Channel 1/4" LINE INPUTS Connect balanced and unbalanced instruments and line level sources such as drum machines, keyboards, ETC. XLR BALANCED MIC INPUTS Both the LINE and XLR MIC inputs can be used simultaneously. CHANNEL INSERT/DIRECT OUT Insert channel effects, compressor, etc. with a 1/4" TRS (Tip, Ring, Sleeve) cable. To achieve a direct out from the channel, insert a standard 1/4" cable to the first "click" (1/2 insert). MIC PHANTOM POWER Provides +48v power for condenser mics in groups of 8 channels. The GAIN controls the input level for the channel. LOW CUT SWITCH is a 75 Hz filter that helps eliminate unwanted low frequencies. 4 BAND CHANNEL EQ WITH DUAL MID SWEEPS Studio quality EQ is featured on every channel. The ±15 dB boost or cut gives an overall 30 dB range for powerful EQ control. The active circuits deliver deep bass from the 20-80 Hz LOW control. The MID controls work at 45Hz to 10kHz, depending on the MID FREQ controls. The HI control functions at 11-20k for crisp highs. MONITOR 1 THRU 6 SEND CONTROLS The channel MONITOR controls allow you to create six independent monitor mixes. The MONITOR signals (pre-EQ, pre fader) are routed to the master MON 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 controls respectively. Since the monitor sends are pre-fader, you can set your monitor mix on stage without having to set the channel fader level. EFF 1 & EFF 2 SEND CONTROLS The EFF 1 or EFF 2 control sends signal (post EQ, post fader) from the channel to the master EFFECTS 1 or EFFECTS 2 level controls. PAN control allows stereo imaging by panning Left or Right. The PAN control also works for the sub-mix groups. A center position will send a channel's signal to a pair of sub-group faders (1-2, 3-4 when assigned). GREEN SIGNAL LED is pre-fader and post EQ. CHANNEL RED PEAK LED is pre-fader and post EQ. A "solid" lit PEAK LED indicates a muted channel. CHANNEL MUTE SWITCH will interrupt the channel signal. CHANNEL PFL SWITCH allows the operator to listen to a channel (pre fader listen) in the headphone mix. CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT SWITCHES Assign the channels' signal to the Master L/R faders, or to the SUBGROUP faders 1 & 2, 3 & 4 for sub-mixing in stereo pairs. The CHANNEL FADER adjusts the output level of the channel. 6 6
