MT8XII—Owner's Manual
1
GAIN control (input channels 1–4)
This rotary control adjusts the sensitivity of the MIC/LINE input so that both
microphone and line-level signals can be handled with ease.
2
EQ controls
These rotary controls are used to boost and cut the high, middle, and low fre-
quency bands independently. The High and Low EQs are fixed frequency shelv-
ing types. The Mid EQ is a sweepable type. A flat setting (i.e., no boost or cut)
can be set quickly using the controls' center detents.

AUX controls
These rotary controls are used to send the input channel signal to the AUX SEND
outputs for processing by external effects processors.
4
CUE PAN & LEVEL controls
These two controls are used to adjust the level and pan of the CUE signal. The
CUE signal source depends on the [FLIP] switch. With the [FLIP] switch set to
the up position, the signal source is the tape track (i.e., the signal being recorded
or played back). With the [FLIP] switch set to the down position, the signal source
is the MIC/LINE inputs. This setting is typically used during mixdown, when the
tape track signal is fed through the input channel. This allows you to connect
extra sound sources using the CUE controls.
5
FLIP switch
This switch is used to select the signal sources for the input channel and CUE con-
trols. With the [FLIP] switch in the up position, the MIC/LINE input signal is
fed to the input channel and the tape signal is fed to the CUE controls. With the
[FLIP] switch in the down position, however, this is reversed: the MIC/LINE
input signal is fed to the CUE controls and the tape signal is fed to the input
channel.
