Toggling Phase Inversion
Phase inversion, also known as polarity reversal, can be used to prevent

The Phase setting toggles Phase Inversion on and off.

Stereo Track Linking
Used to link a pair of tracks when the input is a stereo source. Linking enables
control of the overall level of the pair using a single channel knob. If using a
stereo source, such as keyboard or drum machine, plug that instrument into a
neighboring pair of inputs such as 1-2, 3-4, etc. Link the tracks by setting the
pair’s first Channel Screen>Linking menu to 1-2, 3-4, etc. Linking allows you to
control the level of both channels with just the odd-numbered knob.
For example, the following procedure links tracks 1 and 2.
To link tracks 1-2:
1. Push Channel 1 knob to access that Channel screen.
