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

to the left and right main mix buses. 

 

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

B. AUX A is either pre-fader or post-fader, depending on the 

position of  the PRE / POST switch. When the switch is in the 

raised position, the aux send is pre-fader. When the switch is 

depressed, the aux send is post-fader.  

 

What does all this mean? In POST mode the aux send is affected 

by the fader, EQ and HPF settings. In PRE mode the aux send is 

affected only by the EQ and HPF settings. POST mode is 

generally used for sending the signal to an external effects device 

(so that the fader controls the signal level), and PRE mode 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 always post-fader, as indicated by the word “POST” to 

the right of  this knob. 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  80 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—excluding those that 

are muted—are sent to the main mix. The MAIN MIX fader is the 

one you’ll use to control the overall level of  those combined 

signals. This fader affects the levels of  the signals sent to the
