PROGRAM
channels. Pointing these controls
straight up at their center detents takes the tone controls out of the signa l path. is is not designed to be the only equali zer in the
system, this is intended to provide EQ between var ying program materials. We recommend an externa l graphic equalizer for the
best system sound, connected between the
HOUSE OUTPUTS
and the amplifier.

PROGRAM INPUT
, as you would expect! ese controls are pre-Crossfader, so
both Program Level controls also depend on the Crossf ader setting (see 6).

turn down the associated LEVE L control if the +12 indicator lights up.

PROGRAM B
is heard. When it's in the middle, both
PROGRAM A

reduced travel noise, but to insure trouble-free operation, see Fader Cleaning on pag e Manual-4.
