5 AUX Controls (AUX1 to AUX6)
These knobs adjust the channel’s signal levels into AUX buses
1 to 6. Each knob controls the signal into the corresponding
AUX bus.
For AUX1 to AUX4, you use the PRE switch (6) to select
whether the pre-fader or post-fader signal is fed to the bus. For
AUX5 and AUX6, only the post-fader signal can be fed.
These knobs should generally be set close to the position.
On stereo channels, the L (odd) and R (even) input signals are
mixed before moving into the AUX bus.
To enable use of AUX5 and AUX6, you must turn on
the AUX5/AUX6 switch (
8 ).
6 PRE Switch
Selects whether the pre-fader or the post-fader signal is fed to
the corresponding pair of AUX buses. The upper PRE switch
controls the signal to AUX1 and AUX2; the lower switch con-
trols the signal to AUX3 and AUX4. If the switch is on (
),
the mixer feeds the pre-fader signal to the corresponding buses.
If off (
), the mixer feeds the post-fader signal.
There is no PRE switch for AUX5 and AUX6. For
these buses only the post-fader signal is available.
7 EFFECT Controls
These knobs adjust the channel’s signal levels into EFFECT
buses 1 and 2. Since the signal to the EFFECT buses is
post-fader, the level is always determined by the combination
of the EFFECT control and the channel fader.
On stereo channels, the L (odd) and R (even) input signals are
mixed before moving into the EFFECT bus.
These knobs operate as EFFECT controls only if
the AUX5/AUX6 switch is in off position (
). If the
switch is on, these knobs adjust the output to the
AUX5 and AUX6 buses. (See
8 below.)
8 AUX5, AUX6 Switch
Selects whether the channel signal is sent to AUX buses 5 and
6 or EFFECT buses l and 2. If the switch is on (
), the signal
goes to AUX5 and 6 buses; if off ( ), the signal goes to the
EFFECT buses. Note that the signal to these buses is always
post-fader.
9 PAN Control (Monaural Channels)
BAL Control (Stereo Channels)
The PAN control adjusts the signal’s pan positioning into the
Group 1-2 bus pair, into the Group 3-4 bus pair, and into the
Stereo bus’s L and R lines.
The BAL control knob sets the balance between left and right
channels. Signals into the L input (odd channel) feed to the
Group 1 and Group 3 buses and to the L line of the Stereo bus.
Signals into the R input (even channel) feed to the Group 2 and
Group 4 buses and to the R line of the Stereo bus.
If you are inputting to a stereo channel through the
L (MONO) jack only, the BAL knob operates as a
PAN knob.
0 ON Switch
Sets the channel on or off. To turn the channel on, press the
switch in (
) so that it lights up orange. Be sure to turn on all
the channels that you wish to use. If you set the channel off
( ), you cut off all of its signal feed into the ST, GROUP,
AUX, and EFFECT buses.
• The ON switch does not affect the operation of
the PFL switch ( A ). You can monitor the chan-
nel’s pre-fader signal through the PHONES jack
even when the ON switch is set off.
• To reduce noise, turn all unused channels off
( ).
A PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) Switch
Use this switch to feed the channel’s pre-channel-fader signal
into the PFL bus, so that you can monitor the signal from the
PHONES jack. To turn PFL feed on, press the switch in (
)
so that it lights up.
• If you switch on output to both the PFL and AFL
buses, the mixer outputs only the PFL signal.
• If you set PFL on for multiple channels, the mixer
feeds the mixed signal from the channels into the
PFL bus.
B PEAK indicator
Lights up when the channel’s post-equalizer signal level comes
within 3 dB of the clipping level.
C SIGNAL indicator
Lights up when a signal is being input into the channel.
D GROUP Switches
Use these switches to feed the channel’s signal to the GROUP
1-2 and/or GROUP 3-4 buses. Setting the switch on (
)
causes the signal to feed into the corresponding GROUP buses.
These switches allow you to independently assign
the signal to groups regardless of the setting of the
ST switch (
E ).
E ST Switch
Set this switch on ( ) to feed the channel’s signal to the ST
bus.
F Channel Fader
Adjusts the output level of the channel’s signal. Use these fad-
ers to adjust the volume balance among the various channels.
To reduce noise, set the fader sliders for unused
channels all the way down.
