AUX MASTER 2–4 knobs and indicators
Use these to adjust the send master levels of the signals sent
to the AUX 2–4 buses.
Range: inf to 6 dB (default: 0 dB)
Use the mouse to click and drag the 2–4 knobs up or down
to adjust the send levels.
While dragging the mouse, the value being adjusted is
shown below and to the right of the 2–4 knobs.
The indicator lights blue at levels of 0 dB or less and yellow
at levels from 0 dB to 6 dB.
d
STEREO MASTER fader
Use to adjust the level of the output signal.
Use the mouse to click and drag the master fader up or
down to adjust the master level.
The value being being adjusted is shown in the master fader
level display area (

).
f
STEREO MASTER level meters
The master levels are shown by this stereo level meter.
The STEREO MASTER level meters appear green at levels of
-12 dB or less, yellow at levels from -12 dB to -6 dB and red at
levels above -6 dB.
Each level meter has an overload indicator at its top.
NOTE
The master level meters show the levels after being adjusted
by the fader (post fader). The level meters are affected by
fader adjustments and channels being muted.
g
STEREO MASTER fader level display area
This shows the level of the master fader as a numerical
decibel value.
EQUALIZER (4-band parametric EQ) display
area overview
Use this to increase or decrease the levels of specific frequency
ranges. This can be used, for example, to enhance the sound
of individual instruments, to adjust the balance of a wide
frequency range and to cut specific unwanted frequencies.
The equalizer has a high-shelf HIGH band, a low-shelf LOW band
and peaking (bell-shaped) HIGH MID and LOW MID bands.
1
EQ graph
The frequency response at the current settings is shown as
a graph.
The graph is shown even when the equalizer is off.
2
GAIN (HIGH/HIGH MID/LOW MID/LOW) knobs
Set the amount the levels are increased or decreased for the
HIGH, HIGH MID, LOW MID and LOW bands.
Range: ±12 dB (default: 0 dB)
3
FREQ (HIGH/HIGH MID/LOW MID/LOW) knobs
Set the cutoff frequencies of the HIGH, HIGH MID, LOW MID
and LOW bands.
Ranges
HIGH: 1.7 kHz – 18.0 kHz (default: 5 kHz)
HIGH MID: 32 Hz – 18.0 kHz (default: 1.2 kHz)
LOW MID: 32 Hz – 18.0 kHz (default: 300 Hz)
LOW: 32 Hz – 1.6 kHz (default: 80 Hz)
4
Q (HIGH MID/LOW MID) knobs
Set the acutenesses of the peaks of the HIGH MID and LOW
MID bands.
The higher the value the more acute it becomes, making it
affect a narrower frequency band. The lower the value, the
less acute it becomes, making it affect a broader frequency
band.
Ranges
HIGH MID: 0.25 – 16.00 (default: 1.00)
LOW MID: 0.25 – 16.00 (default: 1.00)
