1 GAIN Control
Adjusts the input signal level. To get the best balance
between the S/N ratio and the dynamic range, adjust the
level so that the PEAK indicator (2) comes on only at
about maximum input level.
The –60 to –16 scale indicates the MIC input adjustment
level. The –34 to +10 scale indicates the LINE input
adjustment level.
2 PEAK Indicator
Detects the peak level of the post-EQ signal, and lights
up red when the level reaches 3 dB below the clipping
level. For XLR-equipped stereo input channels (3/4 and
5/6), detects both post-EQ and post-mic-amp peak
levels, and lights red if either of these levels reaches 3
dB below the clipping level.
n When the level of an input signal exceeds the level that
can be handled by the mixer's head amp or equalizer,
distortion and noise will result. The PEAK indicators are
used to visually check the signal level to ensure no
overload occurs.

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. (But note that regardless of the switch
setting, the mixer does not apply this HPF to the line
inputs of stereo input channels.)

7 Channel LEVEL Control
This three-band equalizer adjusts the channel's high,
mid, and low frequency bands. Setting the knob to the
position produces a flat frequency response. Turning the
knob to the right boosts the corresponding frequency
band, while turning to the left attenuates the band. The
following table shows the EQ type, base frequency, and
maximum cut/boost for each of the three bands.
Band Type Base Frequency Maximum Cut/Boost
HIGH Shelving 10 kHz
MID Peaking 2.5 kHz
LOW Shelving 100 Hz
n The equalizer can be used to boost or cut specific
frequency bands, allowing the tone of the sound to be
shaped as required by the mix.
Use the AUX control to send the channel's signal to the
AUX1or AUX2 bus.
Turn the knob to the left of the " " mark to feed the signal
to the AUX1 bus, or to the right of the " " to feed to the
AUX2 bus. The volume of the feed increases as you
move the knob away from the " " position. If you set the
knob exactly to the " " position, the mixer will not send
the signal to either of the AUX buses.
Note that the signal to the AUX1 bus is a pre-fader signal,
and is not affected by the channel LEVEL controls. The
signal to the AUX2 bus is a post-fader signal, and will
always pass through the channel LEVEL controls before
moving to the bus.
If you are using stereo channels, the signals from the L
(odd)and R (even) channels are mixed and sent to the
AUX1 andAUX2 buses.
PAN/BAL Control (CHs 3/4 and 5/6)
BAL Control (CHs 7/8, 9/10)
The PAN control determines the positioning of the
channel's signal on the Stereo L and R buses.
The BAL control knob sets the balance between left and
right channels. Signals into the L input (odd channel)
feed to the Stereo L bus; signals into the R input (even
channel) feed to the Stereo R bus.
n On channels where this knob provides both PAN and
BAL controls: The knob operates 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.
Adjusts the output level of the signal being input to the
channel. Use these LEVEL Controls to adjust the volume
balance among the various channels.
n To reduce noise, set the LEVEL Control knobs for
unused channels all the way to the left (to the minimum
setting).
