A
AUX, EFFECT Control
Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the channel to the
AUX and EFFECT buses. These knobs should generally be
set close to the "▼" position. These controls send either the
signal from immediately prior to the channel fader (pre-fader
signal) or the signal after the channel fader (post-fader sig-
nal) to the corresponding buses. The types of signals sent by
the AUX and EFFECT controls on each mixer model are as
follows:
• MG206C
AUX1: Pre-fader
AUX2, 3: Pre-fader/post-fader (determined by the AUX
PRE switch
AUX4: Post-fader
• MG166CX
AUX1: Pre-fader
AUX2: Pre-fader/post-fader (determined by the AUX
PRE switch
EFFECT: Post-fader
• MG166C
AUX1: Pre-fader
AUX2: Pre-fader/post-fader (determines by the AUX
PRE switch
AUX3: Post-fader
• To send the signal to the STEREO bus engage the
NOTE
ON switch (
• On stereo channels, the L (odd) and R (even) input
signals are mixed and sent to the AUX and
EFFECT buses.
B
AUX PRE Switch
Selects whether the pre-fader or the post-fader signal is fed
to the AUX buses. If the switch is on (
the pre-fader signal to the AUX buses, so that AUX outputs
are not affected by the channel fader
( ) the mixer sends the post-fader signal to the AUX
buses.
C
PAN Control
PAN/BAL Control
BAL Control
The PAN control determines the stereo positioning of the
channel signal on the GROUP 1/2 and GROUP 3/4 buses or
on the STEREO L/R bus. The BAL control knob sets the
balance between left and right channels. Signals input to the
L input (odd channel) go to the GROUP 1 or 3 buses or to
the STEREO L bus; signals input to the R input (even chan-
nel) go to the GROUP 2 or 4 buses or the STEREO R bus.
On channels where this knob provides both PAN and
NOTE
BAL control, the knob operates as a PAN control
when input is received via the MIC jack or L (MONO)
input only, and as a BAL control when input is
received via both L and R inputs.
