4.7 3-BAND EQUALIZER

A 3-band equalizer is provided for each input channel with a wide
range of frequency adjustment.

- HI

This is the treble control. You can use it to get rid of high frequency
noises or to boost the sound of cymbals or the high harmonics
of the human voice. The gain range goes from -15dB to +15dB
with a center frequency of 12kHz.

- MID

This is the midrange control. It can affect most fundamental
frequencies of all musical instruments and human voice. An
attentive use of this control will give you a very wide panorama
of sound effects. The gain range goes from -12dB to +12dB
and the center frequency is 2.5kHz.

- LOW

This is the bass control. It is used to boost male voice, kickdrum
or bass guitar. Your system will sound much bigger than what
it is. The gain range goes from -15dB to +15dB and the center
frequency is 80Hz.

4.8 AUX SENDS CONTROL

These two controls are used to adjust the level of signal sent to
AUX bus1&2, and this adjustment doesn't effect the main mix
output signal at all.
AUX1 can be configured as PRE/POST fader via the PRE/POST
switch. Up for POST fader, the signal is sent out after the channel
fader and will be affected by the channel fader. Down for PRE
fader, the signal is sent out before the channel fader and will not
be affected by the channel fader. AUX2 is configured as POST
fader, however, it can also be configured as PRE fader through
internal modification. (For more detail, please refer to chapter 6)

4.9 PAN/BAL CONTROL

Abbreviation of PANORAMA control for mono channels, for the
stereo channels, always says, BALANCE control. You can adjust
the stereo image of the signal via this control. Keep this control
in center position and your signal will be positioned in the middle
of stage. Turn this control fully counterclockwise and the signal
will be present only on the left speaker and vice-versa.

4.10 MUTE/ALT3-4 SWITCH & LED INDICATOR

Each channel is equipped with the MUTE/ALT3-4 switch. This
switch is used to route the channel signal to ALT3-4 output instead
of the main mix and the LED beside MUTE/ALT3-4 will illuminate
when the switch is pressed.

4.11 SOLO SWITCH & LED INDICATOR

When pressing this switch, the SOLO signal will replace other signals and reach to the CONTROL ROOM /
PHONES, also the LED beside it will illuminate. Usually use the SOLO function to preview each channel signal
before they are let into the mix. It is useful to set an instrument's input level and EQ, and you can "solo" any channel
that you want to. However, The SOLO switch never affects any mix other than the CONTROL ROOM/PHONES mix.
