COMP Control
Adjusts the amount of compression applied to the channel.
As the knob is turned to the right the compression ratio
increases while the output gain is automatically adjusted
accordingly. The result is smoother, more even dynamics
because louder signals are attenuated while the overall level
is boosted.
Avoid setting the compression too high, as the the
higher average output level that results may lead to
feedback.

PEAK Indicator
The peak level of the post-EQ signal is detected, and the
PEAK indicator lights red when the level reaches 3 dB below
clipping. For XLR-equipped stereo input channels (3/4 and
5/6), both the post-EQ and post-mic-amp peak levels are
detected, and the indicator lights red if either of these levels
reaches 3 dB below clipping.
0
Equalizer (HIGH, MID, and LOW)
This three-band equalizer adjusts the channel’s high, mid,
and low frequency bands. CH 7/8 (CHs 7/8, 9/10) have two
bands: high and low. Setting the knob to the
t
position pro-
duces a flat response in the corresponding band. Turning the
knob to the right boosts the corresponding frequency band,
while turning to the left attenuates the band. The following
table shows the EQ type, frequency, and maximum cut/boost
for each of the three bands.
A
EFFECT (AUX) Control
Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the channel to the
EFFECT (AUX) bus. Note that the signal level sent to the
bus is also affected by the Level control
C
. On stereo chan-
nels (CHs 3/4 to 7/8 (CHs 3/4 to 9/10)) the signals from the L
(odd) and R (even) channels are mixed and then sent to the
EFFECT (AUX) bus.
B
PAN Control (CHs 1, 2)
PAN/BAL Control (CHs 3/4, 5/6)
BAL Control (CH 7/8 (CHs 7/8, 9/10)
The PAN control determines the stereo positioning of the
channel signal on the Stereo L and R buses.
The BAL control knob sets the balance between left and right
channels. Signals input to the L input (odd channel) go to the
Stereo L bus; signals input to the R input (even channel) go to
the Stereo R bus.
On channels where this knob provides both PAN and
BAL control (channels 3/4 and 5/6), the knob oper-
ates as a PAN control when input is received via the
MIC jack or L (MONO) input only, and as a BAL
control when input is received via both L and R
inputs.
C
Level Control
Adjusts the level of the channel signal. Use these knobs to
adjust the balance between the various channels.
Set the controls for unused channels all the way down
to minimize noise.

2TR IN Jacks
These RCA pin jacks can be used to input a stereo sound
source. Use these jacks when you want to connect a CD
player directly to the mixer.
Select where you want to send the signal using the
2TR IN switch, and adjust the signal level using the
2TR IN control in the Master Control section.
2
REC OUT (L, R) Jacks
These RCA pin jacks can be connected to an external
recorder such as an MD recorder in order to record the same
signal that is being output via the STEREO OUT jacks.
The mixer’s STEREO Master control has no affect on
the signal output via these jacks. Be sure to make
appropriate level adjustments at the recording device.
