The MAIN INPUT LEVEL control sets the main input gain, before the signal reaches the input bus. In SPLIT mode, the MAIN INPUT LEVEL control determines the common output level for all mono outputs.

The 4-digit INPUT LEVEL meter informs you about the input level of the main input within a range from -24 to +6 dB.

By depressing the MAIN LINK switch you can route the MAIN INPUT signal to the MAIN OUT. This way it is possible to route a maximum of eight input channels to the main mix.

The MAIN OUTPUT LEVEL control adjusts the output level applied to the main outputs. The levels present at the six mono outputs are not affected. Summing the signal levels of several mono channels can overload the main output stage. The MAIN OUTPUT LEVEL control is therefore used to adjust the overall output level.

The 4-digit OUTPUT LEVEL meter informs you about the output level of the main input within a range from -24 to +6 dB.

This SPLIT/MIX switch sets the respective channel to SPLITTER or MIXER mode.

The LEVEL control determines the signal level of the individual channels. In SPLIT mode, the LEVEL control sets the output level of the mono channels. In MIX mode, however, it controls the amount of the mono channel's input signal feeding into the main output section; at the same time, the level of the mono channel can be determined, which—owing to the maximum gain of +15 dB—allows for converting, e.g., home recording levels (-10 dBV) into studio levels (+4 dBu).

The 8-digit OUTPUT LEVEL meter informs you about the output level of each channel within a range from -24 to +18 dB.
