Program Input Section
25. LEVEL
This knob adjusts the gain of the program input
signals selected by the position of the source select
switch [26]. This knob ranges from off to +13 dB of
gain at maximum. Adjust this with your good eye on the
program meters [43], so the level is typically bouncing
between the 0 and +6 LEDs.
26. SOURCE Select
This switch selects one of three possible input sources
for the program channel:
FireWire: The signal coming in from the FireWire
interface is selected as the source.
Line/phono: The signal connected to the phono
input [3] is selected. This could be from a
turntable or from a line-level playback device,
depending on the setting of the line/phono
switch [4].
CD: The signal connected to the CD input [2] is
selected.
Using this heavy duty switch, you can have signals
coming in on all three inputs, and quickly change
from one input source to another, without the need for
repatching.
27. HIGH EQ
This knob gives you up to 10 dB of boost at 4 kHz and
above, and turns off the signal at 4 kHz and above when
the knob is turned to the kill position. At the center
position, the high EQ has no effect on the signal.
28. MID EQ
This knob gives you up to 10 dB of boost at 1 kHz, and
turns off the signal at 1 kHz when the knob is turned to
the kill position. At the center position, the mid EQ has
no effect on the signal.
29. LOW EQ
This knob gives you up to 10 dB of boost at 300 Hz
and below, and turns off the signal at 300 Hz and below
when the knob is turned to the kill position. At the cen-
ter position, the low EQ has no effect on the signal.
When all three EQ knobs are turned to the kill posi-
tion, the signal is effectively muted and no signal passes
through to the output.
30. FX
Press this switch in to send the program signal to
the FX send outputs [6]. This allows you to send the
signal to an external effects processor, or even provide
a direct feed for the program signal to another mixer.
This switch will route the program signal to the FX send
output connectors, interrupting the signal to the main
outputs. If there is no effects processor connected to the
FX send and returns, then the program signal is muted.
31. BAL
This knob works like the balance control on a home
stereo. Turning the knob to the left turns down the right
side, and turning the knob to the right turns down the
left side. When the control is in the center, the left and
right sides are equally as loud (assuming the left and
right inputs are equal loudness).
