LCD Screen: Shows, by default, the 

name of the last recalled memory on the 
bottom line of the screen, and the current 
routing on the top line. Also used to show 
all parameters as they are edited, and all 
menu selections.

Control Keys: Selection and adjustment of parameters.

NEXT key moves forward through list of parameters.
BACK key moves backwards through list of parameters.
MENU key activates the main menu – a second press selects the last menu edited – a 

third press selects the last menu item. In this way, three presses on MENU from the default 
screen will jump back to the last parameter adjusted. Selection of different menus is 
accomplished using the BACK and NEXT keys, or with the FREQ encoder.

 key enters the chosen menu, confirms selections, and changes filter 

types when editing parametric sections.

 will flatten the currently selected parametric sections. Note that, for 

safety reasons, it is not possible to bypass the high and low pass filter sections.

 exits menus back to the default screen.

Rotary Encoders: Three velocity sensitive encoders adjust the relevant 

parameters as displayed on the screen.

Input Sections: Control and monitor input signal paths.
Red 

MUTE buttons illuminate when pressed and mute audio for 

that channel.

EDIT buttons illuminate yellow when pressed, and access gain on first 

press, then last viewed parameter on second press, then exit on third press.

Input meters show dB from clipping point of the analogue to digital converters. Yellow (0dB) LED 

illuminates 3dB from clipping. Red CLIP LED may illuminate independently from the rest of the meter to 
show digital overflow. All four CLIP LEDs illuminating indicates internal clipping after the ADC.

EDIT  buttons  illuminate  yellow  when  pressed,  and  access  gain  on  first  press,  then  last  viewed 

parameter on second press, then exit on third press.

Output meters show dB from limiting. The yellow LED illuminates at the onset of limiting. The 

red LED illuminates at 4dB,

 into limiting (i.e. 4dB of gain reduction).

Output Sections: Control and 
monitor output signal paths.
Red 

MUTE buttons illuminate 

when pressed and mute audio for 
that channel.
