as mute switches to turn the channel on or off. In recording applications, you can use 3/4 switches with left and right panning to assign a channel to the either the 3 or 4 bus outputs for sending to an input of a recorder.You can also mix the 3/4 bus with the LEFT and RIGHT mix bus by using the 3/4 to MIX switch, located in the master section above the 3 /4/ OUTPUTS faders, allowing you to subgroup channels. In this mode, you can assign channels to the 3/4 bus and use the 3/4 OUTPUT faders to sub-mix those channels. More information on the 3/4 to MIX switch can be found later in this manual.

This section identifies the eight built-in DSP effects presets. Following is the effects pre-set list:1-Large Hall, 2-Medium Hall, 3-Large Room, 4-Vocal Room 1, 5-Vocal Room 2, 6-Chorus + Reverb, 7-Chorus + Delay, 8-Stairwell

Auxiliary Returns

The MDR10 has two stereo auxiliary returns, which can be accessed via the two pairs of 1/4-inch phone jacks located on the top panel.
