6MON Send (MON Send 2 on the PV™20 only)

	This control adjusts the level of the channel signal sent to the monitor	12
	output. The signal is taken before the channel Fader (12) but after the	20
	channel EQ.
7	EFX Send
	This control adjusts the level of the channel signal added to the effects
	mix. The effects send signal is taken after the channel Fader (12) so that adjustments made to the fader
	will also affect the send level.
8	Pan
	This knob controls the placement of the signal in the stereo field. When rotated completely counter-
	clockwise‚ the signal is present only on the left channel; when rotated completely clockwise‚ only in the
	right channel. This control functions as a balance control to adjust the relative level of the left and right
	signals on stereo channels 5/6 and 7/8 on the PV™10 (11/12 and 13/14 on the PV™14, 17/18 and 19/20
	on the PV™20).
9	Mute
	The mute button is a quick way to remove the channel signal from the left/right main mix, as well as
	effects and monitor sends, without disturbing the control settings.

10Clip/Mute LED

This light normally indicates that the channel signal level is nearing the overload point, but it also lights when mute is engaged. The clip indicator circuit monitors the signal at many points in the channel to ensure that it catches all instances of clipping. It illuminates at +19 dBu and warns that the gain or EQ boost should be reduced. When it lights, roughly 3 dB of headroom remains.
