4Bass control knob The bass shelving EQ gain is continuously variable from -15dB to +15dB, with the shelf frequency set to 75Hz.

5EQ switch and red LED The EQ switch enables the EQ. With EQ disabled, adjustment of the EQ controls has no effect. This can be used to compare the sound with and without EQ. The eq LED illuminates to show that EQ is enabled.

Monitors

The monitor sends of the multifunction input channels have similar functionality to those of the mono input channels. For more information, see “Monitors” on page 42.

Note: Stereo left and right channel signals are summed into a mono signal to be routed to the monitor buses by the channel monitor sends.
