You can create a stereo image by panning some input signals to the left and others to the right. - Page 9 STEREO INPUT CHANNEL SECTION The XM910 features two stereo input strips, which include channels 7/8 and 9/10. While these channels look very much like the mono channels, they have two inputs so they can accept a stereo signal. The AUX send and Equalizer are laid out on the same as the mono inputs on the control panel, but internally, they are con- trolling a stereo signal path.

For example, when you are using the XM910 mostly for vocals, you may not want to pick up the low end generated by other live instru- ments like bass and low-end synthesizers played out of back-line amplifiers on stage. In many live sound applications, the LOW CUT filter is especially useful for removing stage rumble. - Page 14 DJ MIXER SECTION Offering extreme flexibility for today’s working musicians, the XM910 incorporates an on-board, two channel stereo DJ mixer.
