3INSERT I/O Jack (Channels 1 to 8)
Each of these jacks is positioned between the equalizer
and fader of the corresponding input channel (1 to 8).
You can use these jacks to connect channels to devices
such as graphic equalizers, compressors, and noise fil-
ters. These are TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) phone jacks that
support bidirectional operation.
Connection to an INSERT I/O jack requires a special
separately-sold insertion cable—such as the Yamaha
YIC025, YIC050, or YIC070—as shown below.
4[26 dB] Switch (Channels 1 to 8)
Pressing this button turns on the attenuator for each
channel, attenuating the input signal level by 26 dB.
If you have connected a line-level device, such as a
keyboard or audio device, set the channel’s switch to
ON ( ). If you have connected a microphone or
other mic-level device, set the switch to OFF ( ).
5GAIN Control
Adjusts the gain applied to the input signal level. To
get the best balance between the S/N ratio and the
dynamic range, adjust the gain so that the PEAK indi-
cator D comes on only at about maximum input level.
The –60 to –16 scale indicates the MIC input adjust-
ment level. The –34 to 10 scale indicates the LINE
input adjustment level.
6(High Pass Filter) Switch
Switches the high pass filter on/off. To turn the HPF
on, press this switch in. The HPF cuts frequencies
below 80 Hz. (But note that regardless of the switch
setting, the mixer does not apply this HPF to the line
inputs of stereo input channels.)
7COMP knob (Channels 1 to 8)
This knob adjusts the level of compression applied to
the channel. As the knob is turned to the right, the
mixer automatically raises the compression ratio while
adjusting the output gain accordingly. The result is a
narrower, more even dynamic range, as louder signals
are softened while the overall level is boosted. Avoid
setting the knob too high, however, as excess compres-
sion may lead to howling.
