	an input signal to an external signal processor.
	The RQ 4300’s on-board compressors can
	be patched to any channel with an INSERT.
(2)	LINE
	This jack is a 1/4" balanced (TRS) high
	impedance input for high level signals. The tip
	is the positive input, which should also be
	used for unbalanced inputs. This input is
	connected through a 20 dB pad to the MIC
	input (3). The two inputs cannot be used
	simultaneously.

This jack is a balanced XLR (3-pin) low-

impedance connection intended for

microphones. Other low-impedance signals

such as instruments sent to the console via

direct boxes will also utilize these inputs.

CHANNEL STRIP CONTROLS

(4)GAIN

This control varies the input gain of the channel to provide a wider dynamic range. The adjustment range is +10 dB to +58 dB for the XLR input and –10 dB to +38 dB for the line input. Proper adjustment of input gain maximizes signal-to-noise ratio. Optimum gain setting can be achieved by depressing the PFL switch (15) and adjusting the GAIN control until the signal occasionally illuminates the 0 dB LED in the AFL/PFL display (45).

(5)LOW CUT

This control adjusts the setting of the low-cut filter. Variable from no cut to cut below 300 Hz, this feature reduces/eliminates extremely low frequencies that cause “low-end rumble,” and is a very effective tone shaping tool. It can also be used to reduce the “boominess” sometimes encountered with male voices.

(6)HI

This active tone control is a shelving-type that varies high-frequency response by +/-15 dB in the range above 12 kHz.

(7)MID

This active tone control is a bandpass (peak/notch) type that varies mid-frequency response by +/-15 dB in a range from 200 Hz to 6 kHz.
