ADERS

The K-Mix faders are where the most important part of mixing occurs

— level adjustment. Depending on the current mode K-Mix is in, the

faders are in charge of controlling output levels, input trim levels, aux

send levels, and reverb send levels.

Underneath faders 1–8 are 12 LEDs (6 green, 3 yellow, 3 red) that

provide visual feedback. These can represent either the current fader

position, or act as VU meters for audio passing through. The master

fader (fader 9) is equipped with two columns of 12 LEDs for accurate

representation of the stereo output levels.
