Note: The signal sent from the internal Digital Effects Processor to the MON mix is
independent from the MON send controls on the channel strips. When a channel’s
EFX control routes a signal to the internal Effects processor and the MON level con-
trol (for that channel) is turned off, the channel’s wet effects will still be audible in the
monitor bus (if the EFX to MONitor return level is turned up).
2. Effects CLIP LED
Situated to the right of the MODIFY EFX control, the CLIP LED indicates that the digi-
tal processor is receiving an input signal that’s too strong, resulting in distortion. For
optimum performance, the CLIP LED should never flash. If there is clipping activity, turn
down the channel EFX controls appropriately.
Built in 9-Band Graphic Equalizer & Shelving EQs
1. General
Each EQ consists of a set of +/-15dB range type controls. In the M608 there are nine
sliders for each channel, each one operating over a 2/3-octave portion of the midrange
band of sound frequencies, as well as rotary shelving Bass and Treble controls.
Note: Equalizers have an effect on the gain of the main system as well as its fre-
quency response. Once adjusted, you may need to adjust the MAIN master level if
the clip LEDs become too active.
2. Main Functions for the Graphic EQ and Shelving Equalizers
i. To adjust the system to help reduce feedback, a normal technique is to turn the
main system up to the point of feedback and then adjust the EQ sliders individu-
ally to determine which frequency band will reduce the potential of feedback.
When the specific frequency band is isolated, set it to about -3 to -5 dB. Usually
only 2 or 3 bands can be reduced before the feedback reduction process begins
to affect the sound quality.
