Members DBR Posted January 24, 2010 Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 Hello Folks,I have read up on the manual and I am not sure about a section when it comes to factory defaults and the sends. I am wondering if the EQ section which to my ears the EQ effects the monitors. If so, I'm not quite clear on how to change the jumper nor am I clear on which jumper to change. Can someone please help? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted January 24, 2010 Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 Not easy. Depending on the version, it may be either solder jumpers or shunts on each channel. Time consuming, and if the solder type you really need to know what you are doing or you can end up with a heck of a mess. IIRC, traces (or trace jumpers) must also be cut for some functions, but I may be mixing this up with a GL mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gonzobassman Posted January 24, 2010 Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 Best to run a 31 band(or even a 15) off every monitor send you are going to use for monitors,and leave that inside stuff alone.Just my opinion,and I'm not one to crack open any mixer.

Members DBR Posted January 24, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 S**t I wasn't clear on the model sorry folks. It's a mixwiz3 16:2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gspointer Posted January 24, 2010 Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 My 3 was pretty easy, a few sgrews to take off the back, then little white jumpers that slide off and on the settings you want. (I know those little plugs have a name, but I can't remember what it is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted January 24, 2010 Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 The "3" has programming shunts (little white slide on jumpers) be very carefull that you don't miss a channel or get a jumper on wrong. Take your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DBR Posted January 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 Thank you for the advice y'all. I am confused about the wording the manual uses to describe the way the factory defaults are set for the Aux channels when it comes to the pre/post EA. Can someone please explain a little bit more clearly if the jumper is pre or post eq? If I moved the jumper to the specified shunt, would that make it so that the eq section is bypassed or active to the monitors? I have an outboard eq for the monitors already and I would like them to be independent from the FOH eq. The manual really confuses me Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gspointer Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 Pre/post eq refers to the eq on the channel strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted January 25, 2010 CMS Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 Can someone please explain a little bit more clearly if the jumper is pre or post eq? If I moved the jumper to the specified shunt, would that make it so that the eq section is bypassed or active to the monitors? I have an outboard eq for the monitors already and I would like them to be independent from the FOH eq. The manual really confuses me Thanks The jumper in question switches between having the *pre-fader* aux sends pre-EQ/pre-Insert (the factory default) and having them post-EQ/post-Insert. This is changed via the jumpers labeled "A-B" on the boards. However, if you change the aux jumpers labeled "E" through "L" to be switchable pre/post fader, then those channels set post-fader will also be post-EQ/Insert if that's how you set jumpers "A-B". Confusing? Yeah, kinda, because you need to be careful of the terms you're reading. Have a look at the MIC/LINE block of the block diagram on page 26. Between that and the location diagram on page 30, it should be vaguely understandable after about a half hour of careful study:facepalm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shaster Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 I own the Mixwiz3 16:2. That model is supposed to come stock with the Aux sends PRE EQ. This is my preferred set-up because I don't want my FOH adjustments to appear in my monitor sends. Are you talking about sends one to four? Double check that this is indeed happening before you open up the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DBR Posted January 28, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 Thank you guys so much. I tried it out today and the monitors are definitely independent from the FOH EQ. I don't need to do squash about squash. I had the concept totally kittywhampus. Thanks again :thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
