Channel Control Section

1 GAIN Control

Adjusts the input signal level. To get the best balance

between the S/N ratio and the dynamic range, adjust the

level so that the PEAK indicator (2) comes on only at

about maximum input level.

The –60 to –16 scale indicates the MIC input adjustment

level. The –34 to +10 scale indicates the LINE input

adjustment level.

2 PEAK Indicator

Detects the peak level of the post-EQ signal, and lights

up red when the level reaches 3 dB below the clipping

level. For XLR-equipped stereo input channels (3/4 and

5/6), detects both post-EQ and post-mic-amp peak lev-

els, and lights red if either of these levels reaches 3 dB

below the clipping level.

3 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. (But note that regardless of the switch set-

ting, the mixer does not apply this HPF to the line inputs

of stereo input channels.)

4 Equalizer (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. Turning the

knob to the right boosts the corresponding frequency

band, while turning to the left attenuates the band. The

following table shows the EQ type, base frequency, and

maximum cut/boost for each of the three bands.

5 EFFECT Controls

Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the channel to

the EFFECT bus. Note that the signal level to the bus is

also affected by the Channel LEVEL Control. If you are

using stereo channels (CHs 3/4, 5/6, 7/8), the signals

from the L (odd) and R (even) channels are mixed and

then sent to the EFFECT bus.

6 PAN Control (CHs 1 and 2)

PAN/BAL Control (CHs 3/4 and 5/6)

BAL Control (CH 7/8)

The PAN control determines the positioning of the chan-

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

The BAL control knob 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.

On channels where this knob provides both PAN

and BAL controls: 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.

7 Channel LEVEL Control

Adjusts the output level of the signal being input to the

channel. Use these LEVEL Controls to adjust the vol-

ume balance among the various channels.

To reduce noise, set the LEVEL Control knobs for

unused channels all the way to the left (to the min-

imum setting).
