22. Low Cut Filter (75 Hz)
This button, located on all
channels, will activate a high-
pass filter that reduces all fre-
quencies below 75 Hz at 18 dB
per Octave, helping to remove
any unwanted ground noise or
stage rumble.
23. High Frequency Control
This control is used to give a
shelving boost or cut of ±15
dB to high frequency (12 kHz)
sounds. This will adjust the
amount of treble included in
the audio of the channel, add-
ing strength and crispness to
sounds such as guitars, cym-
bals, and synthesizers.
24. Middle Frequency Control
This control is used to pro-
vide a peaking style of boost
and cut to the level of middle
frequency sounds at a range
of ±15 dB. The Sonic Station
mixer also provides a sweep
control, allowing you to select
a center frequency between
100 Hz and 8 kHz. Changing
middle frequencies of an audio feed can be rather difficult
when used in a professional audio mix, as it is usually more
desirable to cut middle frequency sounds rather than boost
them, soothing overly harsh vocal and instrument sounds in
the audio.
Stereo channels (19/20 and 21/22 on the Sonic Station 22;
29/30 and 31/32 on the Sonic Station 32) differ slightly, in
that they feature a single control for adjusting Middle Fre-
quencies only, with a set frequency of 2.5 kHz.
25. Low Frequency Control
This control is used to give a shelving boost or cut of ±15 dB
to low frequency (80 Hz) sounds. This will adjust the amount
of bass included in the audio of the channel, and bring more
warmth and punch to drums and bass guitars.
26. AUX Controls
These four AUX controls alters the signal level that is being
sent to the auxiliary 1 to 4 mixing buses, the signal of which
is suitable for connecting stage monitors, allowing artists to
listen to the music that is being played, or to fed to an exter-
nal effect processors. AUX 1/2 and AUX 3/4 each feature a
Pre/Post button, which alternates the feed to the AUX mixing
bus between a post and pre-fader feed.
27. EFX 1 and 2 / AUX 5 and 6 Controls
These two controls act as EFX send for the two internal ef-
fect processors. They allow users to adjust the post fader
signal of the corresponding input channel to be sent to the
EFX 1 and 2 mixing buses. The signal is also sent to the
AUX 5 and 6 mixing buses, allowing the signal to be output
via the AUX 5 and 6 Sends.
SONIC STATION 22 / SONIC STATION 32
28. Pan/Balance Controls
This alternates the degree or level of audio that the left and
right side of the main mix should receive. On mono chan-
nels, the PAN control will adjust the level that the left and
right should receive (pan), where as on a stereo channel,
adjusting the BAL control will attenuate the left or right audio
signals accordingly (balance).
29. On Button and Indicator
This turns the correspond-
ing channel on, allowing the
user to use the feed from the
channel's inputs to supply the
MAIN L/R, MONO, GROUP
1/2, GROUP 3/4, AUX and
EFX buses (as specified by
the user, of course). The in-
dicator beneath this button
will be illuminated when the
channel is active.
30. Sig Indicator
This LED indicator shows
when the input level (post
EQ) reaches -20 dBu, basi-
cally showing when a signal
is received by the corre-
sponding channel.
31. 1-2, 3-4, Mono and L-R Buttons
These handy buttons allow you to decide the audio path of
the corresponding channel. Pushing the "1/2" or "3/4" buttons
allows the signal to be sent to the Group 1/2 or 3/4 mixes
respectively, where the "mono" or "L-R" allow it to be sent to
the Mono or Main L/R mixes.
32. Peak Indicator
This LED indicator will illuminate when the channel hits high
peaks, 6 dB before overload occurs. It is best to adjust the
channel level control so as to allow the PEAK indicator to
light up on regular intervals only. This will ensure a greater
dynamic range of audio. This indicator also doubles as a
Solo indicator, when the SOLO button is engaged.
33. Solo Button and Peak Indicator
The Solo button is pushed to allow the signal of the corre-
sponding channel to be sent to the Control Room / Phones
mixing bus (pre or post fader, depending on the properties
selected by the pre / post button, located below the solo level
control), for use with either headphones or studio monitors.
This button also allows for easier isolation of individual chan-
nel signals, ensuring setting of the input gain or tracking of
audio by sound engineers is made simpler. The indicator
above the Solo button illuminates whenever the Solo but-
ton is activated, however also doubles as a Peak Indicator,
illuminating when the signal reaches high peaks.
34. Channel Level Control (Fader)
This 60 mm fader will alter the signal level that is sent from
the corresponding channel to the appropriate destinations,
as decided by the 1-2, 3-4, Mono and L-R buttons.
