Channel controls
 
 
Mono input channels
 
Here are the 20 {12, 8} mono input channels of 
the GF24/12 {GF16/12, GF12/12}. The input 
channel section processes the signal from the 
input jacks of the connector section, and sends 
the result to the GROUP buses, AUX buses, and 
the ST bus.
 
1
 
Pad switch
 
This attenuates the input signal by 26 dB. The 
pad is on when this switch is pressed in.
 
2
 
GAIN control
 
This adjusts the input sensitivity. The range of 
levels that can be accommodated is –16 dB to
–60 dB when the pad switch (
 
1
 
) is off, and 
+10 dB to –34 dB when the pad switch is on.
 
3
 
High pass filter switch
 
This is an on/off switch for the high pass filter 
that cuts the frequency range below 80 Hz at a 
slope of 12 dB/octave. The high pass filter is on 
when the switch is pressed in.
 
4
 
PEAK indicator
 
This is an indicator that detects post-EQ clipping. 
It will light 3 dB before clipping, indicating that 
the signal is near the clipping level. If this LED 
lights, lower the GAIN control (
 
2
 
).
 
5
 
EQ controls (HIGH/MID/LOW)
 
This is a three-band equalizer that boosts/cuts 
each frequency band over a 
 
±
 
15 dB range. The 
center frequency and equalizer type for each 
band is shown below.
The response is flat when the knob is in the “
 
 
” 
position.
 
6
 
AUX controls (1–6)
 
These knobs adjust the level at which the input 
channel signal is sent to the AUX buses 1–6. AUX 
controls 1 and 2 are fixed at pre-fader, and AUX 
controls 3–6 can be switched between pre/post 
fader using the PRE switch (
 
7
 
). When a knob is 
in the “
 
 
” position, the level is “nominal”.
