2 A Tour of the MultiMix USB2.0
EQ
The MultiMix gives you three bands of EQ per channel. Using these knobs, you can tailor the channel’s signal by boosting some frequencies and cutting others. The LO and HI controls are shelving controls with fixed frequencies of 75 Hz and 12 kHz respectively. The MID control has a peaking response fixed at 2.5 kHz.
“Shelving” means that the mixer boosts or cuts all frequencies past the specified frequency. “Peaking” means that frequencies above and below the specified frequency fall off, forming a peak in a graphical representation.
Master Section
The Master Section is the heart of the mixer, where the channel inputs and aux returns all are mixed together and routed in various ways.
Main Mix
The signals from all channels and aux sends are sent to the main mix. The MAIN MIX level control is the one you’ll use to control the overall level of those combined signals. This knob affects the levels of the signals sent to the MAIN MIX OUT and the 2- TRACK OUT. In its leftmost position the signal is cut off completely, and in the rightmost position you get an additional 10dB of gain.
