Here you’ll find knobs that control the levels of aux sends A and B. AUX A is either
What does all this mean? In POST mode the aux send is affected by the fader, EQ and HPF settings. In PRE mode the aux send is affected only by the EQ and HPF settings. POST mode is generally used for sending the signal to an external effects device (so that the fader controls the signal level), and PRE mode is usually used for cue sends (for example, sending a signal to headphones while recording, for which you may not want the fader to alter the channel’s level).

EQ
The MultiMix gives you three bands of EQ per channel. Using these knobs, you can tailor the channel’s signal by boosting some frequencies and cutting others. The LO and HI controls are shelving controls with fixed frequencies of 80 Hz and 12 kHz respectively. The MID control has a peaking response fixed at 2.5 kHz.
“Shelving” means that the mixer boosts or cuts all frequencies past the specified frequency. “Peaking” means that frequencies above and below the specified frequency fall off, forming a peak in a graphical representation.
