When this button is depressed, the channel's high-
pass filter will engage, reducing frequencies below 80 Hz to reduce any
low-level noise.
15.
GUITAR SWITCH –
When this switch is in the down position, Channel 2
will serve as a high-impedance input for connecting guitar or bass
instruments. When the switch is in the up position, Channel 2 will accept
mic or line-level signals.
16.
GAIN –
Adjusts the channel audio level (pre-fader and pre-EQ gain).
Adjust this so that the PEAK LED just barely lights up during the loudest
parts of the song.
17.
CHANNEL VOLUME –

18.
PEAK LED –
The LED will flash red if the signal is clipping. If this
happens, decrease the setting of the GAIN knob or CHANNEL VOLUME
knob.
When using LINE INPUTS 5/6, 7/8, and
the AUX RETURNS:
•
If only the left channel is used, the
signal will be heard in both left and
right channels and the balance will
not be adjustable.
•
If only the right channel is used, the
signal will be heard in the right
channel only.
Use standard 1/4" TRS (tip-ring-sleeve)
cables when connecting devices to the
INSERT jacks. The signal is sent from
the tip of the cable and returns on the
ring.
