PL to the Output Channel Mix
.

BUS
key is pressed a third time, it exits.
PFL key
The
PFL
key routes one or more channels directly to the headphone bus in a pre-fader mode (think solo). When
the
PFL
key is active, the current headphone selection will be suspended. Pressing the
PFL
key activates and de-
activates the PFL function. Only the headphone use is effected by the PFL function. Multiple inputs can be
selected when using the PFL function by pressing each key in turn.
When the metering is changed (by pressing the
M
key, on the Mix-12’s keyboard or an attached keyboard) the
PFL
key’s illumination is inverted.
EQ key
The Deva/Fusion EQ is very powerful. It consists of five filters. A three band parametric and two notch filters are
available on each channel. The EQ is present in both pre- and post-fader and cannot be separated. When EQ is
changed, all audio on that channel is affected. However, adding EQ does not change the timing of the audio as it
passes through a channel, any delay remains constant.
NOTE:
Each channel has its own filter set. If a filter is not in use, leave the EQ for that channel disabled. That
saves processing power. It may be important if a number of the effects need to be “On” at the same time.
Pressing the
EQ
key, displays the
EQ
page for that channel on the recorder’s screen and illuminates the
CH
key
to further remind the operator which channel’s EQ is being modified.
