5 AUX1 and AUX2 Controls
The AUX1 knob controls the signal level that the channel sends
to the AUX1 bus; the AUX2 knob controls the signal level to
the AUX2 bus. These knobs should generally be set close to the
position.
If you are using stereo channels, the signals from the L (odd)
and R (even) channels are mixed and sent to the AUX1 and
AUX2 buses.
These controls allow you to output the signal to the
NOTE
AUX buses regardless of the setting of the ST
switch
6 PRE Switch
Selects whether the pre-fader or the post-fader signal is fed to
the AUX2 bus. If you set the switch on (
the pre-fader signal—the signal prior to passage though chan-

nel fader —to the AUX2 bus, so that AUX2 output is not
affected by the fader. If you set the switch off (
sends the post-fader signal to the AUX2 bus.
Note that this switch applies to AUX2 only. The signal to the
AUX1 bus always passes through the channel fader first.
7 EFFECT Control
Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the channel to the
EFFECT bus. Note that the signal level will also vary accord-
ing to the setting of the channel fader.
If you are using stereo channels (CHs 9/10, 11/12, 13/14,
15/16), the signals from the L (odd) and R (even) channels are
mixed and then sent to the EFFECT bus.
8 PAN Control (CHs 1 to 8)
PAN/BAL Control (9/10 and 11/12)
BAL Control (13/14 and 15/16)
The PAN control determines the positioning of the channel's
signal on the Group 1-2/3-4 buses or on the Stereo L and R
buses.
The BAL control knob sets the balance between left and right
channels. Signals into to the L input (odd channel) feed to the
Group 1/3 bus or to the Stereo L bus; signals into the R input
(even channel) feed to the Group 2/4 bus or the Stereo R bus.
On channels where this knob provides both PAN
NOTE
and BAL controls (9/10 and 11/12), the knob oper-
ates as a PAN control if you are inputting through
the MIC jack or into the L (MONO) input only, and
operates as a BAL control if you are inputting into
both L and R inputs.
