The MDR624’s PAN control is used to place or position the mono signal into the stereo main Left and Right MIX bus. You can create a stereo image by panning some input signals to the left and others to the right. The MDR624’s PAN control is a Power-Pan circuit, which includes a 3dB dip in the center position. This is desirable since there’s a 3dB increase in gain when the mono input signal is heard in both the Left and Right MIX bus.

PEAK LED

The MDR624’s MIC/LINE pre-amp also includes a CLIP LED which, when illuminated, indicates that the signal is peaking or overloading. To reduce distortion, lower the GAIN control to keep this LED from staying on.

FADER

The MDR624’s rotary input FADER controls the overall channel level. The input FADER features an audio taper and no detents for smooth fades.
