master fader 

g

. You would typically connect these

jacks to a power amp or powered speakers. 

T

PHONES Jack

Connector for headphones. This is a balanced stereo
phone-type output jack.

U

POWER Indicator

The indicator lights up when the POWER switch

S

, ST SUB OUT jacks 

R

, and SPEAK-

ERS jacks 

h

. Each band can be adjusted by ±12 dB.

The base frequencies for the bands are: 63, 125, 250,

GEQ ON Switch

This switch toggles the graphic equalizer on or off.
The switch is illuminated when on.

X

LIMITER Indicator

The lamp lights up when the amplified signal output at
the SPEAKERS jacks hits its maximum value. 

The lamp indicates that the limiter has come on. If
the lamps are flashing frequently, the load on the
amp is too high and there is risk of damage to your
equipment. Reduce the setting of the ST master fader

g

  or the AUX1 or AUX2 fader 

f

  until the lamps

flash only briefly or not at all.
