FRONT PANEL FEATURES

INPUT UP/DOWN BUTTONS

Use these buttons to adjust the mix level for each input channel.

INPUT LED DISPLAY

This indicates the signal level after the mic preamp stage, just after the A/D converter, but prior to any digital signal processing. When any input UP/ DOWN button is pressed, all the meters (except EQ) switch from level metering to level setting indication. After five seconds, the meters switch back to normal peak program metering (PPM).

When the 10 and 7 LEDs are both lit, the gain is set to unity (0 dB).

EQ LO/HI UP/DOWN BUTTONS

Use these buttons to adjust the gain of the 2-band shelving EQ on the outputs. The range is ± 15 dB.

EQ LED DISPLAY

When an EQ UP/DOWN button is pressed, the EQ meter indicates the amount of boost or cut of the LO and HI frequencies in decibels (± 15 dB).

When both "0" LEDs are lit, the gain is set to unity (flat response).

Note: The EQ meters do not indicate signal level.

MASTER A/B UP/DOWN BUTTONS

These buttons adjust the output level for each output bus.

MASTER OUTPUT LED DISPLAY

This indicates the signal level after the digital signal processing and MASTER gain stage, just prior to the D/A converter. When any MASTER UP/DOWN button is pressed, all the meters (except EQ) switch from level metering to level setting indication. After five seconds, the meters switch back to normal peak program metering (PPM).
