2.1 Input level setting

Channel input level is determined by the Gain control
the left and right bargraph meters
right speakers.
For level-setting (as opposed to localized listening) select the mono PFL bus rather than the post-fader (post-
channel pan) stereo Solo bus (Channel Mode global switch
Solo/PFL never interrupts the mix at the main recording outputs. It follows that Aux Sends must also be
unaffected, since they contribute directly to the Main Mix.

overload. You do not want the overload light to come on except very intermittently during a take or a mix. If it
does light persistently, reduce input gain (see also Section 5: SETTING UP).
There is a steep Lo Cut (high pass) filter

2.2 Equalizer

All mono input channels are fitted with three-band EQ and the above mentioned switchable Lo Cut filter for
eliminating unwanted subsonics. All three bands have up to 15 dB of cut and boost, with a centre detent for
“off”.

2.3 Aux Sends

Both Aux Sends are mono and post-EQ. Aux Send 1
channel fader, i.e. pre or post by
For almost all FX send purposes, you will want Aux Sends to be post-fader, so that when a fader level is
adjusted, any reverb send from that channel follows the fader. Otherwise, when the fader is pulled down, the
reverb from that channel would still be audible. For cueing purposes, Aux Sends will usually be set pre-fader,
i.e. independent of the channel fader and mute.
Most reverbs etc. sum internally the left and right inputs. The very few that don’t may be driven in true stereo
by using 2 Aux Sends.
There is +15 dB of gain on every Aux Send. Such a high boost is usually only appropriate where the channel
fader is set around -15 dB or lower. Here, an almost exclusively “wet” signal will be heard. In most consoles,
such a wet mix requires the use of a pre-setting for the channel Aux Send, losing fader control. With the
EURORACK you can have a virtually wet mix with fader control.
