12. Aux Mon
These knobs tap a portion of each channel's signal to
set up a nice monitor mix feeding stage monitors,
independent of the main mix. Adjust these controls on
each channel until the band is happy with the stage
monitor mix.
The controls are off when fully turned down, deliver
unity gain at the center detent, and can provide up to
15 dB of gain turned fully up.
The pan switch and channel level do not affect the
monitor output, but the other channel controls will.
The aux mon is pre-fader, so adjusting the channel's
level control will not affect the aux mon output level.
The overall output level may be adjusted with the aux
master mon knob and monitor's EQ tweaked with the
graphic EQ if the main mix/mon switch is engaged.
Internal FX may also be added to the monitor mix with
the FX to mon knob.
13. Aux FX
These knobs tap a portion of each channel's signal to
set up a nice FX mix feeding the internal FX processor,
and to feed external processors via the FX send.
The controls are off when fully turned down, deliver
unity gain at the center detent, and can provide up
to 15 dB of gain turned fully up.
The channel level and other channel controls affect
the FX output, but the pan switch does not. The aux
FX is post-fader.
The FX signal reaching the internal FX processor
and the FX send output jack is the sum (mix) of all
the channels whose aux FX control is set to more than
minimum.
FX are added to the main mix by increasing the level
of the FX to main knob. Internal FX may also be added
to the monitor mix by increasing the level of the FX
to mon knob.

14. Stereo Pan Switch (Ch. 1–2)
With this switch out, each mono channel feeds
both the left and right sides of the main mix equally.
For example:
• Playing a mono source: If you talk into a
microphone connected to input 1, your sweet tones
will be heard in both the left and right loudspeakers.
• Overdubbing a mono source: if you are
monitoring directly through the headphones, you
can hear the overdub signal in both ears while you
are playing.
With this switch pressed in, channel 1 will play only
in the left side of the main mix, and channel 2 will play
in the right side. For example:
• Recording a stereo source: If you have a stereo
microphone connected to the mic inputs, or if you are
playing a stereo source into the line inputs, each side
of the source can be recorded discretely onto a recorder
connected to the main or tape outputs.
The pan switch does not affect channels 3 or 4,
or the tape inputs.
15. Level
This is the last control in a channel’s signal path, and
it adjusts the level of each channel onto the main mix.
The “U” mark indicates unity gain, meaning no increase
or decrease of signal level. All the way up provides an
additional 10 dB, should you need to boost a section of
a song. If you find that the overall level is too quiet or
too loud with the level near unity, check that the gain
control is set correctly.
