HF EQ
Turn to the right to boost high (treble) frequencies above 12kHz by up to 15dB,
adding crispness to cymbals, vocals and electronic instruments. Turn to the left to
cut by up to 15dB, reducing hiss or excessive sibilance which can occur with certain
types of microphone. Set the knob in the centre-detented position when not
required.
MID EQ
Turn to the right to boost mid frequencies around 1kHz by up to 15dB This allows
some truly creative improvement of the signal in live situations, because this mid
band covers the range of most vocals. Set the knob to the centre-detented position
when not required.
LF EQ
Turn to the right to boost low (bass) frequencies below 80Hz by up to 15dB, adding
warmth to vocals or extra punch to synths, guitars and drums. Turn to the left to cut
low frequencies by up to 15dB for reducing hum, stage rumble or to improve a mushy
sound. Set the knob to the centre-detented position when not required.
5 HIGH-PASS FILTER
Pressing this switch activates the high-pass filter. This reduces the level of bass
frequencies only. Use this in live PA situations to reduce stage rumble or 'popping'
from mics.
6 AUX SEND (Notepad 102 and 124)
This is used to set up a separate mix for FOLDBACK or MONITORS and is mixed to the
respective Aux Output. The send is pre-fade, so the output level will be independent
of the CHANNEL LEVEL control setting.
6 FX SEND (Notepad 124FX)
This control sets the level of the post-fade signal being sent to the FX bus; from there
it is routed to the FX processor. The FX Send is post-fade.
7 PAN
This control sets the amount of the channel signal feeding the Left and Right MIX
buses, allowing you to move the source smoothly across the stereo image. When
the control is turned fully left or right you are able to route the signal at unity gain to
either left or right outputs individually.
8 INPUT CHANNEL LEVEL
This control allows precise balancing of the various source signals being mixed to the
Master Section. You get most control when the input GAIN is set up correctly, giving
full travel on the control.
9 PEAK LED
This LED will light when the signal level approaches clipping at either of two
monitored points: PRE-EQ and POST-EQ.
