This button can be disabled so that the selected input cannot be 
changed. The button operation and phantom power settings are part 
of the Configuration Options.

PGM Button

This button allows the output of the channel to be mixed onto the 
Program Bus output. The button illuminates green to indicate the 
channel is active on the Program Bus. This button can be disabled via 
the Configuration Options, so that it is permanently on or off.

REC Button

This button allows the output of the channel to be mixed onto the 
Record bus output. The button illuminates red to indicate the channel 
is active on the Record Bus. This button can be disabled via the 
Configuration Options, so that it is permanently on or off.

TRIM Control

This control allows the level of the audio on this channel to be 
adjusted by ±15dB. This additional gain is applied prior to the channels 
fader, and is useful for setting relative levels between audio sources on 
different channels. 

Note:

 It is a good idea to set up all the audio channels so that they are 

all at the same reference level when the fader is fully up, meaning the 
mix levels are determined solely by the position of the faders.

PAN/BAL Control

This control has two functions depending on whether MIC or LINE is 
selected.

In MIC mode the control acts as PAN and allows the mono input to be positioned in the 
stereo image. With the control in the centre position, the signal is present on both the left 
and right channels. Turning the control fully anti-clockwise pans the signal to the left by 
increasing the level by 3dB and the signal on the right channel is turned off. Turning the 
control fully clockwise pans the signal to the right by increasing the level by 3dB. The signal 
on the left channel is turned off. 

In LINE mode the control acts as BAL (balance) and is used to alter the stereo image of the 
stereo input. With the control in the centre position, the signal is un-altered. Turning the 
control fully anti-clockwise shifts the signal to the left by increasing the gain by 6dB and 
the signal on the right channel is reduced by 6dB. Turning the control fully clockwise shifts 
the signal to the right by increasing the gain by 6dB while the signal on the left channel is 
reduced by 6dB.

CUE PFL Button

Selecting CUE PFL routes the pre-fader input signal to the monitoring section where the 
signal can be heard on the Monitor, Presenter or Guest headphones (provided that the 
associated AUTO CUE/PFL button is selected). The level can then be checked on the meters
