STEREO INPUT CHANNEL 
8 
Auxes 1 & 2 
Auxes  1  &  2  send  a  mono  sum  of  the  stereo  channel  left  &  right  signals 
sourced from pre-fader. 
Auxes 3 & 4 
Again, a mono sum of the stereo channel left & right signals, the source be-
ing switchable pre or post fader. 
Auxes 5 & 6 
Auxes 5 & 6 take their source from a mono sum of the stereo channel left & 
right signals after the fader.

PFL Switch 
The PFL (Pre-Fade Listen) switch sends a mono sum of the stereo channel 
channel signal to the PFL bus. 
Routing Switches 
The routing switches connect the post-fade signal to the mix buses via the 
balance control for L_R and  the groups. For  minimum noise from the mix 
bus summing amplifier, leave the switches in their up positions if the channel 
signal is not required on the bus. 
Signal & PK! LED 
The Signal LED illuminates  dimly at a threshold of –16dB  on either left or 
right channels and gets brighter with higher level signal. The source for the 
signal & peak LED’s is just after the EQ IN switch. 
The  PK!  LED  illuminates  when  the  signal  just  after  the  EQ  IN  switch  is 
within 5dB of clipping. 
Fader 
The 100mm fader affects the level of the channel signal to the left & right, 
mono and  group buses and  Auxes 5 & 6. Also  Auxes 3 & 4 if switched to 
post-fade.  There  is  10dB  of  gain  at  the  top  and  the  unity  gain  position  is 
marked by “0”.
