Caution: Please read this manual carefully before operating Damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty Introduction Thank you for choosing a CSP/CSL mixing console as part of your professional sound system. This product has been developed to provide a wide range of facilities for professional and reliable sound reinforcement. Please read and keep this manual to achieve the best results from your purchase and avoid damage through misuse.
Console layout Each CSP/CSL mixing console has comprehensive input and output sections which can be split further into various stages of processing and routing. All preamps have studio grade, low noise architecture for the cleanest possible path throughout the signal chain. The input stages are repeated across each channel of the console, which simplifies operation and enables quick and easy location of various controls.
Mic/Line Input Section Channel inputs and inserts are provided as XLR and/or 6.3mm jack sockets. The connections for these inputs are assigned as follows. 1. MIC input Balanced Unbalanced 2. LINE input Balanced Unbalanced 3. 4. L/MONO input RIGHT input Balanced Unbalanced 5. GAIN control Connect a balanced microphone to this XLRF input. An unbalanced microphone can be connected provided that +48V phantom power is not used. Wired as follows.
EQ Section 6. HIGH This control can boost or cut the high frequencies (centre 12kHz) by ±15dB (12 o’clock position is zero) 7. MID This control can boost or cut the mid frequencies (centre 2.5kHz) by ±15dB (12 o’clock position is zero) 8. LOW This control can boost or cut the low frequencies (centre 80Hz) by ±15dB (12 o’clock position is zero) Channel Routing 9. AUX This control governs the amount of signal from the channel routed to the AUX SEND or auxiliary output to external equipment.
Graphic Equalizer The main EQ is a stereo 7-band graphic equalizer, offering refined audio spectrum shaping and feedback control for live mic situations. 15. EQ sliders. Each slider controls a boost or cut of up to 12dB centred at the specified frequency. DSP Effects Engine CSP and CSL series mixers each have an internal 24-bit DSP processor for audio effects, as detailed on the DSP Table (on the following page) 16. 6-segment LED Indicates overall input level to DSP 17.
