Note: The channels have essentially the same
controls with some minor variations between
Channels 1-2, 3-4, 5/6, and 7/8. The four
different channel types are shown here.
1.
Mic Input: Connect a microphone or
line-level device to these inputs with an
XLR cable.
2.
Line Input: Connect line-level devices to
these inputs with 1/4" cables.
3.
Insert: Use a standard 1/4" TRS cable
to connect an external processor (such
as a compressor, limiter, external EQ
unit, etc.) to this jack. The signal will be
taken after the channel's gain control
and returned before the channel's EQ
controls. The tip of the TRS connection
is the send, and the ring is the return.
4.
Gain: Adjusts the channel audio level
(pre-fader and pre-EQ gain). Adjust this
so that the Signal LED lights up.
5.
Peak LED: The LED will flash if the
signal is clipping. If this happens,
decrease the setting of the Gain knob.
6.
Low Cut Filter: When this button is
depressed, that channel's audio will be
sent through a 75 Hz low-frequency filter
with a slope of 18 dB per octave. This is
useful for reducing low-frequency noise
when using microphones.
7.
Compressor: Adjusts the amount of
compression on the channel, applied by
the mixer's built-in compressor. The
LED next to the knob will light up when
the compressor is on.
8.
Hi EQ: Adjusts the high (treble) frequencies of the channel.
9.
Mid EQ: Adjusts the mid-range frequencies of the channel.
10. Low EQ: Adjusts the low (bass) frequencies of the channel.
11. Monitor Knob: Adjusts the pre-fader level of the signal sent from that channel to the
Monitor Mix, whose level is controlled by the Monitor Fader.
12. DFX Knob: Adjusts the post-fader level of the signal sent to the mixer's effects
processor, whose level is controlled by the DFX Return Fader (DFX Rtn).
13. Channel Pan / Balance: If this knob is labeled Pan, it adjusts the (mono) channel's
position in the stereo field. If the knob is labeled Bal, it adjusts the balance between the
left and right channels of that stereo signal.
14. Channel Mute: Press this button to mute/unmute the channel. The LED next to the
button will light up when the channel is muted.
15. Channel Fader: Adjusts the audio level on the channel.
16. Signal LED (Sig): Indicates that the channel's incoming audio signal is within an optimal
range.
