The SP LED glows when a signal is present. The feed point for the LED is post-insert, 
pre-EQ.

14 INPUT CHANNEL FADER 

This is used to control the level fed to the Mix Bus and post-fade sends.

15 MIX OUTPUTS (XLR)

The sub-group mix can be routed to the main mix, in mono or stereo.

18 MASTER FADERS 

These faders control the overall level of the mix and sub-group outputs.

19 MAIN METERS

(¼” Jacks)   

(headphones/in-ear/stage monitors), external FX or secondary PA/monitor system.

Fade Listen (AFL) switches route their respective aux output signal to the monitor/
headphones outputs.

27 AUX 2 POST/PRE SWITCH 

This switch globally changes the AUX 2 feed on all the input modules to be either 
post-fade or pre-fade.

28 STEREO INPUTS (¼” Jack) 

These two pairs of inputs can be used to connect line level stereo inputs from key-
boards, sound modules, samplers, computer based audio cards etc. These inputs 
pass through a stereo channel strip, with EQ, Auxes and a Balance control. Mono 
sources may be used by plugging into the left jack only.

31 Record Outputs (RCA Phono) 

You can connect these to the inputs of your recording device.
