20dB

:

 

If needed the user can pad the microphone inputs using the -20db attenuator. This adjustment takes 

place before the first input tube

. This function is defeated while the Hi-Z inputs are engaged.

 

 

 

POLARITY

 

REVERSE

:

 Some of the more common reasons to use this would be to reduce feedback in 

a live environment, enhance the stereo image of certain content or to assist in eliminating headphone signal 
bleed through during a recording session. 

 

 

MUTE

Each channel is equipped with its own mute function. The LED indicates the mute function is 

engaged; output signal is completely cut. However, the meter will still monitor the output level whether mute is 
engaged or not (unless it too is switched off.)
