    wipe away any stains. Use a soft cloth to wipe 
    any residual cleaner. Never use volatile clean-
    ers  such as benzene, solvent, or thinner to clean 
    your unit, these cleaners will damage the units 
    surface. 
    14.  Handle the power supply cord carefully. Do 
    not  damage  or  deform;  it  may  cause  electric 
    shock  or  malfunction  when  used.  Hold  plug

    cords  should  be  routed  so  that  they  are  not 
    likely  to  be  walked  on  or  pinched  by  items 
    placed upon or against them, paying particular 
    attention to cords at plugs, convenience recep-
    tacles,  and  the  point  where  they  exit  from  the 
    mixer. Route your power cord out of the way of 
    foot traffic.

    CHANNEL CONTROL SECTION 
    						
    							
    CHANNEL CONTROL SECTION:
    1.   PEAK LED INDICATORS & TRIm C ONTROL -  
    PEAK INDICATORS - These LED indicators will “light” when the input signal reaches 5d b below the 
    channel’s  clipping  point.  If  the  LED  “lights”  more  then  usual,  you  should  use  the TRIM  CONTROL  to 
    decrease the input level of the channel. If this does not work, reduce the output level of the connected 
    source.
    TRIm CONTROL - This adjustment is used to adjust the audio source signal input gain for a channel. 
    The best S/N and dynamic range balance will be reached if you adjust the TRIM CONTROL so that the 
    PEA k INDICATORS “light” occasionally. 
    Channel Sensitivity”
      MIC input sensitivity is between +6d b and -50db. 
      Line input sensitivity is between +14d b and -30db.
      The Mono/Stereo Combo input channel sensitivity is between +20d b and -20db.
    2.  HPF (HIGH PASS FILTER) BUTTON - This button toggles the HPF (Hight Pass Filter) on or off. To 
    turn the HPF on press the button in. The HPF cuts frequencies  below 75Hz.
    3. EQUALIZER - Please see the chart below for the max. Boost/Cut for each control. 
       CHANNEL H IGH CONTROL - This knob is used to adjust the high (treble) frequency levels of the channel. 
    Turning the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of treble applied to a channel 
    signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of treble applied to a channel signal.
        CHANNEL mID  CONTROL - This knob is used to adjust the midrange levels of the channel. Turning 
    the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of midrange applied to a channel 
    signal,  turning  the  knob  in  a  clockwise  direction  will  increase  the  amount  of  midrange  applied  to  a 
    channel signal.
          CHANNEL  LOw  CONTROL - This  knob  is  used  to  adjust  the  low  frequency  levels  of  the  chan-
    nel. Turning the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of bass applied to a 
    channel signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of bass applied to a 
    channel signal.
    4. AUX CONTROLS - The AUX knobs control the signal level that the channel sends to AUX bus. 
    5. PRE/POST BUTTON - This button determines if the AUX signal is Pre Fader (signal level is not 
    affected by fader position) or Post Fader (signnal level is affected by the fader position). 
    6.  EFX CONTROL - These knobs control the signal levels sent to the EFX bus. The channel signals 
    mixed by this bus have their overall level set by the MASTER EFX SEND control to the EFX jack located 
    on the front top panel. Since the control is place after the channel fader, the signal level will be 
    affected by the channel fader’s setting.
    NOTE: The Effect bus signal is also fed into the internal DSP (digital signal processor).

    7. PAN/BALANCE CONTROL - 
    PAN (mono Control) - This control pans the channel signal across the master L and R buses, there-
    fore determining the ideal position of the sound from that channel.
    EXA mPLE:  If  the  PAN  control  is  set  all  the  way  to  the  left,  the  sound  from  that  channel  will  only  be 
    projected from the left speaker only. Same goes for the control being set all the way to the right, only 
    from the right speaker.
    BALANCE (Stereo Control) - This control lets you adjust the balance of the L/R position, of the stereo 
    input signal. Turning this knob to the left moves the source signal towards the MAIN MIX L bus, turning 
    the knob to the right sends the signal towards the MAIN MIX R bus.
    8.  mUTE/ALT  3/4  BUTTON  - When  the  corresponding  channels  MUTE/ALT  3/4  button  is  not  active 
    (depressed) the channel output will be sent to the ALT 3/4 output, and not the MAIN L/R output. The 
    ALT 3/4 bus gives you a second independent stereo sub mix with its own sub master stereo fader.
    9.  PFL  BUTTONS  - This  button  allows  you  to  monitor  the  PRE  FADER  LEVEL  input  signal  through 
    headphones or the control room outputs. When the button is NOT pressed the channel signal will be 
    sent to the PFL bus.   
    10.  CHANNEL  FADERS  - Thes  faders  are  channel’s  main  level  control.  These  fader’s  control  the 
    signal level sent from the channel to the master mixing, group outs, and effect buses. The settings of 
    the input channel faders affect the mix or the sound level balance between the instruments or other 
    sources  connected  to  the  inputs.  When  a  channel  is  not  being  used,  the  fader  should  be  set  at  the 
    minimum position to prevent any unwanted noise added to the main signal.
