CMic 1 input gain control — Rotating the encoder screw clockwise increases the gain setting. Rotating the encoder screw counterclockwise decreases the gain. This adjustment controls the single gain point in the mix matrix that mixes mono mic 1 levels to the stereo output bus.

DMic 2 input gain control — Rotating the encoder screw clockwise increases the gain setting. Rotating the encoder screw counterclockwise decreases the gain setting. This adjustment controls the single gain point in the mix matrix that mixes mono mic 2 levels to the stereo output bus.

ELine level input 3 gain control — Rotating the encoder screw clockwise increases the gain setting. Rotating the encoder screw counterclockwise decreases the gain setting. This adjustment controls the single gain point in the mix matrix that mixes line level input 3 to the stereo output bus.

FLED ladder indicator bar — As the mix-point gain or output volume increases or decreases, the LED indicator bar lights from the bottom to the top to indicate the current mix-point or volume level. As the volume is increased or decreased within a volume range, the top lit LED flashes once. If the knob is turned past maximum volume, all 8 LEDs flash for as long as the knob continues to be turned. After 3 seconds of inactivity, the knob controls the variable volume output.

GVolume level adjust knob — Rotating the adjustment knob clockwise increases the output volume. Rotating the knob counterclockwise decreases the volume.
