The Input Channel section is much more flexible than a conventional in- line analogue channel strip in that it allows processing elements to be configured in almost any order. The eight boxes towards the bottom of the panel enable up to eight functions to be placed in each channel path with individual IN switches. The order of the processes can be totally different on every channel, as desired.

The 5 Band Equaliser and High & Low Filters sections are independent and can be assigned separately within the channel signal path. To view parameters and curves whenever EQ and Filters are in use, access the EQ page available on the channel screens.

Various EQ options are available which are selected using the {ÊINÊ} and {Ê+Ê} / {Ê-Ê} buttons situated in the upper middle section of the panel.
