Mixer Controls

Mic Inputs

Two Microphone Inputs are independent, each with these controls:

• 

Level

 control.

• 

Pan

 the signal from Left to Right.

• 

High

 / 

Low

 2-band, full-cut tone controls. The range is Off to 

+6 dB, with unity gain at 12 o’clock.

• 

FlexFX

 Assign takes the signal out of the Main Mix and sends 

it to the FlexFX Loop.

• 

Mic On

 adds the Mic to the Main Mix as a program input. If 

Talkover is engaged on the other Mic, this Mic is ducked like 

any other program input.

• 

Talkover

 engages the Mic in the Main Mix and ducks all 

program inputs. If Talkover is engaged on the other Mic, this 

Mic is not ducked.

• 

Peak signal / rms meter

 displays the signal level with peak-

hold.

• 

Mic 1

 front panel connector is intended for a wired dynamic 

mic. A gooseneck mic is not recommended as it could damage 

the jack and not be covered under Rane’s Warranty.

• 

Mic 2

 allows selection of a Mic- or Line-level input via the 

rear panel switch. Line-level is usually for wireless mics.

•  Mic 1, Mic 2, or the Main Mix may be recorded via USB 

Record-6. Record source selection is made in the computer’s 

MP26 driver control panel.

Filter

 with Low-pass and High-pass:

  Flat response is in the center at 12 o'clock.

  Low-pass filter cut-off moves from 20 kHz toward 20 Hz as 

the knob is turned counter-clockwise.

  High-pass filter cut-off moves from 20 Hz toward 20 kHz 

as the knob is turned clockwise.

  The filter resonance can be switched high or low in the 

computer’s MP26 driver control panel.

• The 

A-B-Post

 switch assigns the channel to A-side, B-side, or 

Post-Crossfader.

• 

FlexFX

 assign takes the channel out of the Main Mix and 

sends it to the FlexFX Bus (post-fader).

• 

Cue

 select assigns the channel to the headphones (pre-fader).

•  Channel meter displays mono signal level with peak-hold.

•  A 60 mm long-throw program fader controls the level of the 

channel in the Main Mix.

•  PGM 1-4 post-fader, stereo program channels are streamed 

to the computer via USB record channels 1-4. These channels 

may be recorded for post production editing and mix-down.
