PAD Switch
When this switch is on ( ), the mixer attenuates the input
signal by 26 dB.

GAIN 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 indicator (
B
) comes on just
as the signal approaches its maximum level.
On monaural channels:
When the PAD switch (
1
) is off
( ), the GAIN control adjusts for input levels from –60 dBu
to –16 dBu. When the PAD switch is on ( ), the GAIN con-
trol adjusts for input levels from –34 dBu to +10 dBu.
On stereo channels:
The GAIN control adjusts for input levels
from –34 dBu to +10 dBu.

Switch (High-Pass Filter)
This switch toggles the HPF on or off. To turn the HPF on,
press the switch in ( ). The HPF cuts frequencies below 80
Hz.

Equalizer Controls
• On monaural channels
A three-band equalizer adjusts the channel’s high, mid, and
low frequency bands. For each band, setting the knob to the
position produces a flat frequency response. Turning the
knob to the right boosts the corresponding frequency band,
while turning to the left cuts the band. The following table
shows the EQ type, base frequency, and maximum cut/boost
for each of the three bands.
• On stereo channels
A four-band equalizer adjusts the channel’s high, hi-mid,
lo-mid, and low frequency bands. For each band, setting the
knob to the position produces a flat frequency response.
Turning the knob to the right boosts the corresponding fre-
quency band, while turning to the left cuts the band. The fol-
lowing table shows the EQ type, base frequency, and
maximum cut/boost for each of the four bands.
