Controls and Functions
(STEREO/DUAL-MONO INPUT CHANNEL CONTINUED)
CHANNEL EQUALIZER
The MDR16 Stereo/Dual-mono input channels feature a 2-band equalizer allowing you to adjust the high and low fre-
quencies independently on each channel. The channel's frequency response is flat when the knobs are in the "12:00"
position. Rotating the knob towards the right will boost the corresponding frequency band by 15dB, and rotating it
towards the left will cut the frequency by 15dB. The frequency centers, range of boost or cut, and equalizer type for each
band are as follows:
16 HF (HIGH FREQUENCY)
12kHz +/- 15dB shelving type. The channel's frequency response is flat when the
knobs are in the "12:00" position. Rotating the knob towards the right will boost the
corresponding frequency band by 15dB, and rotating it towards the left will cut the
frequency by 15dB.
17
LF (LOW FREQUENCY)
80Hz +/- 15dB shelving type. The channel's frequency response is flat when the
knobs are in the "12:00" position. Rotating the knob towards the right will boost the
corresponding frequency band by 15dB, and rotating it towards the left will cut the
frequency by 15dB.
18
AUX 1/2 Switch
When the AUX1/2 switch is in the up position, the LED is off and the AUX send for
the dual/mono channel will be assigned to AUX1. If you are using the AUX 1 for a
monitor mix in a live sound application, you will be able to add the channel to the
monitor mix when the switch is set to AUX1. When the AUX1/2 button is pressed
down the green LED will illuminate, indicating that the Aux send will now feed the
AUX 2 bus. If you are using the AUX2 bus to drive the internal, 24 BIT digital effects,
you will be able to add effects to the channel when it is set to AUX2.
19
AUX Control Knob
The Aux 1/2 control knob controls the amount of signal that is sent to the AUX 1 or 2
bus depending on the position of the AUX1/2 switch as described above.
20
PAN
The MDR16's PAN control is used to place or position the stereo signal into the main
Left and Right MIX bus. You can move a stereo signal's image to the left or right by
setting the PAN control to the left or to the right.
21
SOLO Switch
When engaged, the yellow LED illuminates indicating the input channel is assigned
to the SOLO bus. The SOLO switch activates a logic control switch. Pressing the
switch repeatedly will assign the input channel on or off the SOLO bus. You can use the SOLO LEVEL control to
adjust the overall volume to the SOLO Bus.
22
MUTE 3/4 OUTPUT ASSIGN Switch
The MUTE 3/4 switches are used to assign the channels to the 3/4 stereo bus. Any channels that have the 3/4
switch pressed in (the LED is on) will be heard in the 3/4 outputs. In recording applications, you can use 3/4
switches with left and right panning to assign a channel to either the 3 or 4 bus outputs for sending to an input of
a recorder. You can also mix the 3/4 bus with the LEFT and RIGHT mix bus by using the 3/4 to MIX switch, located
