FRONT PANEL CONTROLS & CONNECTIONS

FRONT PANEL

Note: 1 through 6 below are referenced to Channel 1. The other 5
channels are identical.

(1) GAIN CONTROL

The Gain Control determines the proportion of the channel signal
in the mix,

(2) REVERB CONTROL

The Reverb Control adjusts the level of signal sent by each
channel to the internal Reverb DSP (Digital Sound Processor).
The signal sent is mono, post-High/Low and will be affected by the
channel Gain Control.

(3) HIGH CONTROL

Turn this control to the right to boost high frequencies on the
channel, adding crispness to percussion from drum machines,
cymbals and synths. Turn to the left to cut these frequencies,
reducing sibilance, hiss, or high frequency feedback. The control
has a shelving response giving 15dB of boost or cut at 12kHz.

(4) LOW CONTROL

Add warmth to vocals or extra punch to guitars, drums and synths
on the channel by turning this control to the right. Turn to the left
to reduce stage rumble, hum or to improve a mushy sound. The
control has a shelving response giving 15dB of bust or cut at
100Hz.

(5) LINE INPUT

The Line input is designed to accept balanced or unbalanced line-
level signals such as those from keyboards, drum machines, or
samplers. Use the GAIN control (1) to adjust for the desired level.
If a balanced signal is to be connected to the line input, then a
1/4" TRS (stereo) phone plug should be wired for: Tip = positive
(+), Ring = negative (-), Sleeve = ground.

(6) MIC INPUT

The Mic input is an electronically balanced XLR type designed to
accept signals from any balanced low impedance (Low Z)
microphone. It will be necessary to adjust the channel gain with
the input GAIN control (1) to achieve a nominal operating level.
The XLR jack is configured for: Pin1 = ground, Pin2 = positive (+),
Pin3 = negative (-).

(Note: Only either the Mic or the Line input of a given channel can
be connected at one time. Do not connect both simultaneously to
the same channel.)

(7) MASTER — VOLUME CONTROL

This controls the final level of the signal output.

(8) MASTER  — REVERB CONTROL

This controls the level of the reverb effects sound.
