9EQ knobs (channels 1–6)

These channels each have a 3-band EQ.

The EQ HI knob adjusts the high frequency range with a roll-off frequency of 12 kHz and a boost/cut range of ±15 dB.

The EQ MID knob adjusts the middle frequency range with a central frequency of 2.5 kHz and a boost/cut range of ±15 dB.

The connected source signal is sent to channels 15-16.

On M-164FX and M-164UF mixers, when an input is connected to this jack, the input is given priority and the internal effects return signal is not sent to channels 15-16 even if the INT. EFFECT RTN switch described below is pushed in to set channels 15-16 as the internal effects return channels.

hEQ HI and EQ LOW knobs

Use this 2-band EQ on the stereo bus to adjust the sound character of the mixed stereo signal output.

The EQ HI knob adjusts the high frequency range, with a roll-off frequency of 12 kHz and a boost/cut range of ±15 dB.

The EQ LOW knob adjusts the low frequency range with a roll-off frequency of 100 Hz and a boost/cut range of ±15 dB.
