INPUT/MONO
11. VOLUME
The channel fader is used to set the volume of a single channel and to establish an accurately proportioned mix of all input signals. The channel faders should be positioned within the range of -5dB to 0dB, leaving you with a sufficient degree of control to allow precise matching of relative big differences in the channel’s level settings. Afterwards the overall volume is set through the use of the master fader. Even though the channel faders offer an additional gain of +10dB, it is good advice not to exceed the +5dB position.
12. TALK
The TALK-key is specially meant for announcements or DJ-like moderation with background music programs (talk over). Engaging this key automatically attenuates the signal levels of the channels 2-7 by about 15dB. Therefore the announcer channel (channel 1) clearly stands above the rest mix, without need to alter any of the mixer’s level settings. Since the TALK function is only active as long as the TALK-key is kept pressed down, you have to engage it for the entire period of time you want to make an announcement. As long as the TALK-key is not engaged, channel 1 functions like channels 2 and 3.
