1: Equalizer (violet) - These knobs determine the amount of boost or attenuation in each |
of three frequency areas (up to 15 dB for each area). The mid frequency control (centered |
at 1 kHz) utilizes a resonant (“bell”) peaking curve, while the high and low frequency |
controls (centered at 10 kHz and 80 Hz, respectively) utilize shelving curves. The EQ |
setting affects both the odd- and |
remain separate. A center detent in each knob (at the “0” position) indicates no boost or |
attenuation (that is, flat response). As each knob is turned clockwise from the “0” position, |
the frequency area is boosted; as it is turned counterclockwise from the “0” position, the |
frequency area is attenuated. For more information on the application of EQ, see the |
“Using Equalization” section on page 19. |
2: Auxiliary sends (blue) - These knobs (labeled “Aux |
allow you to route signal to any of the PL 2404’s four Auxiliary outputs. These are typically |
used to route signal to outboard effects devices. When a pair of channel inputs (that is, |

signal can only be routed to Aux 1L and Aux 3L, while the |

ed (at equal level) to Aux 2R. When only the |
signal can only be routed to Aux 2R or Aux 4R. When only the |
connected, the signal can be routed to any of the four Aux sends. When an Aux send knob |
is at the “0” (2 o’clock) position, the signal is routed with unity gain (that is, no boost or |
attenuation). As each Aux send knob is turned clockwise towards the “+10” position, the |
signal is boosted (by a maximum of 10 dB); as it is turned counterclockwise towards the |
“∞” position, it is attenuated (at the very bottom, it is attenuated |
no signal is routed). All four Aux sends are |
determined by the position of the channel’s Level control, its EQ settings, the position of |
the main Level control, and (in the case of channels 1 and 3) Trim control. For more |
information, see the “Using Auxiliary Sends and Returns” section on page 20. |

3:Solo On/Off switch - When pressed in, the channel is soloed (in headphones only, and only when the Solo/Main switch in the PL 2404 main section is in the Solo position). Soloing will be in either PFL (Pre Fade Listen) or AFL (After Fade Listen) mode, depending upon the setting of the PFL/AFL switch in the PL 2404 main section. See #7 and #8 on page 7 and the “Using PFL/AFL” section on page 22 for more information.
4:Mute 3/4 switch - When up, the channel’s signal is routed to the Bus 1/2 faders and then on to the Bus 1/2 and, optionally, Main and Control Room output jacks (if, as described in #10 on page 7, the Bus “L/R” switches for those buses is pressed in). When pressed in, the channel’s signal is instead routed to the Bus 3/4 faders and then on to the Bus 3/4 and, optionally, Main and Control Room output jacks (if, as described in #10 on
page 7, the Bus “L/R” switches for those buses is pressed in). If you set the Bus 3/4 faders all the way down (to their “∞” position), this switch can be used for channel muting. See the “Busing, Submixing and Channel Muting” section on page 17 for more information.
