PEAK LED
The XM910’s MIC/LINE pre-amp also includes a PEAK LED which, when illumi-
nated, indicates that the signal is peaking or overloading. To reduce distortion,
lower the GAIN control to keep this LED from staying on.
GAIN - Control
The XM910’s pre-amp stage has a variable GAIN control with a range of -6 to
-50dB on the MIC input and +14 to -30dB on the LINE input.
VOLUME - Level Control
The VOLUME control adjusts the output volume of each channel.
STEREO INPUT CHANNEL SECTION
The XM910 features two stereo input strips, which include channels 7/8 and 9/10. While these channels look
very much like the mono channels, they have two inputs so they can accept a stereo signal. The AUX send
and Equalizer are laid out on the same as the mono inputs on the control panel, but internally, they are con-
trolling a stereo signal path. As an added bonus, these inputs also include a microphone input, which can
be used in mono. There are two differences in the stereo channel controls, the Balance control and Gain.
These controls are detailed in the following section.
BALANCE (Stereo Inputs Only)
The MDR1064’s BALANCE control is used to place or position the stereo signal
into the main Left and Right MIX bus. You can move a stereo signal’s image to
the left or right by setting the BALANCE control to the left or to the right.
GAIN - Control (Stereo Inputs Only)
The XM910’s pre-amp stage has a variable GAIN control with a range of -6 to
-50dB on the MIC input and +14 to -30dB on the LINE input.
VOLUME - Level Control
The VOLUME control adjusts the output volume of each channel.
