5 Gain

This knob sets how much of the source signal is sent to the rest of the mixer. Too

high, and the signal will distort as it overloads the channel. Too low, and the level

of any background hiss will be more noticeable and you may not be able to get

enough signal level to the output of the mixer.

Note that some sound equipment, particularly that intended for domestic use,

operates at a lower level (-10dBV) than professional equipment and will therefore

need a higher gain setting to give the same output level.

See “Initial Setup” on page 42 to learn how to set GAIN correctly.

6 Equaliser

The Equaliser (EQ) allows ne manipulation of the sound, particularly to improve

the sound in live PA applications where the original signal is often far from ideal

and where slight boosting or cutting of particular frequencies can really make a

difference to clarity. There are three sections giving the sort of control usually only

found on much larger mixers. The EQ knobs can have a dramatic effect, so use

them sparingly and listen carefully as you change any settings so that you get to

know how they affect the sound.

HF EQ

Turn to the right to boost high (treble) frequencies above 12kHz by up to 15dB, adding

crispness to cymbals, vocals and electronic instruments. Turn to the left to cut by

up to 15dB, reducing hiss or excessive sibilance which can occur with certain types

of microphone. Set the knob in the centre-detented position when not required.

MID EQ

There are two knobs which work together to form a SWEPT MID EQ. The lower knob

provides 15dB of boost and cut, just like the HF EQ knob, but the frequency at which

this occurs can be set by the upper knob over a range of 150Hz to 3.5kHz. This

allows some truly creative improvement of the signal in live situations, because this

mid band covers the range of most vocals. Listen carefully as you use these controls

together to nd how particular characteristics of a vocal signal can be enhanced

or reduced. Set the lower knob to the centre-detented position when not required.

LF EQ

Turn to the right to boost low (bass) frequencies below 80Hz by up to 15dB, adding

warmth to vocals or extra punch to synths, guitars and drums. Turn to the left to

cut low frequencies by up to 15dB for reducing hum, stage rumble or to improve

a mushy sound. Set the knob to the centre-detented position when not required.

7 Aux Sends

These are used to set up separate mixes for FOLDBACK, EFFECTS or recording,

and the combination of each Aux Send is mixed to the respective Aux Output. 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 SEND 1 is xed pre-fade, AUX 2 is globally switchable between pre and post-

fade (see master section on page 28. On the MPMi, Aux 3 is xed post-fader.

AUX 3 SEND (MPMi only) Aux 3 is xed post-fade.
