The TRIM knob adjusts the sensitivity of both the Mic and Line inputs. Proper setting
of this control is essential for low-noise, distortion-free operation. In most cases,
microphones require from 30 to 60 dB of preamplification, while line sources need
much less or none at all. If the Channel PEAK LED flashes when the CHAN/MON
REVERSE switch is up and signal is present, lower the TRIM control.
• Mic input gain: +10 dB (minimum) to +60 dB (maximum)
• Line input gain : -10 dB cut to +40 dB gain.

CHAN/MON REVERSE

This switch selects the source of the Channel (which includes the Channel Fader, EQ,
INSERT jack and AUX 3/4) and the MON 1/2 system. In other words, where is the
signal coming from?
When this switch is UP:
•
•
When this switch is DOWN:
•
•
Example: If all the console's CHAN/MON REVERSE switches are down, all the main
Channel faders will be getting signal from their respective Tape Returns. This would
be a typical mixdown patch. By releasing the CHAN/MON REVERSE switch, the
Channel faders will get signal from the Mic/Line inputs, which is the typical patch
for recording & overdubbing.
