GAIN
This control varies the input gain of the channel to provide a wider dynamic range. The
adjustment range is +10 dB to +58 dB for the XLR input and –10 dB to +38 dB for the line
input. Proper adjustment of input gain maximizes signal-to-noise ratio. Optimum gain setting
can be achieved by depressing the PFL switch (15) and adjusting the GAIN control until the
signal occasionally illuminates the 0 dB LED in the AFL/PFL display (45).
(5)
LOW CUT
This control adjusts the setting of the low-cut filter. Variable from no cut to cut below 300 Hz,
this feature reduces/eliminates extremely low frequencies that cause "low-end rumble," and is
a very effective tone shaping tool. It can also be used to reduce the "boominess" sometimes
encountered with male voices.
(6)
HI
This active tone control is a shelving-type that varies high-frequency response by +/-15 dB in
the range above 12 kHz.
(7)
MID
This active tone control is a bandpass (peak/notch) type that varies mid-frequency response
by +/-15 dB in a range from 200 Hz to 6 kHz.

CHANNEL STRIP CONTROLS
(1)
INSERT
This jack is a 1/4" Tip/Ring/Sleeve (TRS)
connection that allows a pre-EQ, pre-fader
signal to be taken from and returned to the
channel. Insert jacks are often used to route
an input signal to an external signal processor.
The RQ 4300's on-board compressors can
be patched to any channel with an INSERT.
(2)
LINE
This jack is a 1/4" balanced (TRS) high
impedance input for high level signals. The tip
is the positive input, which should also be
used for unbalanced inputs. This input is
connected through a 20 dB pad to the MIC
input (3). The two inputs cannot be used
simultaneously.
(3)
MIC
This jack is a balanced XLR (3-pin) low-
impedance connection intended for
microphones. Other low-impedance signals
such as instruments sent to the console via
direct boxes will also utilize these inputs.
