INPUT/STEREO

16. TONE CONTROL

The mixer’s tone control section allows very differentiated and effective sha- ping of the incoming audio signal within miscellaneous frequency bands. Tur- ning one of the tone controls to the right enhances/amplifies the corresponding frequency range while turning it to the left lowers/attenuates the signal of the specific frequency band. Before alte- ring the sound, all tone controls should be set to their neutral position; i.e. their marker points straight up (detent posi- tion). Please, keep in mind that the stereo channel EQ’s are so called Kill-

EQ’s. Up to turning them to their -6dB marking the tone controls behave analogue to their counterparts in the mono-channels. When turning the controls further, the “Kill”-function becomes active and nearly totally attenuates the corresponding frequency band. The “Kill”-function is meant to be used as special effect providing you with the opportunity to produce mixes that are as creative and entertaining as possible. In this way and when using the MP7 for Karaoke, the MID-control lets you effectively mute the lead vocals of the original recording.

17. BAL

This control lets you determine the proportion between a stereo-channels left and right audio levels. During the playback of pre-recorded music leaving the BAL-control as close as possible to its center position is strongly recommended. Extreme settings for this control should be left for effect purposes only.

TRANSITION SECTION

The TRANSITION FADER in the master section allows conveniently cross-fading between two channels. Assigning each stereo channel to one of the two fader-sides “X” or “Y” is possible via corresponding switches.

18. ASSIGN X/Y

This switch allows assigning the corresponding channel’s audio signal to either side “X” or “Y” of the TRANSITION FADER. The two LED’s next to the switch indicate the ASSIGN- status (blue = X, green = Y, off = TRANSITION inactive).

19. TRANSITION

This switch allows assigning the corresponding channel to the TRANSITION FADER.

CAUTION: Whenever you want to listen to a channel’s audio signal via the master while the corresponding TRANSITION-switch is set to “on”, you have to raise the channel fader and slide the TRANSITION FADER to the side, which you have previously selected using the ASSIGN X/Y (18) switch.

20. PFL

Engaging this button assigns a channel’s audio signal to the PFL bus. For monitoring the PFL bus signal via headphones slide the PHONES MIX fader in the direction “PFL”. Simultaneously assigning more than one channel to the PFL bus is possible, while the individual channel’s volume fader setting is not recognized (PRE FADER LISTEN). This allows you setting a signal’s correct level or making special EQ-adjustments without the need of including it in the main mix. Once a PFL button is pressed, the master display automatically enters PFL/PGM mode (yellow LED below the display lights). The right LED-chain indicates the level of the master audio signal (PGM), while the left LED-chain indicates the PFL bus signal level.
