mixer (see “Inputs and assignments” on page 29 and
“Sub mixer” on page 35).
To assign effects to an input (see “Assigning mic
effects” on page 39 and “Assigning the multi-effect” on
page 41).
To link inputs next to each other (see “Linking chan-
nels” on page 33).
4
OL indicators
These provide warnings about overloaded input levels.
If a channel's OL indicator turns red, turn its
TRIM
knob counterclockwise to reduce the channel's gain.
