Connectors and controls
Front panel
Hexacon has the following sockets and controls
on the front (from left to right):
DIRECT IN jack
This 1/4" TRS jack serves as an alternative input for the MAIN INPUT on
the rear: once you plug a TRS connector to that jack, the signal at the
MAIN INPUT in the MAIN bus is deactivated. Now the DIRECT IN signal
is fed to all 6 headphone channels via the MAIN bus. This allows to
input an alternative monitoring signal to your headphone channels,
when Hexacon is mounted in your studio rack and normally gets its
signal from the MAIN INPUT.
MASTER VOLUME control
This knob controls the level in the MAIN bus. The level in the MAIN bus
is always displayed on the 8-segment level meter next to the DIRECT
IN socket, regardless whether the DIRECT IN is used or not.
Since all headphone channels are identical,
we will only explain channel 1:
MONO L and MONO R buttons
These buttons change the routing for the headphone output: the
routing is toggled post-Fader and post-EQ. The following modes are
available:
Both buttons pressed: the signal is played back in stereo.
MONO L button is pressed, MONO R is not pressed: the left channel
of the stereo input signal is routed to the headphone output in
mono, the right channel is muted.
MONO L button is not pressed, MONO R is pressed: the right channel
of the stereo input signal is routed to the headphone output in
mono, the left channel is muted.
Both MONO L and MONO R buttons are pressed: both channels of
the stereo input signal are summed to mono and routed to the
headphone output
OUT jack
The 1/4" TRS jack OUT is used to connect a stereo headphone. Alternatively,
you can feed the signal to another headphone via this output. There is
a parallel output on the rear of Hexacon.
BASS control
This knob boosts or cuts the frequency range below the cutoff
frequency 100 Hz. The control range of this shelving fi lter is +/-10dB.
In the middle position (0) the fi lter has no eff ect.
Treble control
This knob boosts or cuts the frequency range above the cutoff
frequency 10 kHz. The control range of this shelving fi lter is +/-10dB.
In the middle position (0) the fi lter has no eff ect.
BALANCE control
Depending on the channel's signal fl ow, the BALANCE knob has two
functions.
The AUX IN jack on the rear is not used
If the channel derives its signal from the MAIN INPUT, the BALANCE
knob controls the L/R balance of the signal in the MAIN bus.
The AUX IN jack on the rear is used
If the channel derives its signal from the AUX IN socket on the rear, the
BALANCE knob controls the mix between the signal in the MAIN bus
and the AUX IN signal. For example, you could feed the playback of the
band to the MAIN INPUT, while the vocals are connected via the AUX
IN input: using the BALANCE knob, the singer can mix the playback
with his vocals as required.
VOLUME control
This knob controls the output level of the signal in the MAIN bus to the
headphone. The 8-segment level meter shows the output level for the
corresponding headphone.
Power switch
The POWER switch turns Hexacon on and off .
