encoder toggle Function

The Input Encoder can be programmed to toggle any one of the input
functions with a single push (ie., without having to enter the Config
Menu screen). This can be very useful when, for example, experimenting with
microphone phasing.
To select a function for the Input Encoder toggle feature:
Enter the Config Menu screen
1
Scroll to the function required for the toggle feature
2
Press-and-hold the Input Encoder until the confirmation
3
message appears in the input display
The selected function will now toggle on/off each time the Input
Encoder is clicked*. If 'Type' (default) is selected, clicking the Input
Encoder will step through the available inputs.
*Selecting a function that is not available for the current input type will have no
effect, but the function will be stored and become active when an appropriate
input type is selected.

Line Inputs

Although analogue inputs [1-4/1-8/1-2] can be switched between
the Mic, Line and Instrument connectors, the remaining Line inputs
[5-8/9-16/3-16] are always available on the DB25 connector(s) on
the rear panel.
