HIGH EQ
1
This High EQ shelving type of active tone control varies the tre-
ble frequencies (+/- 15dB at 12kHz) and is designed to remove
noise or add brilliance to the signal, depending on the quality of
the source.
MID-MOrPH® EQ
2
Where most mid-range controls work at just one frequency, the
Mid-Morph works at two. When turned counterclockwise, it cuts
at 250 Hz to reduce frequencies that muddy the sound. When
turned clockwise, it boosts at 4 kHz to add intelligibility to
vocals. Either way, improved vocal or instrument definition can
be achieved.
LOW EQ
3
A shelving type of EQ that varies the bass frequency levels (+/-
15dB at 80Hz). Low EQ adds depth to thin-sounding signals or
cleans up the muddy ones. As with any EQ, use sparingly. Too
much of this EQ can give you a booming bottom end.
EFX - DIGItaL EFFECtS
4
This control adjusts the level of the channel signal added to the
effects mix. The signal is sent to the internal effects processor.
Turning the knob to the left (0) will turn off effects on the associ-
ated channel, while turning the knob to the right will increase
the amount of the selected effect.
LEVEL
5
This control sets the signal level sent to the main mix.
CLIP
6
When this LED turns or blinks red, it is an indication that the sig-
nal coming into the channel is too strong, potentially causing
distortion. Turn down the Level control (5) until the Clip light
is no longer present. If you are having difficulty getting a clean
signal, try varying the output of the connected device.
SIG
7
When this LED is green, it is an indication the mixer is receiv-
ing signal at the input of the channel. If you are having trouble
getting sound out of the mixer and this LED is not on, check the
microphone, instrument or cable that is connected to the channel.
MIC/LINE INPut
8
This combination input jack can accept either a 1/4" (balanced or
unbalanced) input or an XLR balanced, low-impedance connec-
tion. The tip is positive on the 1/4" balanced input, and pin 2 is
positive on the XLR.
8b
MIC/HI Z INPut
Channel 5 line input is a Hi-Z unbalanced input for use with high
impedance microphones, acoustic/electric guitars or other high
impedance sources equipped with a 1/4" plug (TS).
