Page 15: Mono Input Channel
MONO INPUT CHANNEL Mic Input Socket Standard 3-Pin XLR socket wired as Pin 1=Chassis, Pin 2=hot (+), Pin 3=Cold (-). Line Input Jack Socket Standard 1/4” (6.25mm) Jack socket for balanced or unbalanced line level signals. Wired Tip=Hot(+), Ring=cold (-), Sleeve=Chassis. The Line input overrides the Mic input, so if you want to hear something plugged in to the xlr socket, make sure nothing is plugged into the Line input. - Page 16 MONO INPUT CHANNEL HF EQ 20 30 The HF (High Frequency) equaliser affects the frequency response GAIN of the higher audible frequencies. The corner frequency of 12kHz is around 3dB from the maximum cut or boost of the circuit. It has plenty of gain and actually gives slightly more that the +/-15dB leg- end suggests.

Auxes 1 & 2 are primarily used for foldback monitoring purposes, as the fader does not affect the level. -
