GAIN TRIM
This control is used to adjust the input gain and affects both the XLR and
the RCA inputs. The input gain can be adjusted by +/- 15dB. This allows
a wide rage of program sources to be set up with optimum gain structure.
With the gain trim in the centre position, the boost/cut is set to 0dB. See
the block diagram on page 10 for details of the gain structure.
LEVEL
Controls the level of the input signal.
INPUT STATUS LEDS
Each input has an LED status indicator. The LED is green when there is
signal present and red if the signal is approaching clip. If the LED begins
to light red this would indicate the internal signal level is 6dB before clip.
Note that the front panel level control is post status LED and as such, the
status LED is NOT affected by the level control. If an input channel is
clipping use the gain trim to adjust the correct amount of input level.
CHANNEL TONE CONTROLS
Each input has a 2 band EQ.
Bass – +/-12dB 100Hz shelving
Treble – +/-9dB 10kHz shelving
MIC / LINE
Channels 1 to 4 have a switch which controls the sensitivity of the XLR
input. In the off/out or “MIC” position the XLR input is suitable for use with
microphones; in the on/in or “LINE” position the XLR input is suitable for
use with a balanced line level signal.
NOTE: The Mic/Line switches only affect the XLR input.
MASTER
This pot controls the overall mixed output level for both left and right
channels.

be set as pre or post master volume control. See “Internal Settings” on
