The mono input channel is designed using a very high quality analogue signal path 
to ensure absolute sonic purity for microphone or line level sources. 

 

48V 

s48V to the XLR input for microphones that require phantom power.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE :  Switch off c48V when non-phantom powered 
mic, line or unbalanced sources are to be used with the inputs. 
 

φ

 

reverses the 

POLARITY 

of the input source to correct the problems often 

encountered in microphone placement, or due to incorrectly wired cables (pin 3 
hot instead of pin 2).  May also helpful in reducing acoustic feedback between 
closely positioned loudspeakers and mics in live sound mixing.   

PAD (LINE)

 selects the line level jack input when pressed or becomes a 30dB pad 

for the XLR input when no jack is plugged in.  The XLR is normalled through the 
unplugged jack contacts.  See MIC/LINE description above. 

GAIN

 matches the level of the input source to the normal operating level of the 

console.  Adjust this to read an average ‘

0dB

’ on the channel meter (yellow LED).  

Use the 

PFL

 system to listen to the signal and fine tune the gain. 

 

100Hz

 18dB/Octave lo-cut filter removes low frequency noise such as microphone 

pops, proximity effect, stage noise and transport rumble after the pre-amp stage. It 
can also be used to clean up sounds that do not have much bass content, such as 
vocals and cymbals. The lo-cut filter is independent of the equaliser.  
 
The 4-band

 EQ

 lets you adjust the tonal quality of the sound. The 

HF 

(treble) and

 

LF

 (bass) bands have a shelving response, which means that all frequencies 

beyond the corner frequency are affected. Used with the 100Hz lo-cut filter you 
can tailor the low frequency response exactly as you require.  The centre flat 
position is detented for quick resetting.

MIC INPUTS

   Plug a microphone source into the XLR input.  If you 

leave the jack input unplugged then the 

PAD (LINE)

 switch becomes a 

30dB pad for the microphone.  This lets you use the XLR input for high 
output microphones, or for line level sources. 

LINE INPUTS

   Plug a line level source into either the XLR or the TRS 

jack input.  If you use the XLR input make sure that you do not plug 
anything into the jack input, and that you press the 

PAD (LINE)

 switch. 

If you use the TRS jack input make sure that you press the 

PAD (LINE)

switch.  The jack input is only selected with this switch pressed.
