CONTROL ELEMENTS

Insert Jacks
These jacks can be used to insert an external signal-processing device between the equalizer and fader of the corresponding monaural input channel. The insert jacks are ideal for connecting devices such as graphic equalizers, compressors or noise filters into the corresponding channels.
Line Input
Balanced 6.3mm (¼”) jack line inputs. You can connect either balanced or unbalanced phone plugs to these jacks.
Microphone Input
Balanced XLR input jacks.
48V Indicator
The red LED lights up when phantom power is switched on. Phantom power is required to operate condenser microphones.
Phantom +48V
This switch toggles phantom power on and off. When the switch is on the mixer supplies +48V phantom power to XLR input jack. Turn this switch on when using one or more phantom-powered condenser microphones.
TRIM Control
Adjusts the input signal level. To get the best balance between the S/N ratio and the dynamic range, adjust the gain so that the peak indicator (15) lights only occasionally and briefly on the highest input transients. The -60 to +10 scale is the MIC input adjustment range. The 40 to +10 scale is the line input adjustment range.
Signal LED Indicator
Check the input signal.
Low Out Switch
This switch toggles the HPF on or off. To turn the HPF on, the HPF cuts frequencies below 75Hz.
Equalizer
Three-band equalizer adjusts the channel’s high, mid and low frequency bands. Setting the knob to the “O” position produces a fiat response in the corresponding band. Turning the knob to the right boosts the corresponding frequency band, while turning to the left attenuates the band.
Aux Control
Monitor and effect busses (Aux sends) source their signals via a control from one or more channels and sum these signals to a so-called bus. This bus signal is sent to an aux send connector (for monitoring applications: Mon Out) and then routed, for example, to an active monitor speaker or external effect device. In the latter case, the effects return can then be brought back into the console via the aux return connectors. All monitor and effect busses are mono, are tapped into post EQ and offer amplification of up to +15dB.
Pre Switch
With the Pre-switch, you can route an input channel to the headphone/Room section.
FX/AUX Control
The aux send marked FX offers a direct route to the built-in effects processor and is therefore post-fader and post-mute.
PAN Control
The PAN control determines the position of the channel signal within the stereo image. When working with subgroups, you can use the PAN control to assign the signal to just one output, which gives you additional flexibility in recording situations. For example, when routing to subgroups 3 and 4,panning hard left will route the signal to group output 3 only, and panning hard right will route to group output 4 only.
ON/OFF Switch
Turn this switch on to send the signal to the buses. The switch lights orange when on.
Clip LED
The clip-led lights up when the input signal is driven too high. If this happens, back off the Trim control and, if necessary
Solo Switch
The solo switch is used to route the channel signal to the solo bus (Solo In Place) or to the PFL bus (Pre Fader Listen). This enables you to listen to a channel signal without affecting the main output signal. The signal you hear is taken either before the pan control (PFL, mono) or after the pan and channel fader.
SUB Switch 1-2
The SUB switch routes the signal to the corresponding subgroups.
SUB Switch 3-4
The SUB switch routes the signal to the
corresponding subgroups.
Main Switch
This switch aligns the main.
Channel Fader
Adjusts the level if the channel signal. Use these faders to adjust the balance between the various channels.
BT-Function
Contact mobile phone or tablet. Connecting: Press the “contact switch” for two seconds, then the signal LED light up, use your mobile phone or tablet and choose “PD Power Dynamics” BT connection.
A. Effector Level Light
Show the effect level stronger. B. Effector Display Show the kind of effector C. Mp3 Play Window Show the MP3 time, song name and other play instruction.
FX Control
The aux send jacks carries the master aux mix (from the channel FX controls).You can connect this to an external effects device to process the FX bus. The processed signal can then be brought from the effects device back into the Stereo Aux return jacks.
Program Dial
You can select the effect preset by turning the program control. The display flashes with the number of the current preset. To recall the selected preset, press on the button; the flashing stops. You can also recall the selected preset with the foot switch.
Aux Control
With this fader you can control the Aux output jack.
9-Band Stereo Graphic Equalizer
The graphic stereo equalizer allows you to tailor the sound to the room acoustics.
Headphone/Room Level
Use this control to adjust the output level of headphone.
Aux return Stereo
Adjusts the level at which the signal received at the return jacks (L and R), is sent to the stereo L/R bus.
CD/PC Control
Adjusts the level of the signal sent from de CD IN jacks. Computer USB audio input & sound control.
MP3 Switch same as No. 14.
FX Switch same as No. 14.
Same as No. 15,16,17,18,19
FX Send Fader
Control effect input signal level & Send FX Jack input.
MP3 Fader
Control effect input signal level.
Computer USB Contacted Jack
Used USB cable line to contact with computer & mixer. Mixer could be play the computer audio and computer could be recording the mixer output audio.
USB Port
USB: can be play through U-DISK
MP3/BT Command
STOP: Press shortly to stop playing. Press for seconds for recording, also press 2 seconds to stop recording.
PREV / NEXT: Turning the program control.
PLAY: Press the program control knob.
REP: Repeating of single track or all tracks.
MP3 EQ
Two-band equalizer adjusts the level if the two bands MP3 player.
Phantom +48V
This switch toggles phantom power on and off. When the switch is on the mixer supplies +48V phantom power to all channels that have XLR input jacks. Turn this switch on when using one or more phantom-powered condenser microphones.
48V Indicator
The red LED lights up when phantom power is switched on. Phantom power is required to operate condenser microphones
Power indicator
This indicator lights when the mixer power is on.
VU-Meter
Displays the signal of output.
NOTE : The “0” segment corresponds to the nominal output level. The peak indicator lights up red when the output reaches the clipping level.
EQ Switch
Use this switch to activate the graphic equalizer.
PFL indicator
When open the monitor, PFL is lighting.
Headphone Input
6.3mm (¼”) input jack for connecting a headphone.
Main Mix Fader
Sub to Main Switch
If this switch is on, the mixer send the signals processed by the Sub faders onto the stereo bus.
Sub Fader 1-4
Adjusts the signal level sent to the Sub Out (1-4 Jacks).
You use the high-precision quality faders to control the output level of the main mix.
