Controls and Functions
1. VOLUME – This knob controls the volume of
channel inputs and is used to continuously
adjust the loudness of the various signals
being blended together at the Main
Outputs. There is a detent at the 12 o'clock
position of the knob, which indicates unity
gain.
Moving the knob counterclockwise from the
12 o'clock position causes the signal to be
attenuated. Moving it clockwise from the
12 o'clock position causes the signal to be
boosted.
For best signal-to-noise ratio, all Volume controls for channels carrying signal
should generally be kept at or near the 12 o'clock position. Channels that are
unused should have their Volume controls kept fully counterclockwise at their
minimum level.
2. BALANCE – When the both inputs of a channel are connected, the left
input signal is automatically panned hard left and the right input signal is
automatically panned hard right. In this case, the Balance knob controls
the relative levels of the paired input signals. When the knob is placed at its
center detent position, both signals are at equal strength. When moved left of
center, left input signal remains at the same strength but the right input signal
is attenuated. When the knob is moved right of center, the left input signal
remains at the same strength but the right input signal is attenuated.
When only the left input is connected, the Balance knob functions as a
constant level Pan control, allowing you to continuously place the incoming
signal anywhere in the left-right stereo field.
3. MON (Monitor) Send – The MON send knob allows you to route the signal to the
MON outputs. The MON send is pre-fader so the signal is unaffected by the
position of the channel Volume control. These sends are usually used to create
a separate mix for a monitor system. When the MON send knob is at the 12
o'clock center detent position, the signal is routed with unity.
4. EFX (Effects) Send – The EFX send knob allows you to route the signal to
the EFX outputs. The EFX send is post-fader so the level of the signal is
determined by the position of the channel Volume control. These sends are
usually used to route signal to outboard effects devices. When the EFX send
knob is at the 12 o'clock center detent position, the signal is routed with
unity.
