A GAIN control

This rotary control adjusts the sensitivity of the MIC/LINE input so that both microphone and line-level signals can be handled with ease.

B FLIP switch

This switch is used to select the signal sources for the input channel and CUE con- trols. With the [FLIP] switch in the up position, the MIC/LINE input signal is fed to the input channel and the track signal is fed to the CUE controls. With the [FLIP] switch in the down position, however, this is reversed: the MIC/LINE input signal is fed to the CUE controls and the track signal is fed to the input channel.

C CUE PAN & LEVEL controls

These two controls are used to adjust the level and pan of the CUE signal. The CUE signal source depends on the [FLIP] switch. With the [FLIP] switch set to the up position, the signal source is the track (i.e., the signal being recorded or played back). With the [FLIP] switch set to the down position, the CUE signal source is the MIC/LINE inputs. This setting is typically used during mixdown, when the track signal is fed through the input channel. This allows you to connect extra sound sources during mixdown and set their level and pan position using the CUE controls.

D EQ controls

These rotary controls are used to boost and cut the high, middle, and low fre- quency bands independently.The High and Low EQs are fixed frequency shelving types. The Mid EQ is a sweepable peaking type. A flat setting (i.e., no boost or cut) can be set quickly using the controls’ center detents.

Frequency [Hz]

HIGH ±15 dB at 12 kHz—shelving type

MID ±15 dB at 250 Hz–5 kHz—sweepable peaking type

LOW ±15 dB at 80 Hz—shelving type

E AUX controls

These rotary controls are used to send the input channel signal to the AUX SEND outputs for processing by external effects processors.
