Connections
The EPA900 mixer is equipped with 4 mono and 2 stereo inputs and an additional
AUX input. The input signals are internally distributed to a stereo bus. It is also
possible to use its channels separately (mono), such as when used for FOH/PA and
stage. Depending on the requirements, one stereo or two independent mono
sounds can be run. An internal effect can be used as an AUX effect from each
channel. The 7-band graphic equalizer is used to process the stereo bus or the
two mono paths.
