Dec 12, 2008 I haven't opened the user's manual! SOUNDS The mixer has a transparent sound. I tested it for mixing using Logic Audio in the box or with the Spirit as a summing device, and I can hardly hear or see (with the max. Waveform zoom in the sequencer) any sound difference. Soundcraft Spirit Folio 10-2 Mixing Desk Spirit Folio console brings you the expertise and support of one of the industries leading manufacturers and the results of over 20 years experience supporting some of the biggest names in the business. Built to the highest standards using quality components.
INITIAL SETTING UP
You will probably use your SPIRIT FOLIO RAC PAC with a wide range of different types of sound source, and these will
be at varying signal levels. It is important to set the GAIN of the inputs correctly to give the best performance.
Set up the individual Mono input channels as follows:
••
Plug in the chosen source (usually the MIC input for mics and the LINE input for anything else). Plug in phantom
powered mics before switching the phantom power on. Set the channel fader fully down.
••
Set the Group and Master Faders at 0 and GROUPS TO MIX pressed.
••
Select MIX to C/Room & Phones.
••
Check that SOLO MODE is released.
••
Release the channel routing switches to route to Groups 1-2
••
Provide the chosen source with a typical signal level and press the latching PFL button by the fader. The level of
signal will be shown on the right-hand Bargraph Meter (the Left meter will be switched off when the PFL button is
down).
••
Adjust the input GAIN until the meter is just reaching the amber LED (0dB) at a typical maximum source level with
a steady signal. If the source signal is rich in high-level transients (e.g. drums) a rather higher meter reading of
+6/+9 will be needed to achieve an equivalent average level. This leaves enough headroom to cope with peaks
in the signal without distortion.
••
Adjust each input channel in the same way.
••
If you find that you cannot set a reasonable level within the range of the GAIN control when using a MIC input
on the Mono channels, try the LINE input instead.
Stereo inputs 11-14 do not have a GAIN control, since the typical source for these inputs will be external tape machines
or effects units which have a much more predictable signal level. Set the +4/-10 switch to +4 (released) initially, and
check the input level with the PFL switch as decribed above. If the level is too low, switch to the -10 input setting.
You will now have initial settings for each of the input sources and are ready to start building a mix.
••
Connect your power amplifiers and speakers and set the gain of the amplifiers to about 70%.
••
Move the individual channel faders gradually to the required working level, listening carefully for any hint of
feedback or overload. You may find that the input gain settings will need to be edged back slightly as the mix is
built up.
••
Listen carefully for the characteristic sound of feedback. If you cannot achieve a satisfactory input level setting
without feedback, adjust microphone and speaker positions and try again.
Careful microphone placement and the choice of a suitable type of microphone is important for vocals. The aim should
be to place the microphone as close as possible to the source, to cut out unwanted surrounding sounds. This allows a
lower gain setting on the mixer and helps to avoid feedback. You will also find that a well-placed microphone will not
need any appreciable equalisation.

STEREO RETURNS
There are four Stereo Returns, which have similar controls but different routing
configurations to provide the maximum flexibility. Each Return has an
unbalanced stereo input on 3-pole A gauge (TRS) jacks. If a mono source is
to be used, plugging into the Left jack automatically feeds the signal equally to
both sides of the Return.
1 LEVEL
The LEVEL control sets the overall signal level, and enough gain is available to
match both +4dBu and -10dBV sources. Rotation clockwise increases the gain
of the input.

Each Return may access Aux 1 (Pre-fade) and one of the post-fade sends.
Returns A & C feed to Aux 3 and Returns B & D feed to Aux 4. The controls
should be turned fully anticlockwise when not in use.
3 BALANCE
This control sets the amount of the channel signal feeding the pairs of Groups

or Mix, allowing you to balance the source in the stereo image. When the control
is turned fully right or left you feed only that side of the signal to the destination
selected by the Routing switch (see below).
4 PFL
When the PFL (Pre-Fade-Listen) switch is pressed a mono sum of the pre-fade
signal is fed to the headphones or monitor output, replacing the selected source.
The PFL LED on the Master section illuminates to warn that the headphones,
monitor and right bargraph meter are now responding to the PFL/AFL selection.
5 ROUTING
This switch selects either a pair of Groups (switch released) or Mix (switch
pressed) as the destination for the Stereo Return signal after it has passed through
the BAL control. Returns A & B route to Groups 1 & 2, and Returns C & D route
to Groups 3 & 4. The left return signal feeds the odd-numbered Group or Mix
Left, while the right return signal feeds the even-numbered Group or Mix Right.
