Controls & Connections
(6) EQUALIZER CONTROLS
All channels are fitted with a
or high frequency feedback, while attenuating the MID or LOW can also eliminate feedback or clear up a muddy sounding mix. Cutting the HIGH and LOW, then pushing up the Channel Level Control(6) is equivalent to mid range boost!
[Note: Always check the channel’s Peak LED Indicator(5) after altering the amount of equalization].
The key to successful equalization is to avoid excess. Too much equalization on the input channels will result in a mix that is smeared together with nothing specifically defined. During rehearsals, experiment with the equalizer controls on various instruments, vocals and combinations of these mixed together to become familiar with various equalizer settings.
(7) AUX SEND CONTROL
This control adjusts the level of signal sent to the Aux Send(23) output. The channel Aux Send control is mono,
(8) PAN
The channel Pan positions the output of the channel in the left/right stereo field of the Main mix. Its
(9) CHANNEL LEVEL
This controls the volume of the channel signal sent to the Main bus.
(10) PRE-FADER TO RECORD SWITCH
Enabling this switch will route the input signal of the channel to the Record Outputs(30). The signal will be
(11) CHANNEL 3/4 & 5/6 STEREO INPUTS
These 1⁄4” and RCA unbalanced inputs are designed to accept line level signals such as those common to CD/tape players, keyboards, direct outputs and home stereo or DJ equipment.
The 1⁄4” inputs can also be used as standard mono line inputs by plugging into the L input only. This signal will be routed equally to the Pan control and the left and right outputs in the same way as the standard line input channels.
For each channel there are separate A and B stereo inputs. Using both sets of inputs simultaneously can cause some level issues, which may require the volume of the preceding equipment to be adjusted. The “A” 1/4” inputs are always enabled. To utilize the “B” RCA inputs, the B Enable Switch(12) must be depressed. This allows the user to switch on the B input source instantaneously.
(12) B ENABLE SWITCH
Depressing this switch will turn on the B Inputs of channels 3/4 and 5/6.
