26 Level indicators

By means of these indicators you can control the signal level fed to the Stereo bus. The 

"0" value corresponds to a normal output level. The indicator lights red when the signal 

level has reached or exceeded the maximum clipping level. From this level the sound 
signal can be distorted.

27 MAIN L/R Master Fader (Stereo overall signal control)

Here you can adjust the level of the supplied stereo signals to the MAIN OUTPUT (8) 

jacks.  This is the already-mixed signals from all channels.

28 CTRL-R/PHONES control

Here you can control the level of the supplied signals to the HEADPHONE (7) and 

CONTROL ROOM L and R (6) jacks.  It serves to adjust the listening volume for the 

headphones or studio loudspeaker.

29 AUX RETURN controls

Here you can set the levels of the mixed L/R signal that is directed from the (3) AUX 

RETURN (L (MONO) and R) jacks to the Stereo bus.

Note: If you feed in a pure Mono signal via the RETURN L (MONO) jack, the signal will 

be equally output on both channels of the Stereo bus (L and R).

30 TAPE control

Here you can adjust the levels of the signal that is directed from the TAPE IN (4) jacks 

on the Stereo bus.

Mixing the Sound Signals

Before you can mix the signals of the different sound sources, you must correctly set the 
levels of the individual input signals (channels). By doing this you will avoid overboost-
ing and sound distortion.

1.  Turn the LEVEL (22) control of the relevant channel to the middle position.

2.  Turn the TRIM (16) and AUX (19) controls anti-clockwise as far as you can and turn 

the HF, MF and LF of the Equalizer to the middle position. 

3.  Connect the desired sound source to a suitable input jack of the channel.

4.  Start playback on the sound source. If this is an instrument, play a song. Or say 

something if you have connected a microphone. It is important here that the play

-

back takes place with the same volume as you want to later use to mix.

5.  Turn the TRIM control (16) clockwise till the PEAK indicator (15) lights. Then turn 

the control gently anti-clockwise till the PEAK indicator (15) no longer lights continu

-

ously.

6.  Adjust the HF, MF and LF controls of the Equalizer (18) to set the desired sound 

characteristics for the bass, mid and high tones.

7.  After setting the sound characteristics it may be necessary to correct the levels us
