CONTROL ELEMENTS

1. Microphone Input
   Balanced XLR input jacks.

2. LINE Input
   Balanced 6.3mm (¼”) jack line inputs. You can connect either balanced or unbalanced phone plugs to these jacks.

3. 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 (8) lights only occasionally and briefly on the highest input transients. The +10dB to +60dB scale is the MIC input adjustment range. The +10dB to -40db scale is the line input adjustment range.

4. 3-BandsEqualizer
   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.

5. FX Control
   Adjusts the effect signal level.

6. PAN Control

7. ON/OFF Switch
   Turn this switch on to send the signal to master. The switch lights when on.

8. Peak LED
   The peak-led lights up when the input signal is driven too high. If this happens, back off the TRIM control and, if necessary, check the setting of the channel EQ.

9. Solo Switch

19. Repeat Control
    Adjusts the parameter (depth, speed, etc.) for the selected effect.

20. 7-Bands Equalizer
    The graphic stereo equalizer allows you to tailor the sound to the room acoustics.

21. 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.

22. Line In control
    Adjusts the level of the signal sent from RCA Line in jacks (12).

23. Headphone Level
    Use this control to adjust the output level of headphone.

24. FX Fader
