Depending on the setting of the AUX3 POST switch, it is alsopossible to configure the bus for the connection of an additional, external FX unit. 33. AUX3 SEND This output is meant for the connection of an external FX unit, a power amplifier or acti...

49. MAIN INSERTS Stereo phone jacks for the left and the right channels with breaker function. The low impedance outputis assigned to the tip (send) and the high impedance input (return) is assigned to the ring of theconnector. This jack allows the connection of external EQs, compressors, limiters, ...

55. POWER AMP STATUS indicators These indicators inform you about the momentary operational status of the PSX’s internalpower amplifier. The POWER ON indicator is always lit when the PSX is in operational mode. If the LED is not lit after you have turned the power on, please make sure that the PSX’s...

3. Using the internal power amplifier for monitoring or side-fill purposes: In case you want to use an external power amplifier to drive your main speaker systems, the internal power amplifier can be used for monitoringor side-fill purposes. Use short patch-cables to connect the AUX3 OUTPUT with the...

5. Maximum amount of speakers in a passive configuration: The PSX allows connection of up to three loudspeaker cabinets with an impedance of 8 ohms per channel. In other words: the internal poweramplifier is capable of driving a maximum of six 8 ohm speaker models. The following diagram shows how th...
