HDPH / CTRL RM

The HDPH / CTRL RM knob controls the level of the signal

being sent to the CTRL RM OUT and the PHONES output. The

level of this signal is represented by the LED meters. The “CTRL

RM” in the name of this knob refers to the fact that it controls the

signal that typically is sent to the control room monitors of a

studio, where someone—usually an engineer—is working the

mixer. However, don’t be intimidated if you’re using this mixer in

your bedroom, which probably isn’t equipped with a control room.

In this scenario, you can use headphones or connect the CTRL

RM OUT to your speakers.

AUX RETURN A LEVEL

This is the level control for the signal returning to the mixer via

AUX RETURN A.

EFFECTS / AUX RET B LEVEL

If you are using one of the MultiMix 8 USB’s internal effects, this

knob controls the effect level. If AUX SEND B is connected to an

external device, this knob controls the level for AUX RETURN B.

LED Meters

These are the two rows of yellow, green and red lights you see in

the master section of the mixer. The LED meters allow you to

view the signal level of the main mix and 2-TRACK IN depending

on which signal you have routed to the control room mix.

POWER Indicator

When this LED is lit up, that means the POWER ON switch on

the rear of the mixer has been activated.

+48V Indicator

When this one is lit up, that means the PHANTOM ON switch on

the rear of the mixer has been activated and is supplying +48V

phantom power to all XLR mic inputs.
