FRONT PANEL FEATURES

INPUT UP/DOWN BUTTONS
Use these buttons to adjust the mix level for each
input channel.
INPUT LED DISPLAY
This indicates the signal level after the mic preamp
stage, just after the A/D converter, but prior to any
digital signal processing. When any input UP/
DOWN button is pressed, all the meters (except
EQ) switch from level metering to level setting
indication. After five seconds, the meters switch
back to normal peak program metering (PPM).
When the 10 and 7 LEDs are both lit, the gain is set
to unity (0 dB).
EQ LO/HI UP/DOWN BUTTONS
Use these buttons to adjust the gain of the 2-band
shelving EQ on the outputs. The range is ± 15 dB.

EQ LED DISPLAY
When an EQ UP/DOWN button is pressed, the EQ
meter indicates the amount of boost or cut of the
LO and HI frequencies in decibels (± 15 dB).
When both "0" LEDs are lit, the gain is set to unity
(flat response).
Note: The EQ meters do not indicate signal level.
MASTER A/B UP/DOWN BUTTONS
These buttons adjust the output level for each
output bus.
MASTER OUTPUT LED DISPLAY
This indicates the signal level after the digital signal
processing and MASTER gain stage, just prior to
the D/A converter. When any MASTER UP/DOWN
button is pressed, all the meters (except EQ) switch
from level metering to level setting indication. After
five seconds, the meters switch back to normal
peak program metering (PPM).
