1
MIC / LINE INPUT
An XLR or 1/4” microphone or line level source can be
connected here.
2
–26 dB PAD BUTTON
Reduces the signal strength of the associated input signal by 26 dB.
3
80Hz HIGH-PASS FILTER
Reduces low frequency “rumble” from microphone signals.

COMPRESSOR
Each of the 4 MIC|LINE channels has it own compressor, which can
be useful to make vocals or other key inputs more prominent than
other inputs. At full counter-clockwise position, no compression will
be applied. Turning the knob up from minimum adjusts the threshold
from +20dB to -5dB and add 0dB to +9dB of make-up gain.

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
FX SEND CONTROL
Controls the relative level of the associated channel being sent to
the FX processor.
12
MON SEND CONTROL
Controls the relative level of the associated channel being sent
to the MON OUT.
13
PAN CONTROL
Adjusts positioning of the channel input signal within the stereo
sound field.
14
CLIP INDICATOR LED
Lights red when the signal level at the preamp stage is too high and
causing clipping/distortion.
15
CH LEVEL CONTROL
Adjusts the relative level of the associated channel being sent to the
MAIN bus.

internal FX. This can be helpful when addressing the audience
between songs.
17
1/4” INPUTS
CH5|6 CH7|8, CH 9|10 – Connect mono or stereo line-level
signals here.
18
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 cables. If a mono output is
desired, connect a 1/4” TRS cable to the MONO OUT jack.
19
CTRL RM OUTPUTS
1/4” outputs for feeding control room speakers or studio monitors.
20
MON OUTPUT
1/4” mono output for feeding floor monitor speakers.
21
HEADPHONE OUTPUT
Connect headphones here. This signal is the same as that being
sent to the MAIN bus.
22
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.
23
CH 11|12 STEREO INPUT
Connect a phone, tablet, or laptop here, with a stereo 1/8”
(3.5 mm) cable. This input is routed to the BLUETOOTH/
CH 11|12 channel.
24
USB PLAYBACK ROUTING TO CH 9|10 BUTTON
Pressing this button routes the USB audio input to CH 9|10. Use
the CH 9|10 level control to send this signal to the MAIN mix. If you
are recording over existing tracks coming from a DAW and you
wish to exclude those tracks from the audio being recorded, reduce
the CH 9|10 level control to its minimum / full counter-clockwise
position (do this for any channels you do not want recorded by the
DAW). Press the HEADPHONE|CTRL RM SOURCE button
and use the channel MON SEND CONTROLS to create a mix
of the playback and live recording tracks for the CTRL RM and
headphone outputs.
25
BLUETOOTH / CH 11|12 STEREO INPUT LEVEL CONTROLS
Controls the level of the BLUETOOTH and CH 11|12 input signals
being sent to the MAIN bus.
26
HEADPHONE|CTRL RM MASTER CONTROL
This control adjusts the signal level feeding the CTRL RM OUTS
and the Headphone output.
27
BLUETOOTH / CH 11|12 SOLO BUTTON
Mutes all input sources except BLUETOOTH or CH 11|12 input.
28
HEADPHONE|CTRL RM SOURCE SWITCH
Switches the signal feeding the headphones and control room
outputs, between main mix (out position) and monitor mix
(in position) signals.
