Channel Controls
The 10 vertical channel strips look very 
similar, with only a few differences between 
them. Each channel works independently, 
and controls the signals plugged into the 
inputs directly below it.
Mono Channels 1 to 6
•  Channels 1 to 6 are mono channels, 
and their controls affect both the mono 
mic input (5) and the mono line-level 
input (6).
•  The 3-band EQ (14-16) has shelving-high, 
shelving-low, and peaking-mid EQ.
•  The mono signals are split equally to the 
left and right of the main mix.
•  The gain switch (21) allows you to select 
between high gain for microphone level 
inputs, or low gain for line-level inputs or 
strong mic signals.
Stereo Channels 7 to 10
•  Channels 7 and 8 are stereo channels, 
and their controls affect both the mono 
mic input (5), and stereo line-level input 
(7). (The mono mic input of each stereo 
channel is split equally to left and right).
•  Channels 9 and 10 are stereo channels, 
and their controls affect both the mono 
mic input (5), and stereo RCA inputs 
(8). (The mono mic input of each stereo 
channel is split equally to left and right). 
•  The stereo channel EQ (14-16) is a 3-
band design just like the mono channel 
EQ.
•  The channel gain is fi xed.
“U” like Unity gain
The “U” symbol on almost every level 
control stands for “unity gain,” meaning no 
change in signal level. The labels on the 
controls are measured in decibels (dB), so 
you’ll know what you’re doing level-wise if 
you choose to change a control setting.
Signal Flow
The block diagram on page 26 shows the 
signal fl ow, but here is a short description of 
the fl ow through the channel strip section:
1.  The mic inputs and mono line inputs 
of mono channels 1 to 6, each feed a 
preamplifi er whose gain is set by the 
gain switch (21). The stereo channel 
inputs (mic, 1/4” and RCA) do not have 
a gain switch.
2.  The EQ section (14-16) is available 
to adjust the signal as required, with 
adjustments in the low, mid, and high 
frequency range.
3.  The mon control [17] taps the signal off 
just before the channel level controls, so 
the stage monitor level is not affected 
by changing the channel levels. (It is 
affected by channel EQ.)
4.  The channel level controls (20) allow 
you to adjust how much of each 
channel is added to the main mix.
5.  The FX control [18] taps the signal after 
the channel level, so any change in 
channel level will affect the signal 
reaching the internal effects processor.
