EQ HIGH

The EQ HIGH is a shelving type EQ which pro- vides up to 18 dB of boost or cut above 12 kHz. The center detent position of the control is the flat position. You can emphasize a cymbal or sharpen a vocal, keyboard or guitar by boost- ing the EQ HIGH. You can soften the high fre- quency sound by cutting the EQ HIGH.

EQ MID

The EQ MID is a peaking type EQ which pro- vides up to 18 dB of boost and cut at the center frequency. You can sweep the center frequency between 100 Hz and 8 kHz. The center detent position of the control is the flat position. For most of sound sources, the mid frequency range absolutely effects the sound. Therefore, you can dramatically tailor the sound using the EQ MID.

Using an external effect processor

• Using AUX 1, 2 and 3

You can use AUX busses for sending channel signals to an external effects processor or stage monitor, etc.

The [AUX] send control on each mixer chan- nel adjusts the amount of the channel signal sent to the AUX buss. The signal after the [AUX SEND] control in the master section which adjusts the total AUX buss level is output from the [AUX SEND] jack.

AUX SEND 3

There are two send signal types - pre-fader and post-fader. You can select pre- or post- fader for the AUX 1 buss. The AUX 2 buss is fixed to pre-fader, while the AUX 3 buss is fixed to post-fader.

In general, you send a post-fader signal to an effects processor, while you send a pre-fader signal for stage monitoring.

Pre-fader

A channel signal before the channel fader is sent to the buss. You can make a mix which is completely independent from the main mix. Pre-fader AUX sends are generally used for the monitor mix, because the channel fad- ers don't affect the AUX send signals.

Any adjustments made to the front-of-the- house mix don't affect the balance heard by the performers onstage.

Post-fader

A channel signal after the channel fader is sent to the buss. Post-fader Aux sends are generally used for connecting to external ef- fects processors. The send signal is raised or lowered according to the channel fader.
