GLOBAL: OUT PRE/OUT POST PAGES
Two separate pages each provide a 10-band global graphic EQ, plus a master GAIN adjustment control for
OUT PRE and OUT POST. Use these to make global adjustments to the tone or level of ALL presets. This
is convenient when you need to compensate for a different backline, or if a particular performance space
seems overly bright or boomy. The master GAIN fader should be used with care as it impacts unity gain and
signal-to-noise ratio, and can cause clipping.
