8Equalizer (HIGH, MID, and LOW)

This three-band equalizer adjusts the channel’s high,

mid, and low frequency bands. Setting the knob to the

“ ” position produces a ﬂat frequency response for the

corresponding frequency band. Turning the knob to the

right boosts the corresponding frequency band, while

turning to the left attenuates the band.

On channels 1 to 8, the MID range is controlled by two

knobs. The upper knob sets the center frequency for

the mid range, while the lower knob sets the attenua-

tion (counterclockwise) or boost (clockwise) for the

range. (Again, setting the lower knob to “ ” produces

a ﬂat response.) On stereo channel pairs 9/10 to 15/16

the mid-range frequency is ﬁxed at 2.5kHz, so only

one MID knob is provided.

The following table shows the equalization type, the

base frequency, and the maximum cut/boost for each

of the three bands.

9AUX1/2 Knobs (PRE/POST)

Each knob adjusts the channel's signal level into the

AUX1/2 bus. The knob should generally be set close to

the “ ” position. Note that you can use the PRE

switch 0 to choose whether the pre-fader or

post-fader signal is fed into the AUX1/2 buses. On ste-

reo channels, the L (odd) and R (even) input signals

are mixed before being sent to the AUX1/2 buses.

If the PRE switch is on, the channel's fader will not

have any effect on the signal sent to the AUX1/2

buses.

0PRE Switch

Selects whether the pre-fader or the post-fader signal is

fed to the AUX1/2 buses. If the switch is on, the mixer

feeds the pre-fader signal to the buses. If off, the mixer

feeds the post-fader signal.

AEFF1/2 Knobs

Each knob adjust the level of the signal sent from the

channel to the EFFECT1/2 bus. If input is from a ste-

reo channel pair (9/10 to 15/16), the signals from the L

and R channels are mixed before moving into the

buses. The EFFECT1/2 bus signal is fed both to the

internal digital effector and to the SEND EFF1/2 jack

The level into the EFFECT1/2 buses is affected by

the setting of the channel’s fader G.

BPAN Control (Channels 1 to 8); BAL Con-

trol (Channels 9/10 to 15/16)

The PAN control determines the positioning of the

channel’s signal on the Stereo L and R buses.

The BAL control sets the balance between left and

right channels. Signals into the L input (odd channel)

feed to the Stereo L bus; signals into the R input (even

channel) feed to the Stereo R bus.

If you are inputting to a stereo channel through the L

(MONO) jack only, the BAL knob operates as a PAN

knob.

CON Switch

Switches the channel on or off. (The indicator lights up

if the channel is on.) Be sure to turn on all the channels

that you wish to use. If you switch the channel off, you

cut off all of its signal feed into the Stereo, AUX, and

EFFECT buses.

To reduce noise, turn off all unused channels.

DPEAK Indicator

Detects the peak level of the post-equalizer signal, and

lights up red when the level reaches 3 dB below the

clipping level.

ESIGNAL Indicator

Lights up when a signal is being input into the channel.

FPFL (Pre-Fader Listen) Switch

Set this switch on to feed the channel’s pre-fader signal

into the PFL bus, so that it can be monitored at the

PHONES jack. To set the switch on, press it in so that

it lights up.

• PFL switching and output are not affected by the

ON switch. You can monitor the channel’s

pre-fader signal through the PHONES jack even

when the ON switch is set off.

• The PFL (F, M, i) and AFL j switches select

the mix to be monitored at the PHONES jack. If

the channel’s PFL or AFL switch is ON, the chan-

nel’s output is mixed into the monitor signal to the

PHONES jack. If both switches are OFF, the chan-

nel output is not fed to the PHONES jack.

GChannel Fader

Adjusts the signal’s output level. Use these faders to

adjust the volume balance among the various channels.

To reduce noise, set the fader sliders for unused chan-

nels all the way down.
