1. -26dB PAD
Reduces MONO MIC input level at both the jack and XLR
1
sockets by 26dB. This is useful for ensuring that high output
sources do not distort the inputs.

2. GAIN
MONO MIC gain is continuously variable from +16dB to
+60dB(-10dB to +34dB with the pad enabled). The actual
3
value of the gain required will depend upon the source and
should ideally be set such that peaks in level on the input
should not cause the input amplifier to overload.
You need to watch level indicator placed near FADER, flashing
"PEAK" lamp is too high, occasional peaks of "+12" is better.
3. HPF
4
The 12dB/oct High-Pass Filter is a useful tool in combating
undesirable low frequency content, such as microphone
handling noise or overzealous bass players. The cut-off
frequency is 63Hz.
4. LINE GAIN
Controls stereo line input gain from -10dB to +20dB.
5. EQUALIZER
Here is a four-band traditional Baxandall based equalizer. LF
and HF filters have a shelving response at 80Hz and 12kHz
respectively. High Mid and Low Mid bands have a bell
5
response centered around 3.15kHz and 315Hz respectively.
The IN switch inserts all four bands into the signal path, which
is useful when checking the effectiveness of your EQ settings.
