Console layout

The CSX-18 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. The following pages of this manual are divided up into these stages to explain the details and function of each control.

Mic/Line Input Connections

Channel inputs are provided as XLR and/or 6.3mm jack sockets. The connections for these inputs are assigned as follows.

$$ \text { Pin } 1 = \text { Sleeve } = \text { Ground } $$

$$ \text { Pin } 2 = \text { Tip } = \text { Signal } + $$

$$ \text { Pin 3 } = \text { Ring } \quad = \text { Signal- } $$

Channel Functions

1. MIC / Line input Connect a balanced microphone or line input to this XLRF input. An unbalanced microphone or line signal can be connected by XLR provided that +48V phantom power is not used. Wired as follows.

Balanced	Pin 1 = Ground	Pin 2 = Signal +	Pin 3 = Signal -
Unbalanced	Pin 1 = Ground	Pin 2 = Signal +	Pin 3 = Ground

The Mic/Line input can also accept a 6.3mm balanced TRS or unbalanced TS plug (jack plug). Phantom power does not affect this connection. Wired as follows.

Balanced	Tip = Signal +	Ring = Signal -	Sleeve = Ground
Unbalanced	Tip = Signal +	Ring = Ground	Sleeve = Ground

1. Clip LED The CLIP LED lights when the channel is being overloaded. Ideally, the Gain rotary control (described below) should be adjusted so that the loudest passages of the input signal (e.g. bass drum beats) will just momentarily trigger the CLIP LED. Anything longer than a momentary flicker of the CLIP LED means that the Gain should be reduced. Using the PFL button further down the channel strip gives a more detailed view of the channel level on the main VU LEDs.

2. GAIN control This control trims the input signal to the optimum level for the channel strip circuitry. Too low a signal level can result in a weak signal-to-noise ratio and too high can result in overload and distortion in the signal output.

3. Stereo inputs The two right-most input channels on the console are stereo with Left and Right 6.3mm jack inputs. Alternatively, a mono signal can be connected to the Left input jack and the channel will effectively operate as a mono channel.

EQ Section

1. HIGH This control can boost or cut the high frequencies (centre 12kHz) by ±15dB (12 o'clock position is zero)

2. MID This control can boost or cut the mid frequencies (centre 2.5kHz) by ±15dB (12 o'clock position is zero)

3. LOW This control can boost or cut the low frequencies (centre 80Hz) by ±15dB (12 o'clock position is zero)

Channel Routing

1. AUX This control governs the amount of signal from the channel routed to the AUX SEND or auxiliary output to external equipment.
2. POST / PRE Pressing this button in changes the AUX output from POST to PRE. POST is post-fader, meaning the signals to the AUX output are also affected by the channel fader level. PRE is pre-fader, meaning the signals to the AUX output are not affected by the channel fader level.
3. FX This control governs the amount of signal from the channel routed to the effects section
4. PAN/BAL outputs. This control adjusts the amount of signal from the channel fed to Left or Right This varies the point in the stereo field that the signal appears. For ST1 and ST2 channels, the PAN control is replaced with a BAL control for Left/Right balance.

Channel Faders

1. PFL Pre-Fade Listen sends the channel signal direct to monitoring. This means that the channel signal is shown on the main VU LEDs. and routed directly to the headphones output. If many PFLs or AFLs are selected, all are routed to monitoring.
2. Channel fader 60mm fader to adjust the channel level to the master output.

Output Section

1. 2-TRACK INPUT L+R RCA line input shared with MPR
2. 2-TRACK OUT L+R RCA line output for recording or Monitoring (pre-master-fader)
3. MAIN L/R OUT L+R balanced XLR main outputs
4. AUX SEND 6.3mm jack mix of all channel AUX feeds
5. FX MUTE Connect a non-latching footswitch to this 6.3mm jack to mute/unmute the output of the DSP effects when pressed.
6. MONITOR OUT L+R 6.3mm jack outputs for monitoring. Volume is controlled by PHONES LEVEL.
7. PHONES Stereo 6.3mm jack headphones output. Volume is controlled by PHONES LEVEL.
