certain that one or more connected mics require 48 volts phantom power, leave this switch off (its out position).
10:Meter switch - When out, the
11:Tape switch - Press this in to route signal connected to the rear panel RCA jack tape inputs to channels 11 and 12 (the left side is routed to channel 11 and the right side is routed to channel 12). When this switch is pressed in, any mic or line input signal connected to channels 11 and 12 is automatically muted.
12:Main Level - This knob determines the final signal level of the rear panel Main output— you can think of it as being the “master fader.” The 2 o’clock “0”
position of the knob indicates unity gain (no level attenuation or boost). Moving the knob counterclockwise from the “0” position (towards “∞ ”) causes the signal to be attenuated (at the very bottom, it is attenuated infinitely— in other words, there is no sound). Moving it clockwise from the “0” position (towards “+10”) causes the signal to be boosted by up to 10 dB. For more information, see the “Setting The Correct Gain Structure” section on page 14 in this manual.
13:Control Room Level - This knob determines the signal level of the rear panel Control Room output, allowing independent monitoring of the Main output signal. The 2 o’clock “0” position of the knob indicates unity gain (no level
attenuation or boost). Moving the knob counterclockwise from the “0” position (towards “∞ ”) causes the signal to be attenuated (at the very bottom, it is attenuated infinitely— in other words, there is no sound). Moving it clockwise from the “0” position (towards “+10”) causes the signal to be boosted by up to 10 dB.
14:Bus L/R switches - These switches allow you to route the output from the four buses to the Main left/right output jacks and Control Room left/right output jacks on the rear panel (see #10 and #11 on page 10). When this switch is up, the signal from that bus is not routed to the main outputs and instead terminates at its Bus out jack (see #12 on page 10). When pressed in, the signal from that bus is routed to the Main and Control Room outputs (buses 1 and 3 are routed to the left Main and Control Room output jacks and buses 2 and 4 are routed to the right Main and Control Room output jacks) as well as to its Bus out jack.
For more information, see the “Busing, Submixing and Channel Muting” section on page 17 in this manual.
15:Bus Faders (white with blue line) - These linear sliders determine the relative level of the four bus outputs. The “0” position of each fader indicates
unity gain (no level boost or attenuation). Moving the fader below this position (towards the “∞ ” position) causes the signal to be attenuated (at the very bottom, it is attenuated infinitely— in other words, there is no sound). Moving it above this position (towards the “+10 dB” position) causes the signal to be boosted by up to 10 dB. For best
