Mixer Controls

Mic Section

MIC LEVEL

 sets the gain of the 

Mic Input. The range is off to +44 

dB. There is no engage switch, so 

set the Mic Level to zero (0) when 

you aren't using it. The Mic Input 

minimum gain is 26 dB, so a line-

level mic source (such as a wireless 

receiver) must be padded.

The 

OL

 indicator lights 6 dB 

before clipping. Adjust the Mic 

Level so the OL indicator flashes 

only when you really shout into 

the mic.

MIC HIGH

 and 

LOW

 tone 

controls provide as much as 

12

 dB 

of boost or 

12

 dB of cut. These 

controls have no effect when the 

controls are set to their center 

detent (12 o'clock).

Combined response of the Mic tone controls

Program Sections

PGM 1

 inputs are sent to the left side of the crossfader. (with the 

Fader 1 Reverse switch 

out 

and LED 

off

)

PGM 2

 inputs are sent to the right side of the crossfader. 

(with the Fader 2 Reverse switch 

out 

and LED 

off

)

SOURCE

 switches select which inputs are assigned to each 

of the Programs. PGM 1 can switch between inputs 1 and 2. 

PGM 2 can switch between inputs 3 and 4.

GAIN 

controls adjust the signal level before it gets to the 

Faders. Set the Gain controls to indicate an average signal level 

of +4 on the meter with the program faders set to maximum. 

Don't use the Gain controls to set the output level...use the Main 

Level control to set the output level. This is a very simple thing, 

yet makes a huge difference in mixer performance.

EQ

 switches engage the 3-band tone controls. EQ switches 

may be used in conjunction with the High, Mid and Low con-

trols as “kill” switches by turning any or all of them Off. Set the 

rotary controls and flip the switch.
