LED in the MONO MASTER section (45) will blink to indicate that the signal on the MONO LED display and at the headphone out is PFL. Selecting PFL allows the operator to monitor a channel even with the channel muted, and is especially useful for cueing CDs/tapes. When the PFL button is in the out position, the yellow channel LED will blink as an indication of signal presence (-20 dBu).

(16)CHANNEL FADER

This control varies the signal level sent from the channel to the L/R, SUB, and/or MONO master channels from (– ∞) to +10 dB. The 0 position is unity gain, meaning no increase or decrease in the level set by the GAIN control (4), and is the optimum setting for this control. If the level is too quiet or too loud at unity gain on the FADER, the channel GAIN (4) may need to be adjusted.

(17)PAD

This switch attenuates (reduces) the input signal by 20 dB. This allows accommodation of higher input levels without clipping and is especially useful when close-miking high sound pressure level (SPL) sources such as drums or guitar cabinets. It is also beneficial for “hot” line sources such as keyboards and some wireless microphones.
