The front panel includes all operational controls, metering for all channels and two input sockets for
mic, line or instruments.
1. INPUTS 1 & 2 – 2 x “Combo XLR” input sockets for Channels 1 and 2 - connect microphones
or line level signals via XLR or ¼” jacks: either TRS (balanced) or TS (unbalanced) jack plugs
can be used for instruments or line level signals. Note that the inputs for Channels 3 to 8 are
on the rear panel [15].
2. INST 1 & INST 2 – two latching switches put Inputs 1 and 2 into “Instrument” mode. When
INST is selected, the gain range and input impedance are altered (relative to LINE), and the
input is made unbalanced. This optimises it for the direct connection of instruments via a
2-pole (TS) jack plug. When INST is off, the inputs are suitable for the connection of line level
signals. Line level signals may be connected either in balanced form via a 3-pole (TRS) jack or
unbalanced, via a 2-pole (TS) jack. Each switch has an internal red LED to confirm selection.
3. 48V (1-4 & 5-8) – two latching switches, each enabling 48 V phantom power at the XLR
contacts of four inputs: Channels 1 to 4 and 5 to 8 respectively. Each switch has an associated
red LED indicating that phantom power is selected.
4. Input gain controls 1 to 8 – eight rotary controls: adjust the input gain for the signals in
Channels 1 to 8 respectively.
5. O/L – each input channel has a red “overload” LED; this illuminates when the signal level
r19.5 dBu. Always adjust signal level so that the LED does not illuminate: this will
avoid clipping.
6. INSERT/AIR –one “soft” switch per channel, which enables either the rear panel insert point
for the channel, or the channel’s AIR function, depending on the setting of the INSERT and AIR
master switches [8]. Each switch has an associated bicolour LED, which illuminates green
when INSERT is selected or yellow when AIR is selected.
