5AUX1 and AUX2 Controls
Sends the channel signal to the AUX 1 or AUX 2 bus. The
AUX buses are normally used to feed external signal
processing gear or a monitor system. The knob should
generally be set close to the position.
If you are using stereo channels, the signals from the L
(odd) and R (even) channels are mixed and sent to the
AUX1 and AUX2 buses.
nAllows you to output the signal to the buses regardless
of the setting of the ST switch (8).
6PRE Switch
Selects whether the pre-fader or the post-fader signal is
fed to the AUX1 bus. If you set the switch on ( ), the
mixer sends the pre-fader signal (the signal prior to
passage through channel fader !) to the AUX1 bus, so
that AUX1 output is not affected by the fader. If you set
the switch off ( ) the mixer sends the post-fader signal
to the AUX1 bus.
Note that this switch applies to AUX1 only. The signal to
the AUX2 bus always passes through the channel fader
first.
7PAN Control (1 to 4)PAN/BAL Control (5/6 and 7/8)BAL Control (9/10 and 11/12)
The PAN control determines the positioning of the
channel’s signal on the Group 1 and 2 buses or on the
Stereo L and R buses.
The BAL control knob sets the balance between left and
right channels. Signals into to the L input (odd channel)
feed to the Group 1 bus or to the Stereo L bus; signals
into the R input (even channel) feed to the Group 2 bus
or the Stereo R bus.
nOn channels where this knob provides both PAN and
BAL controls (5/6 and 7/8), the knob operates as a PAN
control if you are inputting through the MIC jack or into
the L (MONO) input only, and operates as a BAL control
if you are inputting into both L and R inputs.
8ST Switch
This switch sends the signal from the corresponding
channel to the mixer’s stereo L-R bus. When this switch is
on the signal is sent both to the stereo L-R bus and the
computer via the USB interface. The switch glows orange
when it is turned on.
9PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) Switch
This switch lets you monitor the channel’s pre-fader
signal. To set the switch on, press it in ( ) so that it
lights up. When the switch is on, the mixer outputs the
channel’s pre-fader signal to the PHONES and C-R OUT
jacks, for monitoring.
)GROUP Switch
Use this switch to assign the channel’s signal to the
Group output. Press the switch in ( ) to output the
signal to the Group 1 and 2 buses.
nAllows you to output the signal to the buses regardless
of the setting of the ST switch 8.
!Channel Fader
Adjust the level of the signal output from the
corresponding input channel. The channel faders are
mainly used for setting up the desired level balance
between channels. The channel faders also adjust the
level of the signals sent to the computer via the USB
interface.
nTo reduce noise, set the fader sliders for unused
channels all the way down.
