The corner GAIN frequency of 12kHz is around 3dB from the maximum cut or boost of the circuit. It has plenty of gain and actu- LINE ally gives slightly more that the +/-15dB legend suggests.

The AUX1 signal is sourced pre-fade which means that the level is inde- pendent of, and unaffected by the fader. Auxes 1 & 2 are pri- marily used for foldback monitoring purposes, as the fader does AUX2 not affect the level.
