14 Welcome to the MD4S C CUE PAN/CUE LEVEL controls These two controls adjust the pan and signal level of the signal that is sent to the CUE bus. The signal that is sent to the CUE bus will depend on the setting of the FLIP switch 2. D EQ controls These controls are used to adjust the high, middle, and low frequency bands. Each can boost (amplify) or cut (attenuate) the frequency bands shown below over a range of ±15 dB. Each knob is detented at the 12 o'clock position, which produces a flat response (no boost or cut). Response [dB] +15 +10 +5 0 -5 -10 -15 20 100 1k Frequency [Hz] 10k 20k HIGH (high range): 10 kHz (shelving) MID (mid range): 2.5 kHz (peaking) LOW (low range): 100 Hz (shelving) E AUX control This control sends the signal from the input channel to the AUX SEND jacks. Rotating the knob toward the "1" position will sent the signal from the input channel to the AUX SEND 1 jack, and rotating the knob toward the "2" position will send the signal to the AUX SEND 2 jack. The knob is detented at the 12 o'clock position, and at this position no signal will be sent to either AUX SEND jack 1 or 2. The AUX controls are normally used to adjust the signal level that is sent to external effect devices. Note: The AUX control is "post-fader"; i.e., it adjusts the level of the signal that has passed through the fader 7. This means that if the fader has been lowered, the AUX control will have no effect. F PAN control This control adjusts the pan (left/right position) of the input channel signal that is sent to the ST bus. If you are recording via the ST bus, rotating this control to the L position will assign the input signal to odd-numbered tracks (tracks 1 and 3), and rotating it to the R position will assign the input signal to even-numbered tracks (tracks 2 and 4). During mixdown, use this control to adjust the stereo position of the playback for each track. G Fader During recording (when the FLIP switch is at MIC/LINE), use the fader to adjust the input level of the signal being recorded on the track. During mixdown (when the FLIP switch is at PB), use the fader to adjust playback level of each track. The fader will be at unity gain when located between 7 and 8. Unity gain: This refers to a condition where the output signal and input signal levels are the same, which will produce the least distortion and the optimal S/N ratio. -Owner's Manual

C
CUE PAN/CUE LEVEL controls
These two controls adjust the pan and signal level of the signal that is sent to the CUE bus. The
signal that is sent to the CUE bus will depend on the setting of the FLIP switch
2
.
D
EQ controls
These controls are used to adjust the high, middle, and low frequency bands. Each can boost
(amplify) or cut (attenuate) the frequency bands shown below over a range of
±
15 dB. Each
knob is detented at the 12 o’clock position, which produces a flat response (no boost or cut).
HIGH (high range):
10 kHz (shelving)
MID (mid range):
2.5 kHz (peaking)
LOW (low range):
100 Hz (shelving)
E
AUX control
This control sends the signal from the input channel to the AUX SEND jacks. Rotating the
knob toward the “1” position will sent the signal from the input channel to the AUX SEND 1
jack, and rotating the knob toward the “2” position will send the signal to the AUX SEND 2
jack. The knob is detented at the 12 o’clock position, and at this position no signal will be sent
to either AUX SEND jack 1 or 2. The AUX controls are normally used to adjust the signal level
that is sent to external effect devices.
F
PAN control
This control adjusts the pan (left/right position) of the input channel signal that is sent to the
ST bus. If you are recording via the ST bus, rotating this control to the L position will assign
the input signal to odd-numbered tracks (tracks 1 and 3), and rotating it to the R position will
assign the input signal to even-numbered tracks (tracks 2 and 4). During mixdown, use this
control to adjust the stereo position of the playback for each track.
G
Fader
During recording (when the FLIP switch is at MIC/LINE), use the fader to adjust the input
level of the signal being recorded on the track. During mixdown (when the FLIP switch is at
PB), use the fader to adjust playback level of each track. The fader will be at unity gain when
located between 7 and 8.
Unity gain
:
This refers to a condition where the output signal and input signal levels are the
same, which will produce the least distortion and the optimal S/N ratio.
Note:
The AUX control is “post-fader”; i.e., it adjusts the level of the signal that has passed
through the fader
7
. This means that if the fader has been lowered, the AUX control will
have no effect.
