MIC/LINE INPUT (CH.1-8)
is combination input jack can accept either a ¼” (balanced or unbalanced) input or a XLR
balanced, low-impedance connection. e tip is positive on the ¼” balanced input, and pin 2 is
positive on the XLR
PAD (CH. 1-6)
2
When engaged, the pad reduces the input signal by 25dB. If you notice distortion from a
particular channel or if the channel becomes loud very quickly, try engaging this switch. In addition to increasing the dynamic range, the channel can now accommodate a higher input level
before clipping occurs, which may be helpful when close-mic’ing a loud guitar amp or drum
kit, for example.
HIGH EQ
3
is High EQ shelving type of active tone control varies the treble frequencies (+/- 15 dB at
12kHz) and is designed to remove noise or add brilliance to the signal, depending on the quality of the source.
MID-MORPH EQ (CH. 1-7)
4
Where most mid-range controls work at just one frequency, the Mid-Morph works at two.
When turned counterclockwise, it cuts at 250Hz to reduce frequencies that muddy the sound.
When turned clockwise, it boosts at 4kHz to add intelligibility to vocals. Either way, improved
vocal or instrument denition can be achieved.

LOW EQ
A shelving type of EQ that varies the bass frequency levels (+/- 15dB at 80Hz). Low EQ adds
depth to thin-sounding signals or cleans up the muddy ones. As with any EQ, use sparingly.
Too much of this EQ can give you a booming bottom end.
MONITOR SEND
6
e monitor send adjusts the level of the channel signal added to the monitor send (16).
EFFECTS SEND (CH. 1-7)
7
is control adjusts the level of channel signal added to the eects mix. e signal is sent to the
internal eects processor. Turning the knob to the le (0) will turn o the eects on the associated channel, while turning the knob to the right will increase the amount of the selected eect.

CLIP
When this LED turns on or blinks red, it is an indication that the signal in the channel is
potentially too strong and could cause distortion. Turn down the Level control (10) until the
Clip light is no longer present. If you are having diculty getting a clean signal, try varying the
output of the connected device, if possible.
9
SIG
When this LED is green, it is an indication the mixer is receiving signal at the input of the channel. If you are having trouble getting sound out of the mixer and this LED is not on, check the
microphone, instrument or cable that is connected to the channel.

is switch allows the user to select the input signal being sent to channel 7. In the “up” position, the Mic-Line preamp is active. In the “down”
position, the RCA- 3.5mm media inputs are active.

RCA RECORD OUT
15
is pair of RCA jacks provides a signal to the recording inputs of a CD recorder, stereo tape deck or other recording device.
NOTE: Do not connect a single device to the Media Inputs (12) and Record Outputs (15). is improper setup forms a loop, which can cause
severe feedback.

MAIN OUT (TRS Balanced)
is ¼” jack provides a signal from the main mix (aer the graphic EQ) for an external power amplier. An external power amplier, such as
our IPR series of ampliers, can then drive additional speakers.

17
SUB/MONO OUT (TRS Balanced)
is ¼” jack provides a signal that passes all signals under 150Hz. is can be used to drive an external subwoofer amplier or a powered sub.
e level of signal tracks the main output.
