Front & Rear Panels 3 Front & Rear Panels Front Panel Section Channels 1-8 (Monaural) qw e r t y ui q GAIN Control Adjusts the input level of the signal entering the mixer to an optimum level. To obtain an optimum balance between the S/N ratio and dynamic range, adjust the level so that the PEAK Indicator t occasionally lights. w GATE Switch Turns the Noise Gate ON/OFF. When the switch is ON (>), the signal entering the channel's INPUT jack will only be allowed to pass through the circuit when the designated level is exceeded. This function can be used to effectively eliminate unwanted background noise (sounds that are lower than the designated level). (Refer to page 9 for more information.) * To turn the switch ON/OFF, use an insulator that is smaller than the size of the switch. e Equalizer Provides +/-15dB of control over high and low frequency ranges at the center frequencies listed below. HIGH : 10kHz (shelving) LOW : 100Hz (shelving) Frequency response is flat when the knob is at its center position. Response [dB] +20 +15 +10 +5 0 -5 -10 -15 -20 20 100 1k Frequency [Hz] 10k 20k r ZONE Select Switch Sends each channel's signal to the ZONE 1 bus and/or ZONE 2 bus. When the switch is ON (>), the signal is sent to the relative bus. t PEAK Indicator The indicator detects peaks in the signal after it has passed the EQ. The indicator will light red when the level reaches +17dB to warn that clipping is imminent. y SIGNAL Indicator The indicator lights when the signal's level exceeds that of the Noise Gate's threshold level post EQ. The light will go off shortly after the signal is cut. u Channel Volume Controls the output level of the channel's signal and adjusts the volume balance between channels. * The volume on channels not being used should be lowered. i ST CH DUCKER (Stereo Channel Ducker) Input channels 1 and 2 are equipped with a "DUCKER Function". This function automatically decreases the ST Input signal's volume when the signal from channel 1 or 2 exceeds the designated level. (Refer to page 9 for more information.) • DUCKER ON/OFF Switch Switches the DUCKER Function ON/OFF. • DUCKER Indicator Lights when the DUCKER function is activated. • DUCKER Attenuator Sets the volume level to which the signal from the ST input jacks will be lowered when the DUCKER Function is operating. Rotating the knob to the right decreases the volume. MV800 - Owner's Manual
