Samson MDR6 User Manual

ENGLISH

The MDR6’s BALANCE control is used to place or position a mono input 
into the stereo main Left and Right MIX bus. For a stereo input, the bal-
ance control is used to center the sound between the Left and Right Mix 
bus. You can create a stereo image by panning some input signals to the 
left and others to the right.

The MDR6’s PAN control is used to place or position the mono signal into 
the stereo main Left and Right MIX bus. You can create a stereo image by 
panning some input signals to the left and others to the right. The MDR6’s 
PAN control is a Power-Pan circuit, which includes a 3dB dip in the center 
position.  This is desirable since there’s a 3dB increase in gain when the 
mono input signal is heard in both the Left and Right MIX bus. 

The RECORD switch is used when operating the MDR6’s HDM (HARD DISK 
MODE).  If HDM in the master section is not engaged, the RECORD switch 
LED will be off and pressing the RECORD switch will have no effect. This 
is the normal mode of operation for most live mixing situations, however 
since the HDM provides some extra flexibility in signal routing. The HDM 
can be used for zone mixing as well.  For more information on the HDM, 
see the section “Using the HDM” on page 14 of this manual. 

FADER 

The MDR6’s 60mm input FADER controls the overall channel level.  The 
input FADER features an audio taper and no detents for smooth fades.
