CHANNEL CONTROL SECTION:
1. PEAK LED INDICATORS & TRIm CONTROL -
PEAK INDICATORS - These LED indicators will “light” when the input signal reaches 5db below the
channel’s clipping point. If the LED “lights” more then usual, you should use the TRIM CONTROL to
decrease the input level of the channel. If this does not work, reduce the output level of the connected
source.
TRIm CONTROL - This adjustment is used to adjust the audio source signal input gain for a channel.
The best S/N and dynamic range balance will be reached if you adjust the TRIM CONTROL so that the
PEAk INDICATORS “light” occasionally.

Turning the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of treble applied to a channel
signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of treble applied to a channel signal.
CHANNEL mID CONTROL - This knob is used to adjust the midrange levels of the channel. Turning
the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of midrange applied to a channel
signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of midrange applied to a

4. AUX CONTROLS - The AUX knobs control the signal level that the channel sends to AUX bus.
5. PRE/POST BUTTON - This button determines if the AUX signal is Pre Fader (signal level is not
affected by fader position) or Post Fader (signnal level is affected by the fader position).
6. EFX CONTROL - These knobs control the signal levels sent to the EFX bus. The channel signals
mixed by this bus have their overall level set by the MASTER EFX SEND control to the EFX jack located
on the front top panel.

Since the control is place after the channel fader, the signal level will be
affected by the channel fader’s setting.
NOTE: The Effect bus signal is also fed into the internal DSP (digital signal processor).
