M2500—Owner’s Manual

Features of the system

• The M2500-24 {32/40C/48C/56C} provides 24

{32/40/48/56} monaural input modules and

four stereo input modules. It also provides 14

AUX outputs, eight group outputs, stereo out-

put, and monaural output, for a generous total

of 25 output buses. The M2500 is ideal for a

wide range of applications from use as a main

PA mixer to use in installed systems.

• Eight independent matrix outputs are provided.

The GRP/AUX, STEREO, and MONO/C chan-

nel output signals and the input signals from

dedicated inputs can be mixed freely, and output

from the eight MATRIX OUT jacks. This is con-

venient for foldback, or for creating individual

mixes for monitor speakers or amps.

• Monaural input channels and GRP/AUX output

channels allow you to select not only conven-

tional LR (stereo) output or monaural output,

but also LCR (stereo+center) output. When LCR

output is selected, the level of the center output

signal is also controlled by the PAN control, for

accurate spatial positioning when a three-chan-

nel stereo+center playback system is used.

• Monaural input channels provide a 26 dB pad,

high pass ﬁlter switch, phase switch, four-band

EQ, and 100 mm full-stroke faders. +48 V phan-

tom power that can be switched on/off individu-

ally for each channel is also provided.

• An INSERT I/O jack is provided on each mon-

aural input channel as well as on the AUX 1–6,

GRP/AUX, STEREO, and MONO/C output

channels. This allows you to insert external

effect units as necessary.

• The GROUP/AUX FLIP switch allows the eight

100 mm fader output channels to be used either

for the GROUP or AUX buses. When used for

the AUX buses, all 14 AUX buses can be con-

trolled by 100 mm faders, which is convenient

when using the M2500 as a stage monitor con-

sole.

• The Scene Memory function allows you to store

the on/off status of each mono/stereo input

channel and GRP/AUX 1–8, STEREO, and

MONO/C output channels as one of 128 scenes.

Scenes can be recalled at any time from the front

panel or via MIDI. In addition, control change

messages can be used to individually switch

these channels on/off from an external device.

• Eight DIRECT RECALL switches are provided

to allow scene memories 1–8 to be recalled at the

touch of a single button. This allows multiple

channels to be switched on/off quickly.

• By changing a setting, the DIRECT RECALL

switches can be used as mute group switches.

Mute group switch settings allow the DIRECT

RECALL switches to individually add/remove

eight sets of mute settings.

• PFL switches are provided on all input channels,

and AFL switches are provided on all master

outputs. In addition, a MASTER PFL switch

allows the master output monitor signal to be

switched between pre/post fader. You can rap-

idly check the input/output signal sources at a

variety of points.

• The talkback signal and the test tone oscillator

(PINK/10 kHz/1 kHz/100 Hz) can be sent to any

of the AUX 1-2, 2-6, 7-10, 11-14, STEREO, or

MONO/C buses.

I

PRE

switches

If these switches are turned on ( ), the post-EQ pre-

fader signal will be sent to the corresponding AUX

buses. If these switches are turned off ( ), the post-

fader signal will be sent. Switches are provided to

independently switch three groups of AUX buses: 3–

6, 7–10, and 11–14.

J

PAN

control

This adjusts the pan or balance of the signal that is

sent from the monaural input channel to the STE-

REO, MONO/C, or GROUP buses. The function of

the PAN control will change as follows, depending on

the setting of the channel assign switch (

K

).

●

When the ST switch is on

PAN will adjust the pan of the signal that is sent from

the monaural input channel to the STEREO L/R bus.

●

When the LCR switch is on

PAN will adjust the pan of the signal that is sent from

the monaural input channel to the STEREO L/R bus

and MONO/C bus.

●

When a 1-2/3-4/5-6/7-8 switch is on

PAN will adjust the balance of the signal that is sent

from the monaural input channel to the odd-num-

bered (1/3/5/7) and even-numbered (2/4/6/8) chan-

nels of the corresponding GROUP bus (1-2/3-4/5-6/

7-8).

switches

When these switches are on ( ), the signal of the

monaural input channel will be sent to the corre-

sponding GROUP bus (1-2/3-4/5-6/7-8).

•

ST

(stereo) switch

When this switch is on ( ), the post-PAN signal of

the monaural input channel will be sent to the STE-

REO bus.

•

MONO

(monaural) switch

When this switch is on ( ), the signal of the monau-

ral input channel will be sent to the MONO/C bus.

•

LCR

switch

When this switch is on, the indicator above the switch

will light, and the post-PAN signal of the monaural

input channel will be sent to the STEREO bus and the

MONO/C bus.

Note:

• The LCR switch takes priority over the ST/MONO

switch. When the

LCR switch is on

, the post-PAN

signal of the monaural input channel will be sent to

the STEREO bus (L/R) and the MONO/C bus regard-

less of the on/off status of the ST/MONO switch.

When the LCR switch is on, the level of the signals

that are sent to the STEREO bus (L/R) and MONO/C

bus will change in response to movement of the PAN

control as shown in the following diagram.

• When the

LCR switch is off

, the ST/MONO switch

will function as a conventional channel assign

switch. If

ST is on

, the post-PAN signal of the

monaural input channel will be sent to the ST bus.

If the

MONO switch is on

, the signal of the mon-

aural input channel will be sent directly to the

MONO/C bus. (The signal sent to the MONO/C

bus will not be affected by the PAN control.) If the

LCR switch is off and the ST/MONO switch is on,

movements of the PAN control will affect the sig-

nal levels sent to the STEREO bus (L/R) and

MONO/C bus as shown in the following diagram.

• The 1-2/3-4/5-6/7-8 switches can always be used,

regardless of the on/off status of the LCR switch.

When the

1-2/3-4/5-6/7-8 switches are on

, the

post-PAN signal of the monaural input channel

will be sent to the corresponding GROUP bus 1–8.

When the 1-2/3-4/5-6/7-8 switches are on, move-

ments of the PAN control will affect the signal lev-

els sent to GROUP buses 1–8 as shown in the

following diagram.

Stereo input channels

The M2500 provides four stereo input channels,

allowing line-level stereo sources such as sub-mixers,

effect processors, and CD players to be input. Of the

stereo input channels 1–4, channel 1 provides both

XLR and RCA phono input jacks, and you can select

and use one of these. Channels 2–4 provide a pair of

TRS phone input jacks. For this reason, there are

slight differences between the controllers of channel 1

and channels 2–4. Our explanation here will be based

on stereo input channel 1, and any differences for ste-

reo input channels 2–4 will be explained later.

A GAIN A control

This adjusts the input sensitivity of the signal that is

input from the XLR connectors of the ST CH 1

INPUT A jacks (page 26). Levels of +10 dB to –30 dB

are supported. If the A/B select switch (3) is in the B

( ) position, this control will have no effect.

B GAIN B control

This adjusts the input sensitivity of the signal that is

input from the RCA phono connectors of the ST CH

1 INPUT B jacks (page 26). Levels of +10 dB to

–20 dB are supported. If the A/B select switch (3) is

in the A ( ) position, this control will have no

effect.

C A/B switch

This selects the input jacks that will be used for stereo

input channel 1. When the switch is in the upward

position ( ), the ST CH 1 INPUT A jacks can be

used. When the switch is in the downward position

( ), the ST CH 1 INPUT B jacks can be used.

D EQ controls

This is a two-band equalizer. The equalizer type, cen-

ter frequency, and gain range of each band is shown

below.

E EQ switch

This turns the equalizer on/off. When the switch is

pressed in ( ), the equalizer is on.

F AUX 1–AUX 14 controls

These adjust the level at which the signal of the stereo

input channel (the L/R input signals mixed to a mon-

aural signal) is sent to the AUX buses 1–14. Placing

the control at the “▲” position will produce nominal

level (0 dB). For AUX buses 1/2, the pre-fader signal

will be output. For AUX buses 3–14, the PRE switch

(7) can be used to switch the signal pre or post

fader.

G PRE switches

If these switches are turned on ( ), the pre-fader

signal will be sent to the corresponding AUX buses. If

these switches are turned off ( ), the post-fader sig-

nal will be sent. Switches are provided to indepen-

dently switch three groups of AUX buses: 3–6, 7–10,

and 11–14.

H BAL control

This adjusts the level balance of the signal that is sent

to the STEREO or GROUP buses.

● If the ST switch is on

The BAL control will adjust the L/R balance at which

the signal of the stereo input channel is sent to the

STEREO bus.

● If a 1-2/3-4/5-6/7-8 switch is on

The BAL control will adjust the balance of the stereo

input channel that is sent to the odd-numbered

channels (1/3/5/7) and even-numbered channels (2/

4/6/8) of the corresponding GROUP bus (1-2/3-4/5-

6/7-8). The L ch of the input signal will be sent to the

odd-numbered channel of the group bus, and the R

channel of the input signal will be sent to the even-

numbered channel of the group bus.

I Channel assign switches

These switches assign the signal that has passed

through the fader and BAL control to the desired

bus(es). Any or all of the channel assign switches can

be used simultaneously.

• 1-2/3-4/5-6/7-8 switches

When these switches are on ( ), the signal of the

stereo input channel will be sent to the correspond-

ing GROUP bus (1-2/3-4/5-6/7-8).

• ST (stereo) switch

When this switch is on ( ), the signal of the stereo

input channel will be sent to the STEREO bus.

• MONO (monaural) switch

When this switch is on ( ), the L and R channels of

the input signal will be mixed to monaural, and sent

to the MONO/C bus. The signal that is sent to the

MONO/C bus is not affected by the BAL control.

J ON/EDIT switch / ON, CHECK indicators

The function of this switch and these indicators will

change depending on the mode of the M2500.

● In normal mode

You can use the ON/EDIT switch to turn the stereo

input channel on/off. When the channel is switched

on/off, the ON indicator will be lit/dark to indicate

the status. Channels that are switched off will not

send any signals to the GROUP, STEREO. MONO/C,

or AUX buses, but you can still use the PFL switch

(M) to monitor the signal from the MONITOR OUT

jacks or the PHONES jack.

● In check mode

When a scene is selected, the on/off status memorized

in that scene will be indicated by the lit/dark status of

the CHECK indicator. In check mode, you can also

use the ON/EDIT switch to switch the CHECK indi-

cator between lit/dark. For details on check mode,

refer to page 32.

K PEAK/NOM/SIGNAL indicators

These three indicators allow you to check the pre-

fader signal level of the stereo input channel.

• PEAK indicator

This will light when the signal mixed to monaural

exceeds nominal level by 17 dB.

• NOM (nominal) indicator

This will light when the signal mixed to monaural

reaches nominal level (0 dB).

• SIGNAL indicator

This will light when the signal mixed to monaural

reaches a level 13 dB below nominal.

L Channel fader

This adjusts the output level of the stereo input chan-

nel signal. This fader affects the level of the signal that

is sent to the GROUP, STEREO, MONO/C, and AUX

(if the PRE switch is off) buses.

M PFL (pre-fader listen) switch

When this switch is on ( ), the pre-fader signal will

be sent to the MONITOR INPUT PFL bus, and can

be monitored from the MONITOR OUT and

PHONES jacks.

AUX 1–6 section

These are the output channels that control the signals

of AUX buses 1–6. The signals that have passed

through these output channels will be output indi-

vidually from the AUX OUT 1–6 jacks (page 27). In

addition, they pass through the MONITOR MASTER

PFL/AFL buses and can be monitored from the

MONITOR OUT L/R and the PHONES jacks.

A ON switches

These turn AUX OUT 1–6 on/off. When a switch is

on ( ), the signal of the corresponding AUX bus

will be output to the AUX OUT jack.

B AUX 1–6 master faders

These adjust the output levels of AUX OUT 1–6.

C AFL (after fader listen) switches

These switches are used to monitor the signal of the

AUX OUT 1–6 section from the MONITOR OUT/

PHONES jacks. When an AFL switch is on (the

switch above the indicator will light), the pre/after-

fader signals of the AUX 1–6 section will be sent to

the MONITOR MASTER PFL/AFL buses respec-

tively, and can be monitored via the MONITOR

OUT/PHONES jacks. At this time, you can use the

MASTER PFL switch (page 19) in the monitor sec-

tion to select whether you will monitor the pre- or

after-fader signal.

GROUP/AUX FLIP switch

The M2500 provides a GROUP/

AUX FLIP switch that

exchanges the output destina-

tions of GROUP buses 1–8 and

AUX buses 7–14.

● When GROUP ( ) is selected

The signals of GROUP buses 1–8 will be routed

through the G1/A7–G8/A14 section, and sent to the

GROUP/AUX OUT jacks, the STEREO bus, MONO/C,

and MATRIX buses. The signals of AUX buses 7–14 will

be routed through the A7/G1–A14/G8 section, and sent

to the AUX GRP OUT jacks. With this setting, AUX

buses 7–14 can be used as conventional AUX buses, and

GROUP buses 1–8 can be used as group buses. This set-

ting is more convenient when you are using the M2500

as a main console, since you will be able to use the 100

mm faders to control the group buses.

● When AUX ( ) is selected

The signals of GROUP buses 1–8 will be routed

through the A7/G1–A14/G8 section and sent to the

AUX/GRP OUT jacks. The signals of AUX buses 7–14

will be routed through the G1/A7–G8/A14 section,

and sent to the GROUP/AUX OUT jacks, the STE-

REO bus, MONO/C, and MATRIX buses.

This setting is more convenient when you are using

the M2500 as a “monitor console” to control individ-

ual monitor levels on stage, since you will be able to

use the 100 mm faders to control each of the AUX

buses (1–14).

H AFL switch

Using this switch, the signal sent to the MONO/C

OUT jack can be monitored from the MONITOR

OUT/PHONES jacks. If the PFL switches of all input

channels are off, turning this AFL switch on (the

indicator above the switch will light) will allow you to

monitor the output signal of the MONO/C section

from the MONITOR OUT/PHONES jacks. Use the

MASTER PFL switch of the monitor section to switch

the monitor signal between pre/post-fader.

Note: When using the AFL switch to monitor the

signal of the MONO/C section from the MONI-

TOR OUT jacks, be aware that the monitor signal

will not be output from the MONITOR OUT

MONO/C jack, but will be output monaurally

from the MONITOR OUT L/R jacks.
