1 MIC Input jacks

These are balanced XLR-type microphone input jacks. (1:

Ground; 2: Hot; 3: Cold)

2 LINE Input Jacks (monaural channels)

These are balanced TRS phone-jack line inputs. (T: Hot; R:

Cold; S: Ground). You can connect either balanced or unbal-

anced phone plugs to these jacks.

3 LINE Input Jacks (stereo channels)

These are unbalanced phone-jack stereo line inputs.

4 LINE Input Jacks (stereo channels)

These are unbalanced stereo RCA pin jacks.

On channels that provide multiple input jack options

only one type of jack can be used at a time.

5 INSERT Jacks

These jacks can be used to insert an external signal-process-

ing device between the equalizer and fader of the corre-

sponding monaural input channel. The INSERT jacks are

ideal for connecting devices such as graphic equalizers,

compressors, or noise ﬁlters into the corresponding chan-

nels.

These are TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) phone jacks that

carry both the send and return signal (tip = send/out;

ring = return/in; sleeve = ground). Patching external

devices via an INSERT jack requires a special cable

such as illustrated below (insert cable sold sepa-

rately).

The signal output from the INSERT jacks is

reverse-phased. This should not be a problem

when connecting to an effect unit, but please be

aware of the possibility of phase conﬂict when

connecting to other types of device. A reversed-

phased signal may result in degraded sound

quality or even complete sound cancellation.

6 GAIN Control

Adjusts the input signal level. To get the best balance

between the S/N ratio and the dynamic range, adjust the gain

so that the PEAK indicator

9 lights only occasionally and

brieﬂy on the highest input transients. The -60 to -16 scale is

the MIC input adjustment range. The -34 to +10 scale is the

LINE input adjustment range.

7 Switch (High-Pass Filter)

This switch toggles the HPF on or off. To turn the HPF on,

press the switch in ( ). The HPF cuts frequencies below

80 Hz (the HPF does not apply to the line inputs of stereo

input channels

3, 4).

8 COMP Control

Adjusts the amount of compression applied to the channel.

As the knob is turned to the right the compression ratio

increases while the output gain is automatically adjusted

accordingly. The result is smoother, more even dynamics

because louder signals are attenuated while the overall level

is boosted.

Avoid setting the compression too high, as the higher

average output level that results may lead to feed-

back.

9 PEAK indicator

The peak level of the post-EQ signal is detected, and the

PEAK indicator lights red when the level reaches 3 dB

below clipping.

For XLR-equipped stereo input channels, both the post-EQ

and post-mic-amp peak levels are detected, and the indicator

lights red if either of these levels reaches 3 dB below clip-

ping.

0 Equalizer (HIGH, MID and LOW)

This three-band equalizer adjusts the channel’s high, mid,

and low frequency bands. Setting the knob to the “▼” posi-

tion produces a ﬂat response in the corresponding band.

Turning the knob to the right boosts the corresponding fre-

quency band, while turning to the left attenuates the band.

The monaural channels have MID frequency controls to

adjust the midrange frequency band.

The following table shows the EQ type, frequency, and max-

imum cut/boost for each of the three bands.

* The monaural channel MID frequency can be adjusted from

250 Hz to 5 kHz. The MID frequency is 2.5 kHz when the

MID frequency control is set at the center position.
