ONLY
DUAL INPUTS A & B - The stereo input channel features a dual input on RCA Phonos (A) and
TRS jacks (B). This is ideal for fast switching between stereo sources without having to repatch
the console or mixing two stereo sources together.
GAIN A - Use this control to adjust the channel input sensitivity to match the connected source (-
20 to +10dBu) to the console operating level (0dBu) on the RCA Phono connectors. Press PFL to
check the signal reads an average of ‘0’ on the meters.
ON A - Selects stereo source A (RCA PHONOS)
GAIN B - Use this control to adjust the channel input sensitivity to match the connected source (-
20 to +10dBu) to the console operating level (0dBu) on the TRS Jack connectors. Press PFL to
check the signal reads an average of ‘0’ on the meters.
ON B - Selects stereo source B (TRS JACKS). Press both A and B to mix both sources together.
MONO - Combines the left and right outputs to mono the source. May also be used to input a
mono source to the stereo channel path.
EQUALISER - Shelving HF and LF and two fixed frequency peak/dip mid controls provide 15dB of
boost or cut. The mid frequency controls provide optimum control over boomy or boxy sounds and
to add bite or reduce harshness of keyboards, vocals, etc. Use the mids to add warmth or
presence to the sound.
EQ IN - Press to switch the EQ into the signal path.
AUXILIARY SENDS - You can set up to 6 separately balanced mixes using the aux send controls.
Up to +6dB of boost is available.
Aux 1-4 and Aux 5-6 can be used as either MONITOR SENDS to the performers or as EFFECTS
SENDS to external signal processing equipment. The output can be listened to using the aux
master AFL system. MONITOR SENDS are normally set pre-fader (PRE) and EFFECTS SENDS
normally post-fader (POST). When set to POST, the amount of channel signal in the monitor mix
is dependent on the channel fader level. Pre-fade aux sends are post-EQ, post-ON as standard
(can be reconfigured pre-EQ or pre-ON by setting internal links).
The Left and Right stereo signals are summed to provide aux feeds in mono. However internal link
options allow for pre or post aux sends as stereo pairs i.e. AUX 1 = left, AUX 2 = right, etc. Refer
to the options section in this user guide.
BAL - Balances the channel signal within the stereo image, L (odd groups) and R (even groups).
The centre position is detented for quick resetting.
ON - This turns the channel signal on or off. A LED indicates status.
PEAK - The red LED illuminates when the signal is within 5dB of clipping. Should this occur turn
back the GAIN control to reduce the signal level. This LED also half illuminates when a PFL
switch is pressed.
PFL - Press PFL to listen to the pre-fade signal (mono) on headphones or local monitor without
affecting the main outputs. The signal level is shown on the L and R bargraph meters.
Channel fader - 100mm smooth action fader controls the overall channel level. All post fade aux
send levels are dependent on the level of the channel fader.
