Model LM16 [Mixer basics]
EQ HIGH
The EQ HIGH is a shelving type EQ which pro-
vides up to 18 dB of boost or cut above 12 kHz.
The center detent position of the control is the
flat position. You can emphasize a cymbal or
sharpen a vocal, keyboard or guitar by boost-
ing the EQ HIGH. You can soften the high fre-
quency sound by cutting the EQ HIGH.
EQ MID
The EQ MID is a peaking type EQ which pro-
vides up to 18 dB of boost and cut at the center
frequency. You can sweep the center frequency
between 100 Hz and 8 kHz. The center detent
position of the control is the flat position. For
most of sound sources, the mid frequency range
absolutely effects the sound. Therefore, you can
dramatically tailor the sound using the EQ MID.
EQ LO
The EQ LO is a shelving type EQ which provides
up to 18 dB of boost or cut below 80 Hz. The
center detent position of the control is the flat
position. You can emphasize a kick, guitar, bass,
etc.

• Using AUX 1, 2 and 3
You can use AUX busses for sending channel
signals to an external effects processor or stage
monitor, etc.
The [AUX] send control on each mixer chan-
nel adjusts the amount of the channel signal
sent to the AUX buss. The signal after the [AUX
SEND] control in the master section which
adjusts the total AUX buss level is output from
the [AUX SEND] jack.
There are two send signal types - pre-fader
and post-fader. You can select pre- or post-
fader for the AUX 1 buss. The AUX 2 buss is
fixed to pre-fader, while the AUX 3 buss is
fixed to post-fader.
In general, you send a post-fader signal to an
effects processor, while you send a pre-fader
signal for stage monitoring.

Pre-fader
A channel signal before the channel fader is
sent to the buss. You can make a mix which
is completely independent from the main
mix. Pre-fader AUX sends are generally used
for the monitor mix, because the channel fad-
ers don't affect the AUX send signals.
Any adjustments made to the front-of-the-
house mix don't affect the balance heard by
the performers onstage.
Post-fader
A channel signal after the channel fader is
sent to the buss. Post-fader Aux sends are
generally used for connecting to external ef-
fects processors. The send signal is raised or
lowered according to the channel fader.
