1MIC IN: An XLR jack for balanced Low-Z mic inputs. When using a condenser mic, the Phantom Power switch (#63, rear panel - page 7) must be activated.

2LINE: A Tip/Ring/Sleeve 1/4” jack for balanced Hi-Z mics, instruments, drum machines, and similar high impedance line level signals.

3INSERT: A Tip/Ring/Sleeve 1/4” jack for adding an external signal processor to the channel. The wiring diagram for this jack is shown on page 13. Applications informa- tion is shown on pages 8 – 13.

4GAIN: Adjusts the input signal level. Proper setting causes the Peak LED (#13) to flash at strong input signals.

5HIGH: Controls the high frequency level for the channel. Allows ±15dB @ 12kHz. Shelving type.

6MID: Controls the middle frequency level for the channel. Allows ±15dB @ 800Hz. Bandpass type.

7LOW: This controls the low frequency level for the channel. Allows ±15dB @ 70Hz. Shelving type.

•Additional EQ information is on page 14.

8LOW CUT: Reduces the low frequency output of the channel at a rate of 18dB per octave at 75Hz. Active in the up position.

9AUX: Controls the level of the signal sent from the channel to the Aux Out master con- trol (#49). Use as a monitor send (Pre/Post switch, #10, in the “Pre” position) or as an effects loop send (Pre/Post switch, #10, in the “Post” position).

10PRE/POST: The signal sent by the Aux control (#9) can be set to either pre-fader (switch in the “Pre” position) or post-fader (switch in the “Post” position).

11EFF: Controls the level of the signal sent from the channel to the Eff Out master control (#50). Use as an effects loop send.

12PAN: Divides the signal proportionally between the left and right channels of the Main L/R fader (#60) or the Group 1/2 faders (#59), depending on the setting of the Grp / L/R switch (#16).

13PEAK LED: Illuminates when the input signal level is within 6dB of clipping. Proper set- ting of the Gain control (#4) will cause this LED to flash only on strong input signals.

14-20dB LED: Illuminates when the input signal level is above -20dBv. This serves as a “signal present” LED.

15PFL: This switch, when depressed, sends the channel’s signal to the Monitor master control (#51). The Output LED Meters (#57) are also switched to monitor this signal, which is pre-fader. The PFL LED (#55) illuminates to indicate that the Headphones (#39), Monitor (#42) and LED Meters (#57) are now responding to the PFL selection.

16GRP / L/R: This switch determines whether the signal is sent to the Group 1/2 master faders (#59) or the Main L/R master fader (#60).

17FADER: Controls the level of the signal sent to either the Group 1/2 faders (#59) or the Main L/R fader (#60), depending on the setting of the Grp / L/R switch (#16).
