Two Auxiliary Outputs are provided. Aux Output A is unbalanced. Aux Output B is balanced. Each Output features off to +6 dB Level controls. Each Output may be assigned Pre-Master Effects loop, Post-Master Effects loop or Post Master Effects loop plus Mic. These features provide the flexibility to use the Aux Outputs for recording or additional zones.

High performance VCA level controls are used for House and Booth level, providing very low travel noise and long life. A Master left/right balance control and recessed Master Mono switch with LED indicator are provided.

A high-performance Master Limiter with true RMS detectors limits both House and Booth maximum levels. The rear panel threshold control range is ±20 dBu. Threshold indicators are provided on both the front and rear panels.VR 1 Remote Control

The optional Rane VR 1 Remote Level control may be used to externally control the House Output. A remote DC Level Control port allows 40 dB of Master Mix gain control. Any linear potentiometer from 10k to 100k ohms works with the internal reference. An external ground referenced control voltage (0 to 5 VDC) may also be used. The gain control law is 125 mV/dB.

Applied signal on the Emergency Page Input automatically mutes all program material at House and Booth Outputs. The Emergency Page level is set independently using a recessed rear panel control.

Two CD Trigger Outputs are provided via 3.5 mm mini TRS jacks. Outputs are normally high with 50 ms active low trigger pulses. Start is on tip and stop is on sleeve. Ring has no connection. The CD Trigger Enable switch is located on the front panel.
