Dynamics & EQ Once a  source  has been  brought to  the  center, the  two sets 
of knobs  at the  bottom of  the CM402-T  Knobset Panel  allow 
dedicated control of  dynamics (12 left knobs)  and EQ (12  right 
knobs). Functions  are exactly  the same as  those found  in the 
strip controls. The CM402-T  display includes simultaneous dy-
namics, EQ and filter graphics to show the processor settings. 
Upper Knobsets - Aux, Filters & InputsAt the top of the CM402-T panel are two sets of 8 knobs that can 
be switched to control Aux Sends, Filters, and Inputs. The func-
tions available are exactly the same as those found in the strips.
CM402-T 48 Routing KeysThese 48 keys allow group and mix section routing on dedicated 
keys.
Bus MastersBus Masters are  controlled from the  8 knobs and  function se-
lect switches in the middle of the  console. The knobset can be 
switched between Group, Mix  and Aux Bus Masters using  the 
function select keys at the bottom of the knobset. The page key 
allows the 8  knobs to switch  between sets of  8 controls (1-8, 
9-16 etc.) 
Each master has a  gain trim and On/Off  switch plus an insert. 
For a Mix Section this will control the gain of all the buses with-
in the  section. For  the Mix  Masters the upper  switch next  to 
each knob switches the knobs to allow On/Off and gain trim for 
individual buses within each Section. The user can lock the bus 
masters so the point of reference is always the same.
Master Fader The Master Fader in the middle of the center section controls all 
Mix Section output levels. It can also be locked out.
