INPUTS STEREO 1/2
These inputs accept 3-pole ‘A’ gauge (TRS) jacks. Use these inputs for sources such as
keyboards, drum machines, synths, tape machines or processing units. The inputs are
BALANCED for low noise and top quality from professional equipment, but you can use
UNBALANCED sources by wiring up the jacks as shown in the “Wiring it Up” section
earlier in this manual, although you should then keep cable lengths as short as possible.
Mono sources may be used by plugging into the left jack only.

GAIN
The GAIN control sets the level of the channel signal.

HF EQ
Turn to the right to boost high (treble) frequencies, adding crispness to percussion from
drum machines, synths and electronic instruments. Turn to the left to cut these frequen-
cies, reducing hiss or excessive brilliance. Set the knob in the centre-detented position
when not required. The control has a shelving response giving 15dB of boost or cut at
12kHz.

LF EQ
Turn to the right to boost low (bass) frequencies, adding extra punch to synths, guitars
and drums. Turn to the left to reduce hum, boominess or improve a mushy sound. Set
the knob to the centre-detented position when not required. The control has a shelving
response giving 15dB of boost or cut at 60Hz.

AUX SENDS
These are used to set up a separate mixes for FOLDBACK, EFFECTS or recording, and the
combination of each Aux Send is mixed to the respective Aux Output at the rear of the
mixer. For Effects it is useful for the signal to fade up and down with the fader (this is
called POST-FADE), but for Foldback or Monitor feeds it is important for the send to be
independent of the fader (this is called PRE-FADE).
AUX SENDS 1 and 2 are both globally switchable between pre and post-fade (see mas-
ter section on page 21/22). The send pots are fed with a mono sum of the L & R signals.
5
BALANCE
This control sets the amount of the channel signal feeding the Left and Right MIX buses,
allowing you to balance the source in the stereo image. When the control is turned fully
right or left you feed only that side of the signal to the mix. Unity gain is provided by the
control in the centre-detented position.
6
MUTE
All outputs from the channel are enabled when the MUTE switch is released and muted
when the switch is down.
