PEAK & MUTE LED
Lights when signal reaches peak level or shows that the channel is muted
The Peak LED is a warning light to let you know when the signal is nearing maximum headroom. The peak
detection source is taken from a number of key points in the signal path (see section 4.1) where gain is used: After
the High Pass Filter, post EQ, and post Fade. If a signal is amplified past the limits of the console's headroom, then
'clipping' (noise) will occur.
PFL
Route the signal to the Solo bus and mute any channels not routed to the Solo bus
With a PFL enabled, the headphone output will switch to the Solo Bus. Please see section 6 for more detail.
FADER
Adjust signal level
The Fader adjusts level between -infinity (no signal) to +10dB. The 0dB line indicates unity (no level change).
Faders are the primary mixing tools during performance; the relative levels of the input channel faders across the
console determine the Master Stereo (MST) and Group (GRP) mixes, as well as providing the source for post-fade
Aux mixes.
GRP 1-2 / 3-4
Route the channel output to Group busses
The channel's PAN control determines the proportion of the signal across group pairs.
MST
Route the channel output to the Master left/right bus
The Pan/Balance controls proportion the signal to the left and right Master bus channels.
