2 A Tour of the MultiMix and below the specified frequency fall off, forming a peak in a graphical representation. Master Section The Master Section is the heart of the mixer, where the channel inputs and aux returns all are mixed together and routed in various ways. Main Mix The signals from all channels and aux sends are sent to the main mix. The MAIN MIX level control is the one you'll use to control the overall level of those combined signals. This knob affects the levels of the signals sent to the MAIN MIX OUT and the 2TRACK OUT. In its leftmost position the signal is cut off completely, and in the rightmost position you get an additional 10dB of gain. 2TK To Mix When you press this switch, the signal coming in through the 2TRACK IN gets routed to the MAIN MIX, joining whichever other signals are already part of the main mix. Used this way, the 2-TRACK IN effectively becomes another stereo channel (but without all the extras like pan, EQ, etc.). HDPH / CTRL RM The HDPH / CTRL RM knob controls the level of the signal being sent to the CTRL RM OUT and the PHONES output. The level of this signal is represented by the LED meters. The "CTRL RM" in the name of this knob refers to the fact that it controls the signal that typically is sent to the control room monitors of a studio, where someone-usually an engineer-is working the mixer. However, don't be intimidated if you're using this mixer in your bedroom, which probably isn't equipped with a control room. In this scenario, you can use headphones or connect the CTRL RM OUT to your speakers. 2TK TO CTRL ROOM Switch When you engage this switch, the signal coming in from the 2TRACK jacks is routed to the headphones and to the control room output. This level is controlled by the HDPH / CTRL ROOM level control and cancels out any signal from the main mix. AUX RETURN LEVEL This is the level control for the signal returning to the mixer via the AUX RETURN. 20
