5. Equalizer
The EQ allows fine manipulation of the sound. This is useful in live
applications where the original signal is often far from ideal. Slight boosting
or cutting of particular voice frequencies can really make a difference.
There are three sections giving the sort of control usually only found on
much larger mixers. The EQ controls can have a dramatic effect, so use
them sparingly.
HF: Turn to the right to boost high (treble) frequencies above 12kHz
(Cymbals, vocals, electronic instruments) by up to 15dB. Turn to the left to
out by up to 15dB. Set the control in middle position when not required.
MID: There are two controls which work together to form a swept MID EQ.
The lower control provides 15dB of boost and cut, just like the HF EQ
control, but the frequency at which this occurs can be set by the upper
control over a range of 140Hz to 3kHz. This allows some truly creative
improvement of the signal in live situations, because this mid band covers
the range of most vocals. Set the control in middle position when not
required.
LF: Turn to the right to boost low (bass) frequencies below 60Hz by up to
15dB. Turn to the left to cut low frequencies by up to 15dB. Set the control
in middle position when not required.
6.AUX Sends
These are used to set up separate mixes for monitor mixes, effects or
recording. The combination of each AUX Send is mixed to the respective
AUX output.
7. PAN
This control sets the volume distribution to the R and L channels
.
If the
controller is set to the middle position, both sides get the same signal
component. By turning clockwise, the signal component of R is increased,
counterclockwise for L.
8.Mute
This button deactivates the respective channel.
9.Peak
This LED lights, when the signal is “clipping”.
