Cables to Go 8 Manual De Usuario

 

 

 

The eight channel strips are virtually identical to each other, with 

the only difference being that channels 1 – 4 are mono and 

channels 5 – 8 are stereo. Each channel strip contains the following 

components. 

 

 

The level control knob controls how much of  the signal from the 

mic or line inputs is sent to the channel. To adjust the level, simply 

turn the knob to the desired level. In the leftmost position, levels 

are cut completely, and in the rightmost position you get an 

additional 10dB of  gain.  

 

 

This control—labeled PAN on the mono channels and BAL on 

the stereo channels—lets you assign the channel to a particular 

spot within the stereo spectrum. If  you turn this knob to the left, 

you can hear the signal move to the left, and if  you turn it to the 

right…you get the picture. The pan controls do this by adjusting 

the amount of  the signal being sent to the left main mix bus versus 

the right main mix bus. The balance controls do it by controlling 

the relative balance of  the left and right channel signals being sent 

to the left and right main mix buses. 

 

 

This indicator lets you know when the channel’s signal is clipping. 

This light plays an important role in setting channel levels by 

helping you know when to reduce the channel’s gain. 

 

 

Here you’ll find knobs that control the levels of  aux sends A and 

B. AUX A is pre-fader, which means that the AUX A send is 

affected only by the EQ and HPF settings. A pre-fader send is 

usually used for cue sends (for example, sending a signal to 

headphones while recording, for which you may not want the fader 

to alter the channel’s level).  

 

AUX B is post-fader, which means that the AUX B send is 

affected by the fader (or level control knob in this instance), EQ 

and HPF settings. A post-fader send is generally used for sending 

the signal to an external effects device (so that the fader controls 

the signal level). Like AUX A, AUX B can be used for routing 

signals to external devices. And when you are using the onboard 

effects processor, AUX B is used to control the level of  the 

channel’s signal being routed to the processor. 

 

 

 

The MultiMix gives you three bands of  EQ per channel. Using 

these knobs, you can tailor the channel’s signal by boosting some 

frequencies and cutting others. The LO and HI controls are 

shelving controls with fixed frequencies of  75 Hz and 12 kHz 

respectively. The MID control has a peaking response fixed at 2.5 

kHz. 

 

“Shelving” means that the mixer boosts or cuts all frequencies past 

the specified frequency. “Peaking” means that frequencies above 

and below the specified frequency fall off, forming a peak in a 

graphical representation. 

 

 

 

The Master Section is the heart of  the mixer, where the channel 

inputs and aux returns all are mixed together and routed in various 

ways. 

 

 

The signals from all channels and aux sends are sent to the main 

mix. The MAIN MIX level control is the one you’ll use to control 

the overall level of  those combined signals. This knob affects the 

levels of  the signals sent to the MAIN MIX OUT and the 2-

TRACK OUT. In its leftmost position the signal is cut off  

completely, and in the rightmost position you get an additional 

10dB of  gain. 

 

 

When you press this switch, the signal coming in through the 2-

TRACK IN gets routed to the MAIN MIX, joining whichever 

other signals are already part of  the main mix. Used this way, the 

2-TRACK IN effectively becomes another stereo channel (but 

without all the extras like pan, EQ, etc.). 

 

 

The HDPH / CTRL RM knob controls the level of  the signal 

being sent to the CTRL RM OUT and the PHONES output. The 

level of  this signal is represented by the LED meters. The “CTRL 

RM” in the name of  this knob refers to the fact that it controls the 

signal that typically is sent to the control room monitors of  a 

studio, where someone—usually an engineer—is working the 

mixer. However, don’t be intimidated if  you’re using this mixer in 

your bedroom, which probably isn’t equipped with a control room. 

In this scenario, you can use headphones or connect the CTRL 

RM OUT to your speakers.
