Connect Microphones here. If you are using a condenser mic, ensure phantom
power is supplied by pressing the switch at the top of the master section.
WARNING: Do Not apply Phantom Power before connecting a microphone.
Connect Line level sources here, e.g. Synth, Drum Machine, DI etc.
Connect Signal processors here, e.g. Compressor, Gate etc.
Adjust this to increase or decrease the level of the incoming signal.
The high-pass filter reduces the level of bass frequencies only. Use this in live PA
situations to reduce stage rumble or 'popping' from mics.
Adjust these controls to change the signal tone (the character of the signal).
Adjust these controls to change the level of the signal to an artist's monitors (head-
phones/in-ear/stage monitors). Aux 1 send is pre-fade. Aux 2 is globally switchable
pre/post fade. Aux 3 send is post fade.
Use this control to position the signal within the stereo field.
When this is pressed you will hear no signal from the channel.
When pressed the signal will appear on the monitor and headphone outputs - use
this to monitor the post-EQ signal from the channel.
When this switch is up, the channel's post-pan-pot signal is routed to the Mix (left
