the "to Phones" or "to Ctrl Rm" buttons
are not engaged, the Phones and Control Room
outputs will receive the Main L-R signal.
25.
AUX / EFX Send Control (AM125
and AM125FX only)
This control adjusts the level of signal,
taken from each individual channel's AUX
controls, will be sent to the AUX send
output. In the case of the AM125FX, the
EFX control will adjust the level of signal
taken from the built in effect processor to
the EFX send output.
26.
Phantom Power Switch
When this switch is in the on position it activates
+48V of phantom power for both microphone inputs,
allowing condenser microphones to be used on
these channels.
NB. Phantom Power should be used in conjunction with
condenser microphones only. However many modern
microphones are unaffected by Phantom Power, so it's best to
consult your mic's user's manual for details.
27.
Phones (Control Room/Phones) Control
On the AM55, this control is used to adjust the
audio level of the phones feed, to be sent to the
Phones output. It can be used in conjunction with
headphones or, if required, as an auxiliary output.
On the AM85, AM105, AM105FX, AM125 and
AM125FX, however, this control adjusts not only the
phones level, but the signal level sent to the Control
Room output also. The Control Room output is
commonly used in monitoring, as a side fill, or for the
addition of other, external devices.

AUX/EFX to CTRL Button (AM125 and
AM125FX only)
Pushing this button will send the signal from the AUX
or EFX mix to the Control Room mix. This is useful
for monitoring of the EFX mix or for the tracking of
individual instruments.

Main L/R Control
This control is final level control for the main left and
right audio feed, sent to the Main L and R output.
30.
Level Meter
The AM series' 4-segment level meters give an
accurate indication of when audio levels of the MAIN
L/R output reach certain levels. It is suggested
for the maximum use of audio to set the various
levels controls so that the peak light flashes only on
occasionally (and perhaps it is better if to leave it a
pinch below this level).

Power Indicator

The Power Indicator will light up when the power of
the mixer is on.
