Master Section. Each channel can be assigned to the 1- 2, 3-4, and L-R Faders in stereo pairs. This feature allows the operator to group certain channels (such as the chan- nels used to mic an entire drum kit) and assign them to one pair of the master faders in the 1-2, 3-4 sub group. This sub-mixing feature decreases the number of channel faders that need to be adjusted.

16. AUDIO TAPER FADERS

Slide all faders down when connecting your inputs. Increase each channels fader to achieve the overall mix. Calibrated 60mm faders with audio taper are featured for smooth fade-outs.

18. MASTER LEFT & RIGHT FADERS

These faders send the main stereo mix from all channels and GROUPS assigned to the L-R Faders. This mix is then rout- ed to the main balanced and unbalanced output connectors (see 37). The left and right signals will be identical if all pan controls are set to their center positions.

42. MIC PHANTOM

POWER SWITCH / RED

LED

This switch provides phantom power for condenser mics in groups of 8 channels. This allows other channel groups

to remain non-powered to use the LINE inputs for instru- ments and MIC inputs for mics that don’t require phantom power. The groups reduces noise and wasted power.
