Turn to the right to boost high (treble) frequencies,

adding crispness to percussion from drum machines,

synths and electronic instruments. Turn to the left to cut

these frequencies, reducing hiss or excessive

brilliance. Set the knob in the centre-detented position

when not required.

See page 13

Most professional equipment uses input and output

levels of +4dBu, but semi-professional tape machines

use a low level of -10dBV (or hi-fi systems 100mV).

This switch allows you to match the stereo input to

either standard. Release the switch for +4dBu, or

press for -10dBV.

See page 13

This is similar to the Aux Send 1 control, but is

always POST-FADE.

Turn to the right to boost low (bass) frequencies, adding extra

punch to synths, guitars and drums.

Turn to the left to reduce hum, boominess or improve a mushy

sound. Set the knob to the centre-detented position when not

required.

See page 13

Accept 3-pole `A' gauge (TRS) jacks. Use

these inputs for sources such as

keyboards, drum machines, synths, tape

machines or as returns from processing

units. The inputs are BALANCED for low

noise and immunity from interference, but

you can use UNBALANCED sources by

wiring up the jacks as shown later in this

guide, although you should then keep

cable lengths as short as possible.
