gain structure we do not recommend the practice of setting the faders to ‘0’ and mixing using the gain 

controls. 

9.1.5.  HPF 

 

Switch the channel high pass filter on. This attenuates frequencies below 100Hz by 12dB per octave. 

The filter is pre-insert, pre-EQ. Select the HPF to reduce low frequency noise such as microphone 

popping, stage noise and tape transport rumble.  

9.1.6.  EQ 

 

A responsive 4-band semi parametric EQ provides independent control of four frequency bands.  

 

HF and LF are shelving filters which affect high frequencies above 12 kHz, and low frequencies below 

80Hz respectively. HM and LM are bell shaped peak/dip filters which affect frequencies around a 

centre point which can be swept from 500Hz to 15 kHz and 35 Hz to 1 kHz respectively. These have a 

width (Q) of 1.8 which provides effective control for both creative and corrective equalization.  

 

9.1.7.  AUX Sends 

 

These rotary controls adjust how much channel signal is mixed to the aux outputs. Each of the 6 aux 

has its own control. The adjust from fully off to +6dB boost. Unity gain 0dB is marked at 3 o’clock 

position. Aux 1-4, 5-6 are switched pre/post. Pre-fade aux sends are not affected by the channel fader 

movements. These are typically used to feed stage monitors. In most cases users also prefer that the 

monitor sends are not affected by inserted processors or the channel EQ. Post-fade aux sends follow 

the channels faders and are typically used to send a proportion of the channel signal to an effects 

device such as a reverb or delay. Note that post-fade sends may be preferred when the console is 

configured in monitor mode so that the faders become ‘masters’ for all monitor mixes. Pr or post-fade 

sends may also be used for special applications such as recording, zone feed, clean feed and aux fed 

subs or centre speaker. 

9.1.8.  PRE 

 

When pressed, the pre-fade channel signal is sent to the associated aux. When it is released, the 

post-fade signal is sent. Aux 1 to 4 and 5, 6 are grouped for pre/post switching. Default setting is pre-

insert, pre EQ so that inserted compressors and EQ do not affect the sends when mixing monitors 

from FOH.  

9.1.9.  PAN 

Positions the channels signal between L/R in the stereo mix.
