3 Hookup
3.2 Channel Controls

3.2.1 Digital Returns

8. Low shelving EQ gain control. Sets the level of the low-
band center frequency (100 Hz) from -15 to +15 dB.
Power User Tip: A low shelving EQ is like a bass-control knob on a stereo. In
this mode, the Center Frequency control selects the shelving frequency.
9. Aux sends. These are the level controls for each channel to the
corresponding aux mix. The AR16c and AR12c provide two aux
mixes, and the AR8c provides one Aux mix. See Section 3.4 for more
information on using the aux bus to create a monitor mix.
10. FX send. This is the level control for each channel for the effects mix.
See Section 3.5 for more information on creating effects mixes.
11. Pan. This sets the channels position in the Main stereo mix.
Power User Tip: Panning can be a great way to achieve better separation
in your main mix. Using pan in conjunction with level will allow you to
create more definition and space between each channel's signal.
12. Mute button and indicator. This button mutes its channel in all outputs.
The LED to the left of it will illuminate red when the channel is muted.
13. PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) button. This button will solo its channel to
the Control Room and Headphone outputs, pre-fader. When no PFL
button is engaged, the Main mix is routed to these outputs.
Power User Tip: If you can't hear the main mix or a channel in your
headphones, make sure that PFL is not engaged on an unused channel.
14. Channel level. Controls the overall level of the channel.
The last stereo channel (15/16, 11/12, 5/6) provides a digital playback streaming
option. The Digital Return button routes playback streams 3 and 4 from your audio
software to this channel. When engaged, the analog source will be bypassed;
however, the signal will still be routed to the digital send so that it can be recorded or
processed by a plug-in. For more information, see your StudioLive ARc-series
Software Reference Manual in your My PreSonus account.
