CONTROL ELEMENTS

1. XLR MICROPHONE/LINE INPUT

Mono input. Use this input to connect a microphone, musical instrument or audio device (CD-player for example) to the device. The socket is supporting both XLR and unbalanced 6.3mm plugs.

2. GAIN

Determines the basic volume of each channel. Adjust them for the desired volume performance. When the volume level gets too high, the peak LED indicator light will be flashing.

3. HIGH (TREBLE) CONTROLLER

Turn to adjust the high tones with 15dB at 12KHz.

4. MID CONTROLLER

Turn to adjust the mid tones with 15dB at 2.5KHz.

5. LOW (BASS) CONTROLLER

Turn to adjust the low tones with 15dB at 80Hz.

6. AUX CONTROL

Turn to adjust the output level of AUX signal.

7. FX

Turn to adjust the level sent to the internal FX.

8. PEAK LED INDICATOR

When the volume of input signal is too high, the LED indicator light will be flashing. In that case, rotate the gain controller counter clockwise to turn down the volume.

9. PAN

This is the “panorama” control or balance control, determining the position of the signal within the stereo image. When working in subgroups, you can use the pan controller to assign the signal to just one output, which gives you additional flexibility in recording situations.

10. MUTE

The mute switch breaks the signal path pre-channel fader, thus muting that channel in the main mix. The AUX sends which are set to post-fader are muted for that channel too, while the pre-fader monitor paths remain active irrespective of whether the channel is muted or not.

11. PFL

Press to enable PRE FADER LISTENING. This enables you to listen to a channel signal, without affecting the main output signal.

16. CD/TAPE INPUT & OUTPUT

RCA connectors, allowing for connection with playback devices, such as CD players, etc. Use the tape output for connecting with, for example, a tape deck for recording applications.

17. AUX/SEND

The AUX/send 6.3mm jack carries the master AUX mix (from the channels' AUX controls).
