I. e.: setting a channel VOL to "2" and the output to "10" is not the same as the other way
round. In the first case, the signal coming to the mixing amplifier - which has got its own noise - is low,
and so is the signal-to-noise ratio (low signal). When the output amplifier boosts the whole signal we will
get a very high background noise. In the second case - with the channel fader at maximum - the mixing
level is high, and so is the signal-to-noise ratio. When the signal reaches the VOL OUTPUT and is
boosted, it will keep a much better signal-to-noise ratio than in the preceding case.
6.8. Cleaning
The front panel should not be cleaned with dissolvent or abrasive substances because silk-
printing could be damaged. To clean it, use a soft cloth slightly wet with water and neutral liquid soap;
dry it with a clean cloth. Be careful that water never gets into the unit through the holes of the front
panel.
