FUNCTIONS
INPUT CHAN NEL CONTROL
1. PEAK LED IND ICATOR
This LED ind icator shows the level of the signal input of th e
channel. The peak indicator lights up when the input signal
reaches 5dB below the channel’s clipping point. This indicator
shows the level of the Post-EQ/ pre-fader signal. If the PEA K
indicator lights more than briefly on hig h-level transients, you
should use the T RIM control to decrease the input se nsitivity
of the channel. If this does not work, reduce the output leve l
of the connected source.
2. TRIM CONTROL
According to the level of the input s ignal, use this knob to
adjust the input to an appropriate level. The best balance of
S/N and dynamic range will be achieved if you adjust t he
TRIM control so that the peak indicator lights occasionall y.
This control adjusts the channel’s MIC input sensitivity
between -50dB and -6dB and the lin e input sensitivity
between -30dB and +14dB.

corresponding frequency band, while turning to the left cuts the band. The foll owing tables shows the EQ
type, base frequency, and maximum cut/boost for each of the 4 bands.
5. AUX CONTROL
AUX 1 CONTROL
This AUX1 knob controls the signal level that the channel se nds to the A UX1 bus.
If you are using stereo channels, the signals from the L and R channels are mixed and send to the AUX1
bus.
These controls are placed before the channel fader (pré- fader), what means that it’s level in not influenced
by the position of the channel fader. Pré- fader aux outputs are mainly used to control stage monitors
AUX 2 CONTROL
The AUX2 knob controls th e signal level that the channel sends to the AUX2 bus.
If you are using stereo channels, the sign als from the L an d R channels are mixed and send to the AUX1
bus.
The AUX 2 controls can be switched as pré fader or po st fader controls. Pré-fader aux outputs are not
influenced by the position of the channel fader and are mainly used to control stage monitors. Post-fader Aux
outputs are also influenced by the channel faders and are mainly used wit h effect modules.
6. PRE/POST SWITCH
This button determines whether the AUX2 signal will be used in Pre or Po st fader configuration. Pre means
not affected by the p osition of the channel fader. Post means is affected by the position of the channel fader.

SEND Control.
Since this control is placed after the cha nnel fader, the signal level will be affected by the chann el fader’s
setting.
8. PAN /BAL CONTROL
PAN (Mono Channel)
This control pans the channel signal across the master L and R busses, thus determining the perceived
position of the sound from that channel in t he output stereo sound field. If a PAN control is set all the way to
the left, for example, the sound from that channel will be heard from the left speaker system only.
If it is set all the wa y to the right, the sound will be heard from the right speaker system only.
Intermediate settings will cause the sound t o appear at corresponding locations in the stereo sou nd field.
BALANCE (Ster eo Channel)
This control adjusts the balance or the L /R position of the stereo input signal.
Turning the BALANCE control to the left moves the apparent source toward the MAIN MIX L bus, turning it to
the right moves the source toward the MAIN MIX R bus.

3. MAIN L/R OUTPUT.
Used to connect the master output (Main L/R) of the mixer to a power amplifier (or other equipment)
4. USB PORT
The built-in stereo U SB audio int erface allows you to connect your mixer to a PC for recording or playback.
Virtually any d igital recording software can be used.
The PC/Mac will detect your mixer as a sound card, so normally no drivers are needed. This means also you
will be able to use the stan dard audio interface controls in th e MAC or W indows operating system to make all
the settings.
Getting Started with Windows XP
The first time you plug the mixer into a USB port, W indows will install the universal dr ivers for that port. A
balloon tip will pop up, telling you it has found the USB Audio codec.
When the installation is ready, the message “Your new hardware is installed and r eady to use” will appear
Most of the time, you’ll want the output volume from the computer at it’s maximum position, but sometimes
the default setting is much lower, what mak es the output level t oo low. The volume can be increased in
several ways. T he simplest is to click the loudspeaker icon (figure 3) in the system tray and drag th e slider to
the top

Now, click on the Input tab and select U SB Audio Codec. You may notice that the Volume slider sets itself to
the highest level. This will allow you to use the level controls of the mixer at t heir full range.
Then click on the Output tab and select USB Audio Codec. You may notice that the V olume slider sets itself
to the full level. You may notice that the Volume slider sets itself to the highest leve l. This will allow you to
use the level MAIN controls of the mixer to set the exact output level.
Recording to the US B I/O
For recording a live performance, you can send the main output mix to a computer by using the USBI/O
connector. The output signal will only b e influenced by the individual cha nnel settings and channel faders,
not by the MAIN L/R master output fader.
You can also assign the outputs of the AUX1 and AUX2 to t he USB out, e nabling you to build a stereo mix
for recording that’s independent from the house sound system.
Press the USB S END switch down to send the AUX1 and AUX2 mix to the U SB input.
Playback from the US B I/O
For playback, the USB stereo signal goes directly via the T APE IN to the MA IN OUTPUT mix of the console.
You can set the US B playback level b y using the TAPE/USB volume knob.
