A Tour of the MultiMix USB2.0
 
 16 
EQ 
 
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. 
 
 
 
Master Section 
 
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. 
 
Main Mix 
 
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. 
 
2TK To  Mix 
 
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.). 
 
2TK TO CTRL ROOM Switch 
 
When you engage this switch, the signal coming in from the 2-
TRACK jacks is routed to the headphones and to the control 
room output. The control room output level is controlled by the 
HDPH / CTRL RM level control. 
 
MIX TO CTRL ROOM Switch 
 
When you engage this switch, the MAIN MIX signal is routed to 
the headphones and to the control room output.  The control 
room output level is controlled by the HDPH / CTRL RM level 
control.
