6 / 7 / 8. Equalizer SECTION (HI / MID / LOW)

 

The mixer’s Equalizer section allows shaping of the incoming audio signal. All mono input channels are 
fitted with 3-band EQ. The upper (6) and lower (8) shelving   controls have their frequencies fixed at 12 
KHz and 80 Hz respectively. The Mid range control (7) has a peaking response frequency at 2.5 KHz. All 3 
bands have up to 15 dB cut and boost, with a centre detent. Turning the Equalizer to the right amplifies 
the frequency range, turning to the left attenuates the signal. Minor changes to the Equalizer control 
usually produce the best results. Try to avoid  excessive enhancement of the MID band. 
 

9. AUX

 

The FX control allows you to change the aux level to the FX Mix.  
 

10. Pan (Mono Channels)

 

By using the panorama control you can change the input signal’s position within the stereo image. When 
the panorama control is set to center position, the audio signal is equal for both the left and right output. 
 

Bal (stereo channels) 

By using the balance control you can adjust the balance between the left and the right channel. If you 
use a mono source (input left mono) the control works as a panorama  control and lets you change the 
input signal’s position within the stereo image.

15. Phantom Power LED

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This LED indicates when the phantom power is switched on  

 

 

 

 

 

 

for the microphone inputs. After switching on the mixer, the 

 

 

 

 

 

 

red LED should not light up. So both balanced and    

 

 

 

 

 

 

unbalanced microphones can be connected. Unbalanced 

 

 

 

 

 

 

microphones may be damaged if the Phantom power is  

 

 

 

 

 

 

activated however unbalanced microphones are rarely to  

 

 

 

 

 

 

be found these days. 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

16. Aux 1 return 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This control allows you to adjust the aux 1 level to the main  

 

 

 

 

 

 

mix. 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

17. Assign 2TK to main mix

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use this button to assign the 2TK input to the main mix.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

The level of the 2TK input is fixed. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

18. Assign 2TK to the Phones/ Control room group

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use this button to assign the 2TK input to the Phones/ Control 

 

 

 

 

 

 

group.  The level of the 2TK input is fixed. 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

19. Phones/ Control room 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This control allows you to adjust the control room/ phones  

 

 

 

 

                          output volume.

Caution: 

Depending on the type of headphones connected to the phones jack, the Powermix is 

capable of producing very high output levels via the phones output. Therefore, make sure to turn the 
control all the way down (minimum setting) before connecting the headphones.   

 

 

 

Listening to loud sound pressure levels over a longer period of time leads to hearing damage! 
 
20. Power LED 

The green power LED lights when the Sessionmix is turned on. If after switching the device on, the LED 
does not light, make sure that the AC adapter is connected properly. If the LED still doesn’t light up after 
everything is connected right, please contact your DAP audio dealer.
