16. MIC LEVEL
This knob adjusts the gain of the mic preamp for any microphone plugged into the mic input jack [1]. It ranges from +3 dB to +50 dB, with a fixed gain of
+10 dB, giving an effective gain range of +13 dB to +60 dB. Adjust this so that the loudest speaking or shouting that you do into the microphone just barely lights the OL LED [18]. This gives you the best

17. MIC SIGNAL LED
This green LED is a signal present indicator. It lights when the microphone signal reaches
18. MIC OL LED
This LED lights when the microphone signal reaches
6 dB below clipping. It’s okay if this LED blinks occa- sionally, but if it is blinking frequently or lit continu- ously, turn down the mic level control [16] until it just blinks occasionally.
21. MID EQ
This knob gives you up to 15 dB of boost and cut at
2.5kHz. At the center position the mid EQ has no effect on the signal.
22. LOW EQ
This knob gives you up to 15 dB of boost and cut at 80 Hz and below. At the center position the low EQ has no effect on the signal.
19. 48V Phantom Power Switch
If your microphone is a condenser design, it probably requires phantom power to operate. Push in this switch to supply 48 VDC to pins 2 and 3 of the XLR microphone connector.
Dynamic microphones, like Shure’s SM57 and SM58, do not require phantom power. However, phantom power will not harm most dynamic microphones should you accidentally plug one in while the phantom power is turned on. Check your microphone’s user’s manual if you are not sure whether your microphone needs phantom power or not.
20. HIGH EQ
This knob gives your mic signal up to 15 dB of boost and cut at 12 kHz and above. At the center position the high EQ has no effect on the signal.

23. ON
Press this switch in to send the microphone signal to the main outputs, otherwise, your dulcet tones will not be heard, and people will say “huh?”
24. PAN
This knob adjusts the amount of microphone signal that is sent to the left versus the right main outputs. When the knob is turned hard left, the signal feeds only the left main out, and when the knob is turned hard right, it only feeds the right main out. When the knob is in the center, the microphone signal is sent equally to the left and right main mix. The fiendish design of the pan circuit allows “constant pan power,” where the average audio output level remains constant for all positions of the pan control.
