The [PAN] button is used to enter both of K-Mix's "Pan Modes" — here you can adjust the
stereo (left/right) panning settings for each of the eight input channels; it is also possible to
pan audio in surround sound.
The [PAN] button is different from other K-Mix mode buttons as it can be used to access two
separate modes, Stereo Panning Mode and Surround Panning Mode. Both of these panning
methods are accessed via the [PAN] button.
By default, pressing the [PAN] button on your K-Mix will enter Stereo Panning Mode. This mode allows you
to set each channel's left/right panning for each of the four output bus pairs (Main, Aux 1, Aux 2, Aux 3).
Surround Panning Mode must be manually enabled via the [SHIFT] + [PAN] button combination.
This section will focus exclusively on Stereo Panning Mode. Surround Panning Mode behaviors will be
documented in the next section, 4.2.14 – Pan (Surround).

EHAVIOR
When in Stereo Panning Mode, the faders continue to function as though they are in Mains Mode.
Faders 1–8 control the level of input channels 1–8 and the master fader controls the level of the main
output bus (outputs 1 & 2).
The process of muting and soloing channels remains the same as well.

EHAVIOR
The four rotaries are used to adjust the panning settings for the currently selected channel (or
channels). When a channel is selected, the rotary LEDs will immediately display the selected
channel's current pan settings.
By default, the rotaries are set to adjust the following parameters:
• Rotary 1 = Main Output Panning
• Rotary 2 = Aux 1 Panning
• Rotary 3 = Aux 2 Panning
• Rotary 4 = Aux 3 Panning
Rotaries act like traditional knobs; the minimum value is at 7 o'clock and the maximum value is at 5
o'clock. Setting the rotary to 12 o'clock is the center panning point; the audio will appear equally in
both output bus channels. Move the rotary clockwise to pan the audio more to the right; move the
rotary counterclockwise to pan the audio more to the left.
When panned to one of the extremes, audio will only be coming out of a single output channel. This
allows for sending audio to individual outputs channels.
