Reference Front & Rear Panels A AUX, EFFECT Control Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the channel to the AUX and EFFECT buses. These knobs should generally be set close to the "▼" position. These controls send either the signal from immediately prior to the channel fader (pre-fader signal) or the signal after the channel fader (post-fader signal) to the corresponding buses. The types of signals sent by the AUX and EFFECT controls on each mixer model are as follows: • MG206C-USB AUX1: Pre-fader AUX2, 3: Pre-fader/post-fader (determined by the AUX PRE switch B) AUX4: Post-fader • MG166CX-USB AUX1: Pre-fader AUX2: Pre-fader/post-fader (determined by the AUX PRE switch B) EFFECT: Post-fader • MG166C-USB AUX1: Pre-fader AUX2: Pre-fader/post-fader (determines by the AUX PRE switch B) AUX3: Post-fader NOTE • To send the signal to the STEREO bus engage the ON switch ( ). • On stereo channels, the L (odd) and R (even) input signals are mixed and sent to the AUX and EFFECT buses. B AUX PRE Switch Selects whether the pre-fader or the post-fader signal is fed to the AUX buses. If the switch is on ( ), the mixer sends the pre-fader signal to the AUX buses, so that AUX outputs are not affected by the channel fader I. If the switch is off ( ) the mixer sends the post-fader signal to the AUX buses. C PAN Control PAN/BAL Control BAL Control The PAN control determines the stereo positioning of the channel signal on the GROUP 1/2 and GROUP 3/4 buses or on the STEREO L/R bus. The BAL control knob sets the balance between left and right channels. Signals input to the L input (odd channel) go to the GROUP 1 or 3 buses or to the STEREO L bus; signals input to the R input (even channel) go to the GROUP 2 or 4 buses or the STEREO R bus. NOTE On channels where this knob provides both PAN and BAL control, the knob operates as a PAN control when input is received via the MIC jack or L (MONO) input only, and as a BAL control when input is received via both L and R inputs. D ON Switch Turn this switch on to send the signal to the buses. The switch lights orange when on. E PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) Switch This switch lets you monitor the channel's pre-fader signal. Press the switch in ( ) so that it lights to turn it on. When the switch is on the channel pre-fader signal is output to the PHONES and MONITOR OUT jacks for monitoring. F 1-2 Switch This switch assigns the channel's signal to the GROUP 1/2 bus. NOTE To send the signal to the GROUP 1/2 bus turn the ON switch on ( ). G 3-4 Switch This switch assigns the channel's signal to the GROUP 3/4 bus. NOTE To send the signal to the GROUP 3/4 bus turn the ON switch on ( ). H ST Switch This switch assigns the channel's signal to the STEREO L/R bus. NOTE To send the signal to the STEREO bus turn the ON switch on ( ). I Channel Fader Adjusts the level of the channel signal. Use these faders to adjust the balance between the various channels. NOTE Set the fader sliders for unused channels all the way down to minimize noise. 18 MG206C-USB/MG166CX-USB/MG166C-USB Owner's Manual
