A
AUX, EFFECT Control
Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the channel to the
AUX and EFFECT buses. These knobs should generally be
set close to the “
▼
” position. These controls send either the
signal from immediately prior to the channel fader (pre-fader
signal) or the signal after the channel fader (post-fader sig-
nal) to the corresponding buses. The types of signals sent by
the AUX and EFFECT controls on each mixer model are as
follows:
• MG206C
AUX1:
Pre-fader
AUX2, 3: Pre-fader/post-fader (determined by the AUX
PRE switch
B
)
AUX4:
Post-fader
• MG166CX
AUX1:
Pre-fader
AUX2:
Pre-fader/post-fader (determined by the AUX
PRE switch
B
)
EFFECT: Post-fader
• MG166C
AUX1:
Pre-fader
AUX2:
Pre-fader/post-fader (determines by the AUX
PRE switch
B
)
AUX3:
Post-fader
• To send the signal to the STEREO bus engage the
ON switch (
).
• On stereo channels, the L (odd) and R (even) input
signals are mixed and sent to the AUX and
EFFECT buses.
B
AUX PRE Switch
Selects whether the pre-fader or the post-fader signal is fed
to the AUX buses. If the switch is on (
), the mixer sends
the pre-fader signal to the AUX buses, so that AUX outputs
are not affected by the channel fader
I
. If the switch is off
(
) the mixer sends the post-fader signal to the AUX
buses.
C
PAN Control
PAN/BAL Control
BAL Control
The PAN control determines the stereo positioning of the
channel signal on the GROUP 1/2 and GROUP 3/4 buses or
on the STEREO L/R bus. The BAL control knob sets the
balance between left and right channels. Signals input to the
L input (odd channel) go to the GROUP 1 or 3 buses or to
the STEREO L bus; signals input to the R input (even chan-
nel) go to the GROUP 2 or 4 buses or the STEREO R bus.
On channels where this knob provides both PAN and
BAL control, the knob operates as a PAN control
when input is received via the MIC jack or L (MONO)
input only, and as a BAL control when input is
received via both L and R inputs.
D
ON Switch
Turn this switch on to send the signal to the buses. The
switch lights orange when on.
E
PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) Switch
This switch lets you monitor the channel’s pre-fader signal.
Press the switch in (
) so that it lights to turn it on. When
the switch is on the channel pre-fader signal is output to the
PHONES and MONITOR OUT jacks for monitoring.
F
1-2 Switch
This switch assigns the channel’s signal to the GROUP 1/2
bus.
To send the signal to the GROUP 1/2 bus turn the
ON switch on (
).
G
3-4 Switch
This switch assigns the channel’s signal to the GROUP 3/4
bus.
To send the signal to the GROUP 3/4 bus turn the
ON switch on (
).
H
ST Switch
This switch assigns the channel’s signal to the STEREO L/R
bus.
To send the signal to the STEREO bus turn the ON
switch on (
).
I
Channel Fader
Adjusts the level of the channel signal. Use these faders to
adjust the balance between the various channels.
Set the fader sliders for unused channels all the way
down to minimize noise.
