 PAN control
 
This rotary control has two functions: For recording it’s used in conjunction with the GROUP 
ASSIGN switches to assign the input channel signal to even and odd numbered groups. For mix-
down it’s used to pan (i.e., position) the signal in the stereo mix.

 GROUP ASSIGN switches
 
These switches are used to assign (i.e., send) the input channel signal to groups. They work in 
conjunction with the PAN control. For example, with GROUP ASSIGN switch [1–2] ON and 
the PAN control set midway, the channel signal is sent equally to Groups 1 and 2. With the PAN 
control turned fully counterclockwise (L/ODD), however, the channel signal is sent only to 
Group 1. Likewise, when it is set fully clockwise, the signal is sent only to Group 2. The same 
principle applies to GROUP ASSIGN switch [3–4].

 SIGNAL & PEAK indicators
 
The SIGNAL indicator shows when a signal is present in the input channel. It lights up when 
the signal is approximately 10 dB below the nominal level.
The PEAK indicator shows that a signal is about to clip. It lights up when the signal is 3 dB below 
the clip point. Adjust the GAIN control so that the PEAK indicator lights up momentarily at 
the loudest signals. For input channels 5–8 that do not have GAIN controls, adjust the output 
level of the source device.

 Fader
 
This fader has two functions: For recording it’s used to adjust the level of the input channel signal 
that’s recorded to a track. For mixdown it’s used to balance the input channel signal relative to 
the other input channel signals. For optimum performance, faders should be positioned about 
the 7–8 mark.
 
Stereo Inputs

 ST INPUT controls
 
These rotary controls are used to adjust the level of the Stereo 
input signals that are sent to the Stereo bus for mixing. They’re 
also used in conjunction with the GROUP ASSIGN switches to 
adjust the level of the Stereo input signals that are assigned to 
groups.

 GROUP ASSIGN switches
 
These switches are used to assign (i.e., send) the Stereo input sig-
nals to the groups. The left-channel signal is sent to odd Groups 
1 and 3. While the right-channel signal is sent to even Groups 2 
and 4. The Stereo input signals could be the stereo output signals 
from another mixer or external effects processor. Note that the 
Stereo input signals are always sent to the Stereo bus for mixing 
regardless of these switch settings.
