The PAN control determines the position of channel signal within the stereo image. This control features a
constant-power characteristic, which means the signal is always maintained at a constant level, irrespective
of position in the stereo panorama.
PAN
The LEVEL control determines the level of the channel signal in the main mix
LEVEL
The CLIP LED”s of the mono channels illuminate when the input signal is driven too high, which could
cause distortion. If this happens, use the TRIM control to reduce the preamp level until the LED does not
light anymore.

As the name suggests, the FX sends of the MX mixing consoles are intended to drive effects devices (reverb,
delay, etc.) and are therefore configured post-fader. This means that the mix between dry signal and effect
remains at the level determined by the channel’s aux send, irrespective of the level fader setting. If this were
not the case, the effects signal of the channel would remain audible even when the fader is lowered to zero.
With ME mixing consoles the channel fader is called LEVEL control.
In the MX-6-FX / MX-8-FX / MX-6-FXU / MX-8-FXU, the FX send is routed directly to the built-in effects processor.
To
make sure that the effects processor receives an input signal, you should not turn this control all the way to
the left (-
∞
).
Attention: Since the FX path for the effect processor is connected post-fader, the LEVEL
control has to be turned up in order to get this channels signal to the effects processor!
