LEVEL CONTROL

This control sets the input level for the microphone or line-level device. At the fully anti-clockwise position there will be no sound. As the control is moved in a clockwise direction the level will be gradually increased until, at the fully clockwise position, the level will be at its maximum.

CARE!: This signal is routed to the master outputs POST [MASTER] level control -e.g. the output level of the microphone or line-level device will be un-affected by the [MASTER] level control. It is similarly routed to the booth outputs (unless the mic defeat feature described above is engaged).

EQ -LOW CONTROL

This control adjusts the bass equalisation of the microphone/line-level sound. At the 12 o’clock, centre position the low EQ will be flat (no cut or boost). As the control is moved anti-clockwise the low frequencies will be progressively cut until, at the fully anti-clockwise position the maximum low frequency cut will be applied (-15dB). As the control is moved clockwise from the centre position the low frequencies will be progressively boosted until, at the fully clockwise position the maximum low frequency boost will be applied (+15dB@100Hz).

EQ -HIGH CONTROL

This control adjusts the treble equalisation of the microphone or line-level sound. At the 12 o’clock, centre position the high EQ will be flat (no cut or boost). As the control is moved anti-clockwise the high frequencies will be progressively cut until, at the fully anti- clockwise position the maximum high frequency cut will be applied (-15dB). As the control is moved clockwise from the centre position the high frequencies will be progressively boosted until, at the fully clockwise position the maximum high frequency boost will be applied (+15dB@10kHz).

MIC INSERT SOCKET (rearcon)

This 1/4” jack on the rearcon can be used to route the post-EQ signal through an external effects or dynamic processor. See the mic/ line insert lead on page 48 for connection details.
