INSERT
O
PAD Button
The PAD button is used to lower an incoming
signal from the MIC or LIIVE IlVputs. PAD is
particularly useful when microphone signals are
very hot, the 200 Mixers will accept signals up
I
to +28 dBm when the PAD is used in conjunc-
tion with the TRIM control.
O T R I M
TRIM is a variable control that increases or
decreases the amount of signal coming from the
MIC and LINE INputs. I t should be used in
conjunction with the PAD button when a signal
is high.
O
EOualizer Controls
These controls adjust the timbre, bassiness or
brightness, of your input signals. As rotary
controls, they affect the various frequency
ranges by reducing (counterclockwise move-
ment) or increasing (clockwise movement) the
presence in their ranges. The 10 kHz control is a
shelving type that gives a 12 dB cut or boost a t
high frequency signals. The mid frequency
range is affected by two rotary controls that
make up a sweep-type EQ. One selects the
frequency t o be affected, from 250 Hz to 5 kHz,
and the other controls the amount of cut or
boost, 15 dB plus or minus. The low, or bass
frequencies are affected by a shelving-type
control with a center frequency of 100 Hz.
12 dB of cut or boost is possi ble.
O
Over Load Light
This light lets you know if the signal level in
the channel is too high when it leaves the equal-
izer. If the light stays on, you must reduce the
signal with the TRIM and PAD controls. If
these controls don't lower the signal sufficient-
ly, then you have boosted the signal too much
with the EQ controls. Lower the boost settings
of your EQ controls.
@
INSERT Jack
These are located on the back panel of the
mixer. They allow you t o place a signal pro-
cessar into the signal flow
a t this point in the
mix. This i s done using a single jack via the
TASCAIVI PW-2YlPW-4Y cables that access both
a
send and receive from the INSERT jack.

Q) Input Channel Faders
These linear, or slide, faders vary the amount
of signal that is passed on t o the PAN and Buss
Assignment switches. They also control the
amount of signal that reaches the EFFect
control.
@
PAN
This control is similar to a "balance" control
that is found on most home stereo receivers,
radios, or amplifiers. They affect the degree t o
which a signal will be present in the left (and
busses 1 and 3) and right (even busses 2 and 4)
of the mixers busses.
@Buss (Group) Assignment Switches
These switches turn the signal t o the PGM
busses off and on. In the down position they
are ready to receive signal from the PAN con-
trol. In the up position they are closed t o signals
from the PAN.
