1

  MIC / LINE INPUT

 

An XLR or 1/4” microphone or line level source can be connected here

2

  80Hz HIGH-PASS FILTER

 

Reduces low frequency “rumble” from microphone signals

3

  –26 dB PAD BUTTON

 

Reduces the signal strength of the associated input signal by 26 dB

4

  48V PHANTOM POWER BUTTON

 

Activates phantom power which will send a 48V Charge to the XLR input 
connections on CH1 & CH2, required for condenser type microphones.

 

 CAUTION: 

Leave this switch turned off if phantom power is not required. 

In order to prevent noise and possibly damaging connected devices please 
follow these instructions:

 •

Leave 48V phantom power off when connecting a device that does not  

  require it

 •

 Do not plug or unplug any connections to CH1 & CH2 of the LV8 when  

  48V phantom power is on

 •

Before turning on or off 48V phantom power make sure the CH1 & CH2  

  level controls are turned all the way down (to the left-most position)

5

  1/4” INPUTS

 

CH3|4 – Connect a passive guitar signal (mono or stereo) or a mono or 
stereo line-level signal here

 

CH5|6 – Connect a mono or stereo line-level signal here

6

  GUITAR HI-Z BUTTON

 

Changes the impedance on CH3|4 to optimize passive guitar  
and bass signals

7

  GAIN CONTROL

 

Adjusts the preamp gain for the associated channel

8

  HIGH EQ CONTROL

 

 Boosts or cuts the high frequencies of the associated input signal, at a 
corner frequency of 10 kHz

9

  MID EQ CONTROL

 

Boosts or cuts the mid frequencies of the associated input signal, at a 
center frequency of 2.5 kHz.

10

  LOW EQ CONTROL

 

Boosts or cuts the low frequencies of the associated input signal, at a 
corner frequency of 100 Hz

11

  CHANNEL SEND CONTROL

 

Controls the relative level of the associated channel being sent  
to the SEND bus.

12

  PAN CONTROL

 

Adjusts positioning of the channel input signal within the stereo sound field

13

  CLIP INDICATOR LED

 

Lights red when the signal level at the preamp stage is too high and 
causing clipping/distortion.

14

  CH LEVEL CONTROL

 

Adjusts the relative level of the associated channel being sent to  
the MAIN bus

15

  MAIN OUTPUTS

 

The signal at this output contains the entire mix of input signals. Connect 
this output to the inputs of powered speakers, a power amp or recording 
interface, via XLR cable.

16

  CTRL RM OUTPUTS

 

¼” outputs for feeding control room or booth monitors 

17

 

HEADPHONE OUTPUT

 

 Connect headphones here. This signal is the same as that being sent to the 
MAIN bus

18

  SEND OUTPUT

 

¼” output for feeding a floor monitor or external FX processor.  
The individual channel SEND controls (see 

11

 ) and SEND MASTER 

control (see 

27

 ) feed this output.

19

  RETURN INPUT 

 

Mono ¼” or stereo ¼” (using a “Y” insert cable) input. Typically, this 
will be used to return the SEND output ( 

18

 ) after it is processed by an 

external effects unit. This can also be used as an additional input sent 
directly to the MAIN mix bus.

20

  REC OUT

 

This signal is taken from the MAIN bus. Connect this output to a recording 
device with a stereo 1/8” (3.5 mm) input

21

  BLUETOOTH / CH 7|8 STEREO LEVEL CONTROL

 

 Controls the level of the BLUETOOTH and CH 7|8 STEREO input signals 
being sent to the MAIN bus

22

  BLUETOOTH/CH 7|8 SOLO BUTTON

 

Mutes all input sources except BLUETOOTH and CH 7|8 STEREO  
input signals

23

  CH 7|8 STEREO INPUT

 

Connect a phone, tablet, or laptop here, with a stereo 1/8” (3.5 mm) 
cable. This input is routed directly to the MAIN bus.

24

  BLUETOOTH PAIR BUTTON

 

With no actively paired device, pressing this button will activate pairing 
mode (LED will start blinking).  

 

With a device actively paired (LED lit solidly), pressing this button will 
cancel the pair and will activate pairing mode (LED will begin blinking).  

 

Pressing and holding this button will cancel any active pair and turn 
Bluetooth off (LED will turn off)

25

  RETURN CONTROL

 

Controls the level of the signal from the RETURN INPUT 

19

 being sent 

directly to the MAIN bus.

26

  MAIN OUTPUT LEVEL METERS

 

Displays the main mix output level

27

  SEND MASTER CONTROL 

 

Controls the combined send output level feeding the  
SEND OUTPUT 

18

28

  CH 3|4, 5|6 BAL CONTROLS

 

Adjusts the stereo balance of the associated stereo input signal. If the input 
signal is mono, the BAL control acts as a PAN control. See 

12

29

  STEREO/MONO BUTTON

 

Switches the MAIN out signal between mono and stereo operation.  
Out position = stereo, in position = mono

30

  HEADPHONE | CONTROL ROOM LEVEL CONTROL 

 

Controls the level of the headphone and control room outputs.  
This signal is taken from the MAIN bus

31

  MAIN OUTPUT LEVEL CONTROL

 

Controls the level of the MAIN output. The unity gain position on this 
volume control is indicated with a shaded in segment on the surrounding 
knob graphic. At the unity gain setting no additional volume boost or cut is 
being added to the main output signal.
